On june 10, 2021 i was driving home at a speed of approx 65 miles an hour from the grocery store on interstate 255 when all my side airbags suddenly exploded. My 2021 chevy trailblazer rs was 3 months old and had 3500 miles on the car.after exiting the vehicle, i found the rear passenger tire was flat.upon changing the tire, we discovered that the wheel had split apart.there is no damage to the body or underneath the vehicle.there was no large potholes or debris anywhere in the area.upon starting the investigation with gm regarding the incident, they reported that the air bags acted as they should and they wouldnot take liability.when both myself and the service manager of the dealership questioned why the report had not one single mention of the tire/wheel which caused the deployment of the airbags in the entire investigative report, we were both told "the airbags acted as they should" and the decision was final.the service manager was in shock and has stated repeatedly that based on the facts gathered and condition of the tire/wheel, there was some sort of defect in the wheel which caused it to explode.there is absolutely no evidence to make him think that i hit anything or caused the incident.gm will not discuss the case any further and told me to turn it over to my insurance.the fact that they did not investigate the cause (the exploding of a wheel for no apparent reason) makes me believe they are trying to cover up a potential issue that could impact the safety of other 2021 trailblazer owners. The air bag replacements are on backorder and are predicted to take months.i am currently without a vehicle.
Within 3 months of owning the vehicle i started to hear a crackling sound coming from the passenger speaker in the door.at first it was loud and i thought someone hit me.it did it several times and then stopped.it has happened about a dozen times since i have owned the vehicle.when i took it in for my oil change i told them and they could not replicate it so they didn't know what it was and didn't see anything.it actually just happened again yesterday so when i take it in again i will tell them about this.we thought maybe it was only when it rained but that is not the case, it just happens and i can't think of anything that is consistent when it does.it comes out loud and scares me every time.i just want this fixed, i have only owned my car for 1 year now and like everything but this.
When it is dark outside and you put the vehicle in reverse, the lights next to the back up camera causes the screen inside the car to show bright white. There is no way to shut the screen off when in reverse. I have turned the brightness all the way down but it is still very bright making it impossible to see your surroundings safely. I have almost hit a tree and drove into a ditch trying to reverse at dark. This is very dangerous and needs to be fixed.
The brakes including brake assist stopped working.pressing the brake pedal did little to stop the vehicle.there was recall for this same issue that was preformed by the dealership 3 weeks ago.

When parking or about to move and you put foot on brake and get into a gear a loud audible popping noise comes through the stereo system.it is very loud and not based on how low or high the volume of the stereo is set.there is a thread on trailblazertalk.com about it now.https://www.trailblazertalk.com/threads/popping-noise-in-radio-when-brakes-applied.244/#post-1557

I was driving my brand new 2021 trailblazer (only 160 miles) and stepped on the brake to stop at the end of a street. Suddenly, i got alerts that my brake system had failed and right after that, another one, saying that the power steering needed to be serviced. At that point, it required much more pressure on the brake to stop, and the brakes didn't seem very responsive. Later i shut off the engine, and when i started it again, the check engine light was still on, but i think the brakes were working again. I'm not sure because i didn't want to drive it, just in case.

Two times i have heard a loud pop noise coming through my stereo speakers. I noticed it when applying the brakes. I went on a trailblazer forum and a few others had reported the same thing. I heard the pop today when i was pulling into a parking spot and applying the brakes.
Cutter chevrolet in honolulu had a recall on my vehicle for a jack unable to support the vehicle. I had the appointment to address the recall. Their solution was to remove the jack without a replacement. Now i no longer have a jack. It will now cost me to have someone else to change a wheel that i can do myself. I have a spare tire with no jack in my new vehicle
The contact owns a 2021 chevrolet trailblazer. The contact stated that upon attempting to park her vehicle at 5 mph, the vehicle independently accelerated forward without warning, jumped the parking median and crashed into a building. The air bags did deploy upon impact. The contact sustained minor bruising from her lap belt but did not need medical attention. The authorities arrived at the scene and a police report was filed. Due to the failure, the vehicle was towed to sid dillon chevrolet - fremont(2500 e 23rd st, fremont, ne 68025) where it had remained in their possession to determine the failure. The manufacturer had yet to be notified of the failure. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 6,000.
