mediumThe contact owns a 2023 CHEVROLET Trailblazer. The contact stated that while parking the vehicle, the computer system failed to recognize that the vehicle had been shifted into the park position, causing a "Shift to Park" warning light to illuminate on the instrument cluster. Although the gear selector was physically in park, the contact was unable to fully shut down the vehicle and had to cycle the ignition on and off multiple times until the system eventually recognized the park position. The vehicle was driven to the dealer where it was diagnosed to be a transmission control assembly failure. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 61,097.
CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER 2023 AIR BAGS
lowWhile driving on the highway in light traffic at approximately 70 mph and changing lanes, the side airbags in my vehicle suddenly deployed without warning. There was no collision, no contact with another vehicle, no road debris, and no apparent external cause for deployment. I did not strike anything before, during, or after the deployment. There were no vehicles within several car lengths of my vehicle at the time. Highway Patrol was dispatched to the scene. Officer TJ Carter with Guilford County responded. Upon inspection of the vehicle at the scene, we found no evidence of impact or contact with another vehicle, object, or debris. The vehicle was covered in yellow pollen at the time, and even light contact would have left visible marks or disturbance in the pollen. After examining the vehicle, no signs of contact were identified. The vehicle does have unrelated prior body damage from over a year ago on one side, but that damage predates this incident and was not caused by this event. The responding officer can confirm there was no collision or new impact associated with the airbag deployment. There was no accident associated with this airbag deployment. The airbags deployed while I was traveling at highway speed, which caused a sudden and dangerous driving event and required me to quickly maneuver to the side of the roadway. This created a serious safety risk to me and to surrounding traffic. Prior to this incident, there were no warning lights, safety alerts, or service notifications indicating an issue with the airbag system or vehicle safety systems. However, a notification did appear in the My Chevrolet app at or around the time of the incident. The vehicle has not yet been fully inspected following the incident. A safety claim has been submitted to General Motors. I also have video footage of the Highway Patrol Officer cutting down the airbags on-site but cannot add that below so I have added a screenshot.
