  1. Wanted to buy a new Blazer but I am afraid to get any ICE car from GM since they seem to want to eliminate them and go all in with EV I feel there reliability and effort to make quality ICE cars will suffer

  2. We are so pleased with our 2022 Blazer Premier V6. The Blazer drives fantastic and though it was not inexpensive at $52K, we have all the bells and whistles that you would find on $70K+ vehicle.

    1. To answer your question Carl that would be Mary Barra who is destroying this company with terrible decisions and mismanagement.

  4. Really happy with my 2022 Blazer. It has all the options I believe of an Cadillac xt5 and drives really well. I know it is made in Mexico, but they have done a quality job.

  6. Just got a lease on a 2023 Blazer.. drove it one day engine light came on, also noticed defect in paint on passenger fender and driver quarter panel. Took into shop, said the engine light was something to do with the oil sensor, said I’d have to make another appointment for the paint job… So picked it up after 4 days…still have to make appointment for paint. When I got home the engine light came back on. Was told to bring it back Monday ..this being Saturday… Sunday I drove it, as I was driving it was pulling to the left also out of no where a flashing red light and loud beeping came on where my speed reads at. I’m ready to turn this Blazer in and ask for another one or something else. I had leased a Blazer prior to this one and I loved it!!! I’m beginning to think this is a lemon

  7. Being a GM consumer for over 30 years and the owner of a new Blazer I have to say quality control is terrible with GM. It’s such a shame to see this once great company where it is today much like what’s happening to this great country and it all comes down to horrendous leadership. Don’t mean to mix politics with autos but it’s an unfortunate truth. I’ve had several issues with my own Blazer and I’m just waiting for the next issue to pop up and that’s not how a customer should feel about a brand new 50k+ vehicle. I paid extra for a premium paint color and it already has 4 paint chips. GM is in financial trouble with all the funding they’re putting into EV’s that nobody wants and cutting corners on quality every chance they get to save money. I can only hope things change (replace Mary Barra) before this company goes bankrupt.
