According to a recently released General Motors Customer Satisfaction Program (CSP), Certain Chevy Equinox EV and Chevy Blazer EV crossovers need the electric drive unit replaced.
According to the bulletin, some Chevy Equinox EV and Blazer EV units may have a condition in which a mounting bolt was too long, damaging the drive unit case and causing a fluid leak. It’s unclear at this time how many units are affected.
According to Customer Satisfaction Program number N24247, the following models may need new electric drive units. The 2025 model year is unaffected.
These vehicles are marked in the GM Global Warranty Management system, with their Investigate Vehicle History screen containing the notice “Open” to indicate the repairs are needed. The customer satisfaction program is in effect until January 31st, 2027.
Judging by the list of parts that require replacement in affected units, it appears that only the front-mounted motor has this problem. If that’s the case, Chevy Blazer EV models with RWD shouldn’t be affected by the CSP.
This CSP was issued shortly after the 2025 Chevy Equinox EV got a safety recall for potentially failing to conform to minimum sound requirements for hybrids and EVs in the U.S. and Canada. In October, both the 2025 Chevy Equinox EV and 2025 Chevy Blazer EV got a recall, along with the 2025 Chevy Blazer, for an issue related to possibly defective door strikers installed in a limited number of the crossovers.
The Chevy Blazer EV has also had issues with phone call quality sounding bad and the windshield wipers being stuck at high speed only. A reinstalled microphone remedies the call quality issue, and a new sensor that detects moisture, ambient light, and humidity solves the wiper problem. Also this year, GM issued two Customer Satisfaction Programs for certain units of the 2024 Blazer EV, which may not be receiving over-the-air updates because the serial data gateway module needs reprogramming.
More insane specs from the monster Vette!
Original 409 engine sourced from a boat swap!
Rough exterior hides a wealth of custom details.
But the model is still dead last in its competitive set.
Plus, a nationwide lease on extended-length full-size SUV.

They spend all this time creating unwanted EVs and then can’t even get those right. Disgusting.
Wouldn’t leak…as much, if it had the 3.6.
Oh, yea, gas engines don’t ever leak oil.
Mine don’t. 2009 Pontiac G-6, 2012 Silverado, and a 2019 Equinox. None leak anything especially not engine oil. If people would change their engine oil at no more than 5k miles (ignore the oil life %), keep the engine within normal operating temp and perform the recommended other maintenance, they likely won’t leak. Leaks start when oil and antifreeze age and lose their protective properties, engines get too hot, and air filters aren’t changed on time.
My 2009 Chevy Equinox never has leaked oil.
Don't. If you have an adult defense of EVs, say it now.
But otherwise, keep the childish tit for tat to yourself.
The point is, EVs claim to be so advanced and convenient and cheap to maintain, and with the mounting list of problems they keep finding, it's obvious they aren't.
There is nothing about EVs that makes them superior, or excused. They are only an alternative choice to the already-established norm. While claiming to be this huge, revolutionary surge forward that they are, in fact, not.
And you think you first year of your new model in the past came out without issues? Uh no! LOL.
Keep up the charade, Mary. Don't let them coerce you into admitting anything .
I'll give them another 10 years. Maybe by then they'll have it right .
I feel sorry for the early adopters but you have to "own your choices" .
I’m liking my 2025 equinox ev so far. Minimal glitches, no leaks, 1LT, so it was priced right. Hopefully my luck continues.
If you have a garage or carpet and travel 40 to 50 miles a day, EVs might work for you. The rest, not so much. There would be traffic backed up for days if everyone needed to stop for 30 minutes to charge up say like on a trip from Denver to Kansas City. Most houses don’t have the electrical capacity to charge two EVs let alone the power grid handling it. Not depending on oil is attractive but EVs just aren’t the answer for an oil-less society.
