Stalling on other Blazer years

Report counts are for each model year on its own, so a newer car has had less time to collect them. Model years with too few reports of it for a sheet: 2020.

What this problem usually is

Stalling reports are some of the most alarming on the site. The engine quits while the car is moving, sometimes on a highway and sometimes at a stop. Many owners say it restarted right away and the dealer found no stored code, which is part of why these complaints pile up before anything gets fixed.

What got replaced

Is this a known problem?

The manufacturer has sent NHTSA 6 service bulletins or notices for the 2019 Chevrolet Blazer that deal with this problem. Newest first.

Federal rules make a manufacturer send NHTSA a copy of any notice about a defect that goes to more than one dealer or owner. Most of these are service bulletins, the repair instructions manufacturers send to dealers. NHTSA generally leaves safety recall bulletins out of this file, and recalls are listed separately.

“Coolant Thermostat needs replaced at 59945 miles. The temperature gauge stopped working and the A/C unit shut off. The temperature outside created a safety issue for my family and I to ride in the car. The engine light came on and a message that stated the Steering Assist was effected. This should not happen in a car under 60000 miles.”

Should you keep driving it?

This page can't tell you that. 0 of 25 reports involved a crash. Owners who file are the ones who had a bad experience, and nobody checks their reports. If the problem affects steering, braking, power or a fire risk, treat it as a safety fault and have it inspected before a long or high-speed drive.
