In a statement provided to The Verge, <\/em>Chevrolet communications executive director Chad Lyons said, \u201cOur team is working quickly to roll out a fix, and owners will be contacted with further information on how to schedule their update.\u201d Chevrolet vice president Scott Bell said, \u201cWe\u2019re aware that a limited number of customers have experienced software-related quality issues with their Blazer EV. Customer satisfaction is our priority\u00a0and as such, we will take a brief pause on new deliveries.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Edmunds <\/em>reports that two months after purchasing a 2024 Chevrolet Blazer EV RS AWD for its long-term test fleet, the SUV has been at the dealership for two weeks. With 23 fault codes on a diagnostic test, they wrote that \u201cWhat we got back from the dealer was alarming: the single longest list of major faults we at Edmunds have ever seen on a new car.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Things went even worse for InsideEVs<\/em> writer Kevin Williams, whose weeklong test ended after 28 hours. The vehicle\u2019s CarPlay- and Android Auto-free infotainment system went blank while he was driving, and then an attempt to charge the battery failed, producing a \u201cService Vehicle Soon\u201d error message.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

GM did not comment on the record about whether the \u201csoftware issues\u201d identified had anything to do with the Ultium batteries or its Google built-in software platform or confirm how many vehicles are affected. InsideEVs<\/em> followed up its initial report, noting owners of other Ultium-powered electric vehicles from GM complaining of unusual and, so far, hard-to-fix issues with their cars. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n[ad_2]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
