While using my vehicle, twice in one day, my vehicle failed to recognize that it was in park. My 2019 Chevrolet Blazer essentially malfunctioned, and was unable to recognize that it was in park, which left me unable to leave the car to go into my office building. The car was in fact in park, but did not recognize this fact. I tried exiting the vehicle and closing the door, but the car still would not turn off. I was left to essentially babysit my car, while attempting to work the gear shifter back and forth between drive, reverse, and park, until it eventually finally accepted that it was set to park, and allowed me to fully power the car down. If I am unable to have the car recognize that it is in park, I am unable to leave it, as it can be started and driven without the FOB due to the potential safety hazard of the vehicle thinking it is not properly shifted into park. …

My 2019 Blazer gave a Steering Assist warning on 2 Nov 2024. I was aware of a recall for other Blazers but for some reason my VIN was not among those recalled. I took it to the dealership on 6 Nov 2024. The dealership has determined that the issue is indeed the same issue with those other Blazers that have been recalled but refuses to include my car in the recall because the VIN number wasn't originally among that recall. I was told that the car needed anew temperature gage and that they would have to order it, however, the component was available outside of the dealership. I paid for the diagnostics and the part, being told that the light(s) would stay on, I would still be able to drive it and that I would receive a call when the part came in. …
