Reliability & federal safety record

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.

The current generation of the Chevrolet Blazer shows a clear downward trend in complaints, which peaked in 2020 with 211 reports before steadily declining. The 2022 model year marks a significant improvement over 2021, with complaints dropping from 123 to 43. This stability continues into 2023 and 2024, which saw 37 and 38 complaints respectively. For 2022, the most frequent complaint areas were the engine (6) and power train (5), although the data does not specify the root causes. With only one recall and a declining number of TSBs compared to the generation's start, the 2022 model represents a matured version of the vehicle. Given this substantial reduction in complaints relative to earlier years, the 2022 Blazer is a good year to buy.
