2024 CHEVROLET BLAZER EV Forward Collision Avoidance Warnings Problems

While driving, most often at dawn/dusk and commonly with cruise control engaged, the vehicle will falsely detect a vehicle ahead when none is present. It then triggers sudden Automatic Emergency Braking along with a crash/forward-collision indicator, causing an abrupt speed drop of 15–20 mph. This is a major safety concern for my family and me while commuting in our family vehicle. If a vehicle behind us follows too closely and does not brake as rapidly as this faulty feature activates, it could cause a severe rear-end collision, or the driver may swerve into the other lane and collide with other vehicles to avoid hitting my vehicle, which has suddenly decreased speed. Other safety concerns related to this faulty braking feature include passenger whiplash and strains when the vehicle suddenly decelerates, instability on wet/snowy/icy roads, and the loss of an important safety feature. This vehicle safety feature cannot be used due...

This forward collision system will engage at inappropriate times when there is no crash concern. This vehicle has routinely engaged in a highway setting locking up the brakes and forcing the vehicle to a full stop on the highway with vehicles at speeds of 60+mph causing a grave safety risk and an immanent risk of serious injury or death from a serious highspeed crash. This software simply does not work and is not designed and programmed properly. It should not be on the road and shouldnt be used in a public setting. Each instance of my safety concern there was not a vehicle withing the proper distance that a crash was going to occur.

My son was driving in stop and go traffic on I-95 and he rear-ended another car. No safety features activated: i.e. dash warning lights, audible noise, auto breaking. Last week I was at teh dealer for the recall that effected the Emergency Breaking system. Talking with the dealer some updated turns the auto system off, or otherwise adjust the settings that I have prior. Backing out of the driveway the car lock up the breaks when it sees my trash can, but not on the highway? The dash warning lights randomly light up with nothing in front of me. I know the system does not prevent every accident, but it seems to pick and chose what it warns about. It is more a hazard then a help in its present state.

Windshield has terrible glare and reflects the dashboard as to limit visibility. Front collision and auto braking including rear collision and braking are a safety hazard as they create hard braking events for no reason. Car will stop sudden for no reason. These are both serious safety issues. These are problems we have had with the car since purchase and have had the dealership shop work on the problem and were told just to leave it turned off. This is not the correct way to fix a problem with a vehicle.

The collision avoidance and automatic breaking is know. To be defective enough that employees on the forum suggest changing to alert only. But it goes off so much that I tend to ignore it subconsciously which could lead to a serious accident
