Software issues led Chevy Blazer EV to drop out of sales
General Motors (GM) has temporarily dropped the Chevy Blazer electric vehicle (EV) out of sales following user reports of software issues.
“We are aware that a limited number of Blazer EV owners have experienced some software quality issues,” said Chevrolet in a statement.
GM said it’s working on a fix and release it for the car. The corresponding owners will be contacted by the automaker to inform them about the issue and schedule their update.
On the other hand, GM has not announced a specific time announced for stop-sale orders. Also, the automaker claimed that there are only a “limited number” of vehicles that are affected by this software malfunction.
It has only been a few weeks since the launch of Blazer EV but reports from media outlets revealed big problems in their reviews including Insideevs. The report also found some problems with the charging and vehicle alert system.
A report from Edmunds also found 23 issues in the Chevy Blazer EV that the publication found in long-term testing.
Chevrolet Blazer EV offers an EPA-estimated range of up to 324 miles. It could take 0-60 in under 4 seconds and offers battery limited warranty of up to 8 years or 100,000 miles. This EV has an MSRP of $60,215.
