My 2020 Chevrolet Blazer experienced severe mechanical problems, including stuttering, loss of power, and the engine shutting off unexpectedly while I was driving.

The radiator and thermostat on my 2020 Blazer had to be replaced at less than 35,000 miles. It was out of warranty and the Chevy dealer charged me $3,500 to replace them. Internet sources state that this is a common problem with this car. I complained to Chevy corporate and they refunded $1,000. I do not feel this was a fair settlement due to the fact that it is a common problem.
