6/12/2024 In Damon Parking lot in Rochester MN. Going less than 10 miles an hr- cars in front of me and behind me looking for a parking spot. Stop and go at times. Went to turn corner to go from one level to the next and my BLAZER took off "like a bullet". No control over accelerated speed- hit outer cement wall and slammed into 2 parked empty SUVS. Could not go any farther. The 2 SUVs slammed into cement wall in front of them. Injuries to both my passenger and myself.
After driving the vehicle for random periods of time and at random speeds, all the TPMS sensors will give alarms and then register as dashes on the dashboard. It gives alarms for each tire as each tire goes out until all of them go out. They will reset after a random period of time and start to show the pressure again.
In 2 occasions my vehicle came to a complete stop and turned off on me. I was thinking it was a safety feature but after the 2nd time I was concerned. Took it to dealership and they found nothing wrong with it. On another occasion I was leaving my house when my steering wheel got super hard and made it very difficult for me to turn the wheel. Took it to dealership and they found nothing wrong, according to them truck was perfectly fine.
