(December 27, 2023) Chevrolet has issued a stop-sale on the 2024 Blazer EV to fix a software quality problem, according to Automotive News. The issue is not safety-related and affects "a limited number" of the electric midsize crossovers, Chevy said, without giving a specific quantity. The stop-sale covers vehicles in transit and on dealership lots.

Chevy said engineers are working on a fix for the software issues, which include sporadic problems with screens inside the vehicle and, rarely, during charging attempts at some public DC fast chargers.

"We're aware that a limited number of customers have experienced software-related quality issues with their Blazer EV," Scott Bell, vice president of global Chevrolet, said in a statement to Automotive News. "Customer satisfaction is our priority and as such, we will take a brief pause on new deliveries."

Customers who own a Blazer EV will be contacted and will be able to have the software updated at a dealership, Chevy said.

The Blazer EV launched this summer with an all-wheel-drive RS trim starting at $60,215 with shipping. A 2LT AWD version will follow at $56,715 before the base model — a front-wheel-drive 2LT — arrives in 2024.
