The automotive industry has experienced several struggles over the last few years. However, it seems one of the latest is more self-inflicted than before. Recently, there has been an increase in complaints against even the best new cars. In fact, some of these brand-new vehicles have significant transmission problems that have needed costly repairs. The 2024 Blazer is among the worst and it often needs the help of auto mechanics.

The 2024 Blazer has transmission problems

The 2024 Chevy Blazer is a bit of a mixed bag. Many call it one of the best new cars on the market because it’s stylish and delivers solid power. However, there have been quite a few complaints about the car, and many people say it’s not reliable. Of the issues with the 2024 Blazer, the most significant problems seem to be with the transmission in some models. 

In particular, there are issues with the clutch backing plate retaining ring in many of the 2024 Blazer models on the road. However, there have also been instances of problems with the clutch piston retaining ring. Luckily, General Motors has issued a service update bulletin to replace the necessary parts. Still, no one wants a brand-new car with transmission problems. 

There have also been other issues with the 2024 Blazer. They include the infotainment system malfunctioning and problems with the door strikers.

However, it’s not just transmissions in the 2024 Toyota Tacoma that are having issues. The automaker has to replace over 100,000 engines in various 2024 Tacoma and Lexus LX models. Auto mechanics are also saying that the trucks are piling up in shops around the country.
