I am concerned about a significant safety issue with my 2025 Chevrolet Blazer EV. On at least four separate occasions, the vehicle has unexpectedly applied extremely hard Rear Automatic Braking while I was backing up, despite there being no object, vehicle, person, or obstacle behind the vehicle. The braking is so abrupt and forceful that it feels as though the vehicle has collided with something. Because the driver is typically looking over their shoulder while reversing, the sudden stop causes a violent jolt. This has resulted in neck pain and headaches for me and my son on multiple…
