Chevy’s new Blazer EV may have poor phone call quality: Here’s how to fix it

If you’re having trouble talking on the phone in the new electric Blazer, it’s not just you. GM issued a memo to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration due to poor phone call quality in the new Chevy Blazer EV. Here’s how you can fix it.

The new all-electric SUV is part of GM’s recent EV blitz, which includes new low-cost, luxury, SUVs and electric truck models. In other words, an “EV for everyone,” as GM claims.

With the Blazer EV rolling out to dealers nationwide, some owners are complaining about phone call quality when connected through Bluetooth.

GM issued a memo to the NHTSA stating due to “poor sound quality on a phone call.” The issue potentially impacts all 2024 and 2025 Blazer EV models.

The communication states, “A customer may complain during a phone call that the sound is muted or muffled.” Although the sound “will be good for the person in the vehicle,” the person on the other end may have trouble hearing you.

GM said the microphone may have been installed backward. Because the microphone holes may not align, it could prevent sound from reaching the device.

If you experience this issue, you can take it to a local dealer, and a technician will reinstall the microphone to correct it.

The 2025 Chevy Blazer EV launched last month with more range and lower prices. The new base FWD model will be available later this year, starting at $45,995. The current lowest-priced 2025 Chevy Blazer EV AWD starts at $48,995, with up to 300 miles range.

All new Chevy Blazer EVs are eligible for the $7,500 federal tax credit. GM will release more details on the FWD, and SS trims closer to launch.

The electric Blazer helped push GM to a record Q3 with 32,095 electric vehicles sold, up 60% from last year.

GM sold nearly 8,000 Chevy Blazer EVs in the third quarter, slightly less than the 9,772 electric Equinox models. With the $35,000 Chevy Equinox EV finally arriving at dealerships, the company expects electric vehicle sales to continue seeing demand.
