2025 Chevrolet Blazer EV Lemon Law Buyback in Colorado
Past results do not guarantee a similar outcome.
A 2025 Chevrolet Blazer EV bought new in Colorado kept showing a high-voltage warning from its first week. After 4 repair visits and 42 days out of service, with the problem still under diagnosis, Chevrolet repurchased the EV. The total value of the buyback was $49,280.
The vehicle and its defects
Our client bought the Blazer EV new in September 2025 with 160 miles on it. The first repair came at 1,331 miles, and reported mileage was later about 1,800.
The issues were electrical and drivetrain related. A high-voltage warning message kept appearing on the dash, often with a red car symbol and an exclamation mark. One scan pointed to a loss of isolation on the high-voltage main bus.

The repair record
The record shows 4 repair visits between September and October 2025 and 42 days out of service. The first visit came at 1,331 miles.
- September 12, 2025
A high-voltage warning appeared on the dash. The technician found no active codes and confirmed every module had the latest software. An alignment and a multipoint inspection were done too.
- September 15–26, 2025
The warning was back days later, now with a red car symbol and exclamation mark, after a 25-mile drive. History codes pointed to a loss of isolation on the high-voltage main bus. The charge port housing was replaced and the codes were cleared, and a 17-mile road test showed no current codes.
- September 29–October 9, 2025
The owner reported the same high-voltage warning and red car symbol again. No repair is listed in the record for this stay.
- October 14, 2025–Present
The warning message and red car symbol came back. This repair was still open, and the Blazer EV was at the dealership for more diagnosis.
Colorado Automotive Industry Consumer Protection Act (Lemon Law) and federal warranty law
Colorado's Automotive Industry Consumer Protection Act (Colo. Rev. Stat. §42-10-101 to §42-10-107) covers new passenger vehicles, pickups and vans bought or leased in Colorado mainly for personal, family or household use. For a vehicle bought on or after Aug 7, 2024, as this one was, coverage lasts 2 years or 24,000 miles from delivery. The law looks for 3 repair attempts on the same defect (2 for a safety-based defect) or 24 cumulative business days out of service. The owner must notify the manufacturer by certified mail before the presumption applies, and must use the manufacturer's dispute program first if it follows FTC rules. Claims are due within 30 months of delivery. Attorney fees are two-way in Colorado, so a court awards them to whichever side prevails. The remedies are a replacement or a refund less a reasonable offset for use.
This Blazer EV had 4 repair visits for the same high-voltage warning, which is the kind of record the 3-attempt test looks at, and 42 days out of service. All of it happened within weeks of delivery, and the reported mileage was only about 1,800. Federal law adds a second path. The Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act (15 U.S.C. § 2301 et seq.) reaches written warranties a manufacturer fails to honor, and it may allow recovery of attorney fees.

How RockPoint built the claim
The repeat warning carried this claim. The same high-voltage message showed up at every visit, and replacing the charge port housing did not stop it. By the last visit the dealer was still diagnosing the problem.
The numbers were stark and brief. The EV was only weeks old, it had about 1,800 miles, and it had already spent 42 days out of service across 4 visits.
The outcome
Chevrolet agreed to repurchase the Blazer EV and the matter settled in August 2026. The total value of the buyback was $49,280 ($49,280.24 exactly). The figure included the loan payoff, the owner's payment and attorney fees.
