I just got this 2021 Blazer 2LT, and I’m only three days in with 27,200 miles… it’s already acting up. I don’t even know where to start. Anyone else had issues like this? What should I check first? I appreciate any advice.

First thing I’d say is to take it to the dealer. Hopefully, it’s still under warranty. Could be why it was traded in though…
Praying it’s not something major 
Sounds like it might be a bad bank 2 exhaust camshaft VVT solenoid. I’d check the oil levels first, then look into the commanded vs. actual cam angle difference. It could be the actuator, but that’s less common.

Exactly! I had the same issue with my Honda. Low oil levels were messing with the solenoids, throwing codes.
@Ariel
Super easy fix. I got mine off Amazon for like $50. This happens a lot with these models—fixed it on a Traverse and Equinox too.
Isn’t this still under warranty? That would be the first thing I’d check.

Well, you bought a used car… get ready for some fun surprises.

I think you replied to the wrong guy.

I just didn’t expect to deal with this so soon after getting a new car… super frustrating.

Yeah, but that’s exactly what the warranty is for. You should definitely use it.
I had a similar code pop up on an older car. Turned out I had gone too long without an oil change, which messed up the cam position sensor. Once I changed the oil and replaced the sensor, it was all good. Maybe the previous owner didn’t maintain it well?
@Hadley
Good tip, thanks! I’ll check that out.
This is why I stopped buying new cars. They’re all junk these days.

Yeah, feeling that right now.
