How often has this been happening to you?
Every time I try to put gas in it I've tried different gas stations to see if it was the pumps but it's slow very slow
I have had this on multiple cars. I do not think it is your blazer or your car but rather the gas pump itself. I have 3 cars between my wife and I and I have had this happen on all of them from time to time.

I sometimes think the outside air pressure is a factor but it may just be the pump.

Maybe I am wrong. Who knows.
I,ll try a different pump next time I gas up ;)
I’ve had to fiddle with it when starting the pump. Once going it hasn’t kicked off prematurely.

That's really weird, I've had it happen to me every now and then, usually I just reposiiton the pump and it works. I don't think it's your Blazer that's the problem.
I think it is the blazer that is the problem. The engineers spec’d to tight a tolerance and now we have to find the sweet spot when we fuel up. I’m not bitching about it, it’s a non issue to me. Just my opinion.
I have not had it happen on my Blazer yet with 4,500 miles on the odometer. My Florida car is a 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport and it does happen on that car but usually only at one particular gas station which I avoid as much as possible.
This video might help you out @vmaxed. It give an explanation on what happens when the pump keeps shutting off.

I haven't had that problem, but I have a trouble a few times with removing the nozzle. It seems the flapper wants to hang onto it. :(
Any updates @vmaxed? Is it still taking a long time to fill up your Blazer?
Yes its still taking a long time to fill up,I had to get gas today for my leaf blower so I tried a different gas station.
I don't drive it a lot,I have to bring it to the dealer when I have time.
if a gas pump is working, its working so my guess is the issue isnt with the gas pump, its with your gauge- same as my vehicle. As I stated, I went to get gas several times and my gauge slowly went up to only 1/2 tank even though the fuel pump shut down- the issue wasnt with the gas station pump.
No more trouble with it,I got rid of it...
I think somebody had many reasons to get rid of it. Or stuck with one incompetent service department that didn’t handle a simple fix.
I think the biggest problem with this vehicle is it was made in Mexico....
85% of all parts are made there.
Toyota,Dodge,Chevy or Ford.
And then some.
