#337 of 345 2006 Trailblazer Transmission Issue by melody7 Sep 11, 2008 (10:01 am)
Trans seems to shake vehicle when in overdrive traveling 50 to 60 mph, can pull out of overdrive into 3rd and the shaking stops. It's like it's not locked up completely. Have not carried back to dealership as yet, planning to next week, Any ideas what this issue might be and how big a transmission problem is this. Thanks for your imput.

I then noticed my car not shifting good at all.I pulled over and transmission fliud was leaking everywhere.I only have 53,000 miles on my car and it was a lease that I bought last October.I called my sales person back and even called the Chevy dealership to check for any recalls.My car is at my job...awaiting a tow to the dealership,now.I hope this isn't going to be too expensive or even worth the trouble.

Replying to: kintra (Sep 12, 2008 3:11 pm) Hi kintra,   You posted your problem i.e Sep 12, 2008 (3:11 pm) talking about your smoking 02 Trailblazer...sorry to hear about it , but you replied to my post that has nothing to do with my 02 Trailblazer smoking. You may want to reply to the person or posting who's 02 Trailblazer was also smoking.   Watch those dealership's too! Many are know to lie and it sounds like your extended warranty provider may be being dishonest or did not completely get the low down on it all prior to denial of your claim.   I also learned that car dealerships get money from the manufacturers for the dealership to offer to customers what they call "complimentary service". This complimentary service is for say service for vehicles that are out of warranty and still experiencing problems that were there say prior to the warranty expiration and or major things like replacing transmissions even if a vehicle is say 5 years old. With this complimentary service the dealership will fix or have fixed the vehicle and will split the cost of the repair with the customer.

Replying to: fordfan_17 (Jul 08, 2008 6:00 am) Fordfan_17 Where are you? Please respond to my reply!   First reply and question to you from kathy29 on Aug 1, 08 (4:51 pm). Have not heard from you since.   I still need to know how to determine what transmission is in my 02 Trailblazer. Once I find out what transmission I have in my 02 Trailblazer I want to do some research on this transmission. I appreciate your help.

Replying to: burdawg (Dec 23, 2007 11:55 am) Hi mstarr13,   I have a good question for you since you discussed for one posting that you thought this person's particular problem may not be the transmission but could be the Fan Clutch. I am here to ask you knowing little to nothing about cars or trucks but am not a dummy to learn, what does a Fan Clutch do? Is there a working relationship between the Fan Clutch and the Transmission?   My 02 Trailblazer intermittently (not all the time) at start up in park hot or cold will run high rpm's about 1100, sound as though it is racing and will not idle down even after, one time I waited for 15 minutes. When I put it into drive then drive there is little to no power but it will drive. Then after driving about two blocks the truck will shift and run normally. Under warranty dealership said they could not repeat the problem and could not help me. It is now six years after I bought the vehicle new and this intermittent problem still exists. I really would like to know what it is and why it could not be found on the recorder my dealership installed for me to use when the problem was happening. The recorder was hooked up somehow to my truck and I was supposed to push buttons in particular sequence and or at the same time (I can't remember) but the recorder was supposed to record that particular instance at the time. Dealership put two different recorders in my truck and they said neither recorded the problem and I did verify with them I was using it correctly. I appreciate any information that you can provide to help me. I only have 17,000 miles on my 02 Trailblazer. Yep that is correct 17 K did not drive for a few years.

Replying to: kintra (Sep 12, 2008 3:11 pm) Failure of Transmission on 9-3-08. I have a 2002 Trailblazer LT 4WD. I nearly had a collision with an oncoming car because of loss of power as I turned left and tried to accelerate across the centerline. My car would no longer move forward or in reverse. The car was towed to a transmission shop. They told me that it was the failure of the Sun Shell, a $39 dollar part. The entire ordeal cost me over $3600.00 and climbing. The failure of the sun shell sheared off the cheap gears and the fragments filtered through my transmission causing more damage. My car had 76,094 miles on it at the time. The owners’ manual states that service for the transmission is not due until 100,000 miles. I thought I was buying a dependable car. This, I consider a major safety issue. If I were in traffic on the freeway and the transmission failed I would have been in serious trouble. I can only imagine what would have happened if was in the path of a semi truck. In the name of safety and the consumers’ pocket books that fund this engineering gaff, I think this issue should evoke serious consideration by the NHTSA to enforce a recall of the Sun Shell transmission part in all GM cars. I urge all with this sun shell transmission part issue to file a formal complaint with the NHTSA (National Highway Traffic and Safety Administration) http://www.nhtsa.dot.gov/ Your complaint will add to the growing list of complaints on the transmission failure, or any other problem, and force GM to issue a recall. I have had issues with seat belts, wiper motors, tail lights with melted receptacles, head lights not turning on, fog lights not turning on, exhaust leaks, and engine valve noise. Some have recalls and have been fixed, but I already paid for the car once and don't feel it is my or anyone else's responsibility to pay for research and development after the final sale of the car. Do you homework GM. You just lost another customer.
#344 of 345 2004 Trailblazer by kymms39 Oct 04, 2008 (4:19 pm)
Well I am a female with a child and my only means of Trasportation and now I am sitting here with my whole front in of my SUV tore apart. We thought it was a Flywheel and with further invesigation it appears as I need a entire transmission. My Dad told me I am screwed there are metal shavings all through out the transmission. I have no idea what to do with this piece of crap truck. I don't owe anything on it so my only choice it to try and find a rebuilt, or used transmission. Does anybody have any suggestions??????? I live in MI and really need my truck fixed !!
