I've had a transmission problem that hasn't specifically been described above. About every 20 starts or so, my 2003 Tahoe will only drive in 3rd. I have to slam on the gas to get it to go anywhere and the RPMs stay around 2500 when on the highway b/c it won't go to 4th. Also, every time this problem occurs, my service engine (emissions) light comes on almost immediately after I accellerate in 3rd gear. After a few starts the problem goes away and the light turns off. The vehicle only has 45K miles on it. Does anyone have a clue on this issue? Thanks.

The trans is going into limp mode, this needs to be scanned for history codes, many performance issues in the pcm system can cause this, I would suggest your dealer look at this, some emissions components involved in this system may still be under warranty.

The GM 4L60E trans is known for valve body and other problems. The Service Engine light will come on if it senses slipping in the transmission. Usually when this happens the ECM will turn up the hydraulic pressure in the trans to try to limit the slipping resulting in fairly hard shifts.
 
I have a 2000 Suburban with 50k. I had to have the trans rebuilt at 46k due to excessive slipping.
 
Get your truck in to a good trans shop ASAP. The longer you wait the more damage you are doing. If you can get buy with just a valve body rebuild/replacement it won't be to expensive. I ended up dropping about $1800 for a rebuild with updated components.
I just love GM quality, it keeps a lot of people employed

Chevy Trail-Blazer Purchase "Worst Mistake". by ivette16

I purchased a new Chevy Blazer 2002. That was my worst mistake, after one year of purchase, my transmission went out, replaced batteries, and A/C malfunction. 12/2004 a horrible noise started, the rear end needed replaing.
 
This month, April 2005 the starter went out, the car shut down, my car had to be towed. After inspection the car was in need of a new starter and baterry, and now two weeks later my transmission went out, yes for the second time.
 
I'm still making car, insurance, and major repair payments.

Chevy Silverado Transmission problems by crazzywade

Hi All:
        Last night I was driving my 91 chevy sill 350 auto 4x4 when, while accelerating it would not shift into 3rd gear at aprox 40 m.p.h. It would come out of second but it would rev really high and not shift at all. I let it sit but would not shift could only drive about 30 mph and keep in in 2nd otherwise I would have to stop on side of road and start over keeping it in 2nd. This is huge problem for me because I am only sixteen and it would be hard handle the expense of rebuilding or even buying a new tranny any ideas of what could be done and how much to repair. not sure what style of tranny either.
                                               Please Help
                                                                         Thanks A lot,
                                                                                   worried chevy fan

When you say " it would not shift into 3rd gear at aprox 40 m.p.h." do you mean you pushed the stick all the way forward and it wouldn't engage or do you mean you couldn't push it all the way forward?

P.S. You should be posting this question in the Chevy Silverado: Problems & Solutions forum.

02 Trailblazer tranny probs! by vettech93

Hey guys, I guess I find comfort in knowing my 3 year old SUV, with 36,400 miles on it is not the only one with tranny issues! Our TB was not able to go into reverse, and the tach was reading over 5,000 RPM before it would shift. The dealership told us it needs a new spindle?! Any idea as to what that is?! Oh yeah and get this...the dealership sold us an extended warrenty, but it is not a GM warrenty instead it is an aftermarket deal so we may be paying for the transmission repairs out of pocket even WITH the extended plan!!!

04-05 Transmission Problems? by 57chevrolet

Hello everybody! After reading about all of the problems people on this forum have had, I asked "Mr. Goodwrench" if he had heard anything about it. He said that yes, he had, but that Chevy corrected the problem in 2003. I am thinking of purchasing a new Trailblazer, and was wanting to know if what he said was true. So basically, I want to know if you've had tranny problems with 04 or newer Trailblazer models. Thanks guys!

2002 trailblazer transmission by skmaher

I own a 2002 TB w/82,000 mi. My transmission just went out. I do realize it has a lot of miles, but I have owned several Chevy/GM vehicles all had 150k - 200k miles when I got rid of them and none ever had transmission problems.
 
Actually, I have spent money on this vehicle ever since I bought it. My gear shift assembly fell apart 10mo. after I got it. I had to replace my head lights and tail lights, the circuit board that controls them (before the recall came out), I had fuel injection problems ($300), my batter literally split down the side after 2 yrs., I replaced the #4 coil due to misfiring. I just replaced the water pump. The only thing warranty paid for was the gear shift, headlights, tail lights.....I was told warranty did not cover the rest - not even my extended warranty (which I just found out was not a GM warranty).
 
I talked with GM Customer Assistance and got no help. I have now filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau. I have a letter that is being sent to Mr. Richard Wagoner, CEO of General Motors Corp. Depending on what the BBB complaint brings about, I may be airing my complaint about this hunk of junk on my local TV station which airs a segment on the news called 7On Your Side. I have also retained an attorney incase I need to file a law suit. I was told that everyone that has had problems (covered by warranty or not) needs to get together and file a Class Action Suit against GM regarding the transmission problems.
 
Let me know what you did about your problems and how it turned out. Thanks!
