Replying to: kintra (Sep 12, 2008 2:11 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.

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 !!

Replying to: notogm1 (Oct 01, 2008 9:03 pm) I have found out that there was a saftey recall on some year model Trailblazers for failure of the the sun gear and shell. Just something you might check in on could save you some money.

#347 of 422 02 Trialblazer by 02tblazer Oct 27, 2008 (8:15 pm)
Me and my girlfriend have had our 02 TB for 1yr. we got it from an individual who claimed it had 30,000m. on it, Also said that there was no problems with the suv. So we believed him and went on to purchase the truck. we got it in the winter and it drove great. then along come spring and I noticed the temp hand getting warm, come to find out it had a bad clutch fan and a blown head gasket. We had a small shop fix it $1800.00 (outch). Also got a new waterpump $150 new thermostat $50. So after that we now find out it had a bad torque converter. In the mix of all this we go to a toyota dealership to try an trade it on a 4runner, they pull a carfax on our trailblazer and is had been wrecked in a front-end collison. We find out also on the carfax that it really had 120,000 miles on it. So the instrument cluster had been changed. But to make a long story short everytime we fix something on it, something else goes wrong with it, and the repairs are very expensive. What do we do. Anyone have any advice. PLEASE HELP. And, today I went to the gas station an got $5 in gas and drive to my friends house to leave, and the junk wouldn't start. I think I pumped water. will find out tomorrow.

Replying to: 02tblazer (Oct 27, 2008 8:15 pm) Have you thought about dumping it? Just be sure to do a CarFAX on whatever you decide to replace it with.   tidester, host SUVs and Smart Shopper

Replying to: shooter81 (Oct 18, 2008 5:14 am) any idea what the NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID Number is for this recall? I searched the database and could not find a recall for any year model.   My 2002 Trailblazer LT has 106,000 miles. Crapped out on my on way to work this morning, when I heard a loud sound then a whining from the transmission. Wasn't able to get it into 3rd or reverse. .Dealer dx need to replace sun shield (or sun shell?) and price quote is around $1100. GREAT.   I've had this vehicle since brand new, faithfully changing oil and taking in for recommended services. To date, have had to fix suspension, brake lamps, and noisy hood latch. Since paying it off and deciding to drive it til it dies, have ignored the following which no longer work: rear washer/wiper, 4WD (yes, a 4x4 that doesn't work!), non-working dash lights. Lots of other crappy things like very noisy windows when cruising and numbers chipped off radio dials.

Replying to: melody7 (Sep 11, 2008 9:01 am) My 06 is doing the same thing. Any one know what the problem turned out to be ? Just on the highway 60MPH drops in and out of OD. I hope this is not a big problem. Replies to this message: berdman21 (Nov 30, 2008 7:22 am) FrustratedinPA (Dec 01, 2008 8:27 am)
#351 of 422 2006 Envoy Transmission Issue by berdman21 Nov 30, 2008 (7:22 am)
Replying to: cwp0_1 (Nov 17, 2008 9:26 am) I have an 06 Envoy that is having the same issue. I was driving home from a thanksgiving vacation up I95 with my cruise set at 75 and all the sudden the truck began to slow and the RPM's went up to redline. Got off to the shoulder and tried to go again. Had first gear if I manually shifted it, but that was all. Stopped again and then started up. Shifted from first to second, but would not go into third. Had to drive in second gear up I95 for about 2 miles to the next exit. Truck had to be towed to a dealership in NC 700 miles away from my house. Now my family and I are stuck sitting here until it gets diagnosed on monday. Hopefully when I call GM Customer Service they will help me out a little.
