#364 of 421 WALMART ? -vs- 2004 Trailblazers by bmw28 Mar 26, 2009 (4:05 am)
2004 Trailblazers all owned by different people are having the same problem ... The transmission dip stick is rusting and breaking off and water getting into the transmissions and making the transmissions to go out . This is NOT Walmart. It's a manufacture defect that needs to be checked out and possibly a recall . We all need Help on this one. Replies to this message: biglink (May 27, 2009 6:43 am)

Replying to: kmdl (Jun 10, 2003 10:46 am) how much did it cost to replace the sun gear?my 03 trailblazer just quit moving ,period!!!i can shift to any gear and it wont even try to move.i called the gm dealer and he said its probably the sun shell which i'm assuming is the same thing as the sun gear.the dealer also told me the transmission would need rebuilt if that was the problem. thanks in advance Replies to this message: notogm1 (Apr 16, 2009 9:54 am) robied (Apr 16, 2009 1:07 pm) biglink (May 27, 2009 6:51 am)

Replying to: mobafry123 (Apr 16, 2009 9:18 am) Once the sun shell gear shears off it leaves a nasty mess that filters through your entire transmission and therefor needs to be totally gone through. The cost is between $2200 and $3500 depending on the shop your dealing with. It is true that there is no recall on the sun shell and I found the the dealers will not admit it. I spoke to a few mechanics and one said he does 4 per month at the dealership. GM is sloughing off they research and development to the general public and WE end up with the bill. I had an extended warranty which covered the bill and then I had another $6000.00 worth of various warranty work done including electrical, and timing chain repair by GOOD Chevrolet in Renton, Washington who botched a simple engine light problem. They opened the front of my engine incorrectly and moved my timing chain... didn't want to repair it correctly and handed it back to me. I drove it off the lot and brought it right back. They tried to stick me with a $3400.00 bill. I had it towed to another dealer and they unraveled the story with pictures and an inspector from my insurance company. My 2002 Trailblazer is the worst car I have owned. I will think long and hard before I buy GM again and I have owned 3 of them. Hope your repair is cheaper than mine.

Replying to: mobafry123 (Apr 16, 2009 9:18 am) It cost me $2000 to have the transmission rebuilt and I got the used parts from the transmission shop. You could actually see where the sun shield/sun gear failed. Evidently when GM got these parts, they were not "hardened". The new ones (not sure what year they started the "new ones") have been hardened so that part is not supposed to fail.
#371 of 421 2005 trailblazer by hpd152 Apr 20, 2009 (5:31 am)
I own a 05 blazer with the v8 engine. I am having a problem with it not shifting into third gear. I have tried to manually shift it into third and it still won't up shift. My wife has said she has felt the engine surging, I have not. It only has 45000 miles on it. I have read only a few messages on here so if this is a repost I am sorry. I called the dealership and they seem to have idea of any transmission problems with the 05's. Any ideas?
#372 of 421 2003 trailblazer EXT transmission gone bad by jim317 May 08, 2009 (6:05 pm)
At only 63000 miles transmission is gone no towing no abuse, (only the 1st and reverse works). Did talk to GM but just lost a week of time going thru the "case reps and managers) calling centers outside of US. GM pays them cents on the dollar. GM has trained them how to talk and what to say. It is sad to realize what customer means for GM. It is real sad to see how GM has become, Goverment (our) money isn't going to help them, sorry but GM is a dying company. The transmission (planetary system) has engineering problems which they dont admit. Every transmission shop knows it including their dealers(GM's). My advice if you have a TB, trade it in before it may happen to you, and if you still believe in GM wait at least 5 years (if they turn around of what may be left of GM) because the current product must be worse than the old one with all the cuts in Eng, Labor,and supplier chain (everyone in GM is worried if they can last another day do you think they care about product or customers?). It is sad but its reality.
#373 of 421 Re: WALMART ? -vs- 2004 Trailblazers [bmw28] by biglink May 27, 2009 (6:43 am)
Replying to: bmw28 (Mar 26, 2009 4:05 am) the same thing happened to my transmission dip stick and the dealer said that it was normal and that it would cause no issues. Since then I have had to have the transmission replaced twice in the last two years and now they are saying that the water is coming from a defective radiator. Looks like now it may be my third transmission in less than 3 years and 20k miles.
