#372 of 420 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.

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.

Replying to: taluhlabelle12 (Mar 26, 2009 11:16 am) I didn't get a recall either. I had the check engine light come on and the code was for a loose gas cap after this happened a couple of time I took it to the dealer and they told me where the gas tank meets the tube where you fill up was cracked. They wanted like $600 then the catalytic converter went out. A month after that I was traveling out of state and had issue when I went to the dealer in that state they let me know that a recall had just been issued so the swapped the tank out then. I went a while with no issues then the tranny went out twice and now possible 3x all within 20k miles and less then 2yrs. Replies to this message: prestonschevy (Oct 18, 2009 10:32 pm)

#378 of 420 Rebuild by local guy vs factory rebuilt? by icojones Jul 28, 2009 (9:44 am)
I have an '02 LTZ that no longer has a third gear. I have the option of spending $2700+ for a factory rebuilt transmission from my local dealer or spending less than $2k for a rebuild at a franchised shop owned by a family friend. Chevy comes with 3 year warranty, franchise with 2 year. Car has 63k miles and is a station car that drives about 4-5k miles a year. Any strong opinions either way?   Much appreciated.

#380 of 420 2004 Trailblazer transmission with rust by donnak5472 Aug 06, 2009 (2:24 pm)
My 2004 Trailblazer transmission just decided it didn't want to shift out of 3rd last Saturday. It only had 66,000 miles on it. I just had it flushed at 60,000 and I take very good care of my vehicles. Mechanic found dip stick problem as stated in other postings here as well as signs of rust. He contacted GM and of course GM is aware of the problem but doesn't want to take responsibility for it! I can't afford new vehicle ( out of job) and i don't want to just patch it, so I'm getting it replaced and it comes with a 100,000 warranty. Costly, I know. But I can't afford for it to go again. So we bail out GM again! Did I say how much I dislike my vehicle? Crappy gas mileage, a/c that takes forever to cool. I will never buy another GM product!

I have 20,000 miles on this one and the tranny has been slipping around slow turns, and when starting off cold it has a whirring sound until it gets warm.Fluid is full and fine. Any ideas?? Replies to this message: kathy29 (Aug 15, 2009 6:32 am) kishar (Aug 30, 2009 10:35 am)
