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)

Replying to: r3short (Aug 14, 2009 12:34 pm) To: r3short post 381 dated Aug 14, 2009. Your post title is Trailblazer SS 2008 then your message reads I have 20,000 miles on this one...May I ask you what "this one" means?, Are you talking about the Trailblazer SS 2008? If you are talking about the 2008 SS then it should be under warranty weather you bought it new or used, unless of course it has over 100,000 miles on it.

Replying to: r3short (Aug 14, 2009 12:34 pm) I have a 2004 trailblazer Lt..Had no problems until last mth with the slipping tranny... and like urs fluid is full. I even had it changed. My ck engine light came on so I took it to Advance Auto Parts store let them put the test machine that finds the code. Mine was a sensor, just like a friend told me These trucks have an electrical tranny and a sensor will make u think ur tranny is going bad. My truck pulls going from 2nd to 3rd..code stated solenoid b stuck on, which means the tranny is not downshifting when u slow down to stop. The sensor for solenoid b, is abt $18.00. Where is goes I still have to find out.. rather do that than buy another tranny

My 05 Trailblazer started slipping/missing about 2 weeks ago. I purchased it about 2 years ago, and with never replacing the spark plugs since I bought it, I did just that hoping that the problem would cease. Unfortunately, the vehicle is still missing as before. I've got 113,000 miles on the vehicle and have had no major problems with the engine since purchasing the vehicle. I'm not at all ready to hear a mechanic tell me its my transmission, but does the missing usually point to the transmission going out?? As I'm driving down the interstate, I can feel the missing take place, but also watch my RPM Needle jump. It feels as if it's trying to keep up with my acceleration, but just can't quite get it. I appreciate any feedback.

My 2003 TB seems like it is stuck in one forward gear (3rd?). Sounds like high RPM (not engine rpm) with low power. Problem started two months ago and disappeared for two months but is back again. Will manually shift into reverse but still has whirring rpm noise, even in neutral.

I have an 02 tb with 185000 on it. ran great til today. the trans is stuck in 4lo and wont shift to 2wd. also slips a bit when starting out. I also noticed that if I turn the wheel right or left hard it seems like the front diff is almost locking up. Any imput? Replies to this message: kevinjosh (Sep 08, 2009 12:17 pm)

Replying to: kevinjosh (Sep 07, 2009 4:30 pm) WOW do I feel dumb. If you have this problem, take time to read the owners manual. You need to put the vehicle in neutral in order to shift out of 4lo. DUH!!!
#389 of 420 2002 Trailblazer by elijesse Oct 05, 2009 (10:17 pm)
I bought my 2002 TB in 2004, just out of warranty, I have driven only Honda's, usually getting 250-300K before trading. Not sure what possessed me to buy a GM product, but I did, and since the day I drove her off the lot, I spent money, on average, $ 500-600 every 3-4 months just to keep the darn thing on the road. Never mind that I paid almost 18K list price. Long story short, this TB has had two clusters replaced, the 2nd one does not work and I will NOT pay for another one, the switch for the heat and air work when they want to. The radio has gone out completely, it started going out about 18 months ago, Apparently, the transmission has been on it's way out for about a year now, though I didn't know it, and after six trips to the dealer and other repair shops, no one could tell me what the "funny" sound was coming from the rear of the car. "The car was paid off three days ago, and the transmission froze up this morning. I added up what I have spent on the "Chevy piece of junk" and it looks like 26,000.00 is a good round number, that does include the 18K I paid for the darn thing. It's sitting in my drive way, I dropped 2400.00 on it in the past 7 months, sadly none of the money was for transmission repair. It has 133,00 miles on it, and it will never roll another mile, as I plan to junk the car. I have had it. I cannot believe that only 3 days after paying the final payment, the car is not drive able. I called for a price on the transmission and they quoted 3100.00. I wouldn't pay 100.00 much less 3100.00. I'm done with ALL American Made Cars. I tried, and have regretted the choice I made almost daily. I'm going back to Honda, Toyota, or Nissan. Buyer beware!! Don't buy a Trailblazer, as I have a very good friend that bought a 2006 and she is having same issue with the cluster going out, and hesitation, sluggishness, which she worries is the trans.

Replying to: taluhlabelle12 (Mar 26, 2009 11:33 am) Hi taluhlabelle12,   How many miles did you have on your 02 Chev Trailblazer when you had it at the dealer for your transmission or when GM agreed to pay for the repair? Also I cannot find the Internet link to the safety recall for the sun gear/sun shield, where is it? so many people talk about it but I have yet to find it on www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov. If anyone reading this message knows where the Internet link is about the Sun Shell/Shield please reply with the link, thanks. BTW I have an 02 Trailblazer LT regular length with only 21K as of October 2009. I really can't afford to buy another vehile just to have peace of mind that sometime soon my 02 Chev TB transmission may bite the dust.
