THIS CONDITION RAISES THE REAR CENTER OF GRAVITY OF THE 4 WHEEL DRIVE BLAZER AND INCREASES ROLL-OVER POTENTIAL. I SUSPECT THE WRONG AXLE WAS INSTALLED, PROBABLY ONE DESIGNED FOR A 2 WHEEL DRIVE BLAZER. IT WOULD NOT BE THE FIRST TIME GM HAS MADE PARTS SUBSTITUTIONS IN ORDER TO KEEP THE ASSEMBLY LINES RUNNING.*AK

PROBLEM: THE TRANSMISSION POPS OUT OF FIRST GEAR, SOMETIMES IMMEDIATELY AND SOMETIMES AFTER STARTING AWAY WHICH OFTEN CAUSES THE CARS BEHIND ME TO NEARLY REAR END ME. DEALER HAS BEEN ADVISED AND PARTS HAVE BEEN ORDERED. MY CONCERN IS THE LONG TERM SAFETY AND INTEGRITY OF THE UNIT. THE PROBLEM OCCURS ESPECIALLY AFTER THE CAR HAS BEEN DRIVEN IN HEAVY TRAFFIC; THAT IS A TIME WHEN THE CHANCES OF BEING INJURED BY OUR CRACK LEGION OF AGGRESSIVE URBAN DRIVERS IS GREATEST. YOU'D THINK AFTER 100 YEARS OF MANUFACTURING MANUAL TRANSMISSIONS THAT PERFECTION WOULD HAVE BEEN ACHIEVED BY NOW. LASTLY, I'M NOT CRAZY ABOUT BEING A POTENTIAL CRASH TEST DUMMY FOR A PROBLEM WHICH SHOULD BE AUTOMATICALLY REPLACED, NOT PATCHED.
