2000 Chevrolet Trailblazer

2000 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER HAD TRANSMISSION FAILURE WITH ONLY 71,000 MILES. DEALER CLAIMED THAT IT WAS A "NATURAL THING" FOR THESE TRANSMISSIONS TO FAIL. GM CUSTOMER SERVICE REFUSED TO ASSIST EVEN THOUGH HUNDREDS OF THESE TYPE COMPLAINTS HAVE BEEN FILED. AN IMMEDIATE RECALL SHOULD BE IMPOSED ON CHEVROLET FOR DISTRIBUTING FAULTY TRANSMISSIONS THAT FAIL EVEN BEFORE MAINTENANCE IS DUE. I WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED TO SEE A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT OVER THIS DUE TO THE HIGH NUMBER OF TRANSMISSION FAILURES. SOMEONE WILL EVENTUALLY GET SEVERELY HURT OR EVEN KILLED BECAUSE THERE IS NO WARNING BEFORE THE TRANSMISSION BREAKS. *JB

AT APPROX. 50,000 MILES I HAD TOTAL TRANSMISSION FAILURE IN MY 2000 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. THIS VEHICLE WAS USED UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS. THE RESULT WAS A REPLACEMENT OF THE TRANSMISSION (GM REBUILD) INSTALLED AT A DEALER FOR COST OF APPROX. $1800.00 WHICH WAS UNACCEPTABLE THAT I HAD TO PAY ANYTHING IN MY OPINION, EVEN THOUGH THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. I HAVE SPOKEN WITH OTHER OWNERS WHO EXPERIENCED THE SAME ISSUE.

I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS A LOT AND FOUND THE INTERNET FULL OF PROBLEMS WITH BLAZERS AND THE TRANSMISSION GOING OUT / THE DEALERSHIP ALSO TOLD ME THIS IS A COMMON THING FOR BLAZERS (THE TRANS GOING OUT) IN WEST VIRGINIA I WAS TOLD BY A SALES DEPARTMENT THAT THIS IS COMMON FOR CHEVY BLAZERS. GM TOLD ME AND SOME OTHER INTERNET PEOPLE THAT THERE IS NOTHING THAT CAN BE DONE. I THINK AN INVESTIGATION NEEDS DONE /TRUCK HAS ALWAYS HAD A WEIRD NOISY THAT WHICH WE COMPLAINED ABOUT AND WE WERE TOLD UNTIL SOMETHING HAPPENS THERE IS NOTHING THAT CAN BE DONE. I WENT TO BACK OUT AND THE TRUCK WOULD NOT GO INTO REVERSE. 2. UNABLE TO DRIVE TRUCK DUE TO NOT GOING INTO REVERSE. 3. CALLED TO SCHEDULE ESTIMATE. GM SAID THEY COULD OFFER A REBATE CUSTOMER APPRECIATION BUT THEY ARE ALREADY ADVERTISING THIS OPTION TO ANYONE. *JB
