| 2002 | POWER TRAIN | MY CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER BLEW ITS TRANSMISSION FOR THE 1ST TIME ON 6/1/06 AT 47000 MILES. THE REPAIR QUOTE WAS $2700 BUT CHEVY ENDED UP COVERING ALL BUT $200 AS A WARRANTY REPAIR. ON 2/24/12, IT BLEW ITS TRANSMISSION FOR THE 2ND TIME AT 94000 MILES. THE CAR STILL HAS ITS ORIGINAL BRAKES, BUT IS NOW ON TRANSMISSION #3. THE REPAIR QUOTE THIS TIME IS $3038. OBVIOUSLY THERE IS A DESIGN DEFECT IN THIS TRANSMISSION, AS THE CAR IS JUST DRIVEN UNDER AVERAGE CONDITIONS (NO TOWING, NO HEAVY LOADS, ETC.) *TR |
