| 2002 | POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION | 2002 TRAILBLAZER TRANSMISSION HAS FAILED TWICE . FIRST FAILURE WAS AT 38,000 MILES AND SECOND FAILURE IS AT 83000 MILES. THE FAILURES HAPPENED BOTH TIMES AT THE EXACT SAME LOCATION AS I WAS ENTERING A MAJOR HIGHWAY FROM A STOP SIGN. PURCHASED A NEW TRANSMISSION AT 38,000 MILES COSTING OVER $1300 DOLLARS TO GET A NEW TRANSMISSION VS. A REBUILT ONE. I BELIEVE GM KNOW THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE HOWEVER , FAIL TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I AM AFRAID THIS VEHICLE WILL RESULT IN HARM OR DEATH TO MY FAMILY IF THE TRANSMISSION KEEP GOING OUT THIS WAY. *JB |
