- What is wrong
- Significant wear can develop on the low and reverse clutch preventing the park pawl from engaging. This can prevent a "no park" condition to occur while the engine is running, causing unintentional movement of the vehicle without operator action. (the "no park" condition will not occur while the engine is off.)
- Risk
- Unintentional vehicle movement could result in a vehicle accident and injury to persons in the path of the vehicle.
- Remedy
- Dealers will check the transmission fluid for contamination which will indicate if the low or reverse clutch is worn. If the transmission fluid shows contamination, the transmission will be replaced.

What 1993 Chevrolet Blazer owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
While driving about any MPH engine will not accelerate, and sometimes will start losing power in middle of highway. Dealer had been contacted. Please provide more information.
While consumer was driving vehicle suddenly stopped, and there was a very loud grinding noise, but vehicle was not moving at all. Has not contacted dealer.
Gm dealership and gm are refusing to do recall 99v193 on vehicle, ABS light is illuminated whil driving, consumer was told the ABS was functioning correctly, it's the module that is causing the light to be illuminated.
The federal safety agency recall #94v093000/manufacturer's recall 9474l60e07. Contacted dealer, and parts were not available. Consumer having problems with recall subject.
The vehicle moved backward, on two occasions in 1999, while running and parked on a slight incline. The transmission was fully engaged in park on both occasions. There is a recall for this condition (the federal safety agency 94v093000), but the recall states that the s-series trucks are excluded because they are "only 2-wheel drive." I have contacted chevrolet motor company and hhtsa and have been told that my vehicle is not covered, based upon the VIN. However, my s-series blazer is 4-wheel drive, I believe that the transmission fits the recall description, and the problem that I experienced (I.e., the vehicle came out of park while running) is the condition for which the transmission was recalled. I, therefore, beleive that the statement excluding s-series trucks because they are not 4-wheel drive is incorrect and neglects the occurrence of a dangerous condition in the s-series vehicles like mine.
Engine bearing failure: premature, chevrolet accepts no responsibility, no offer to help repair (probably linked to odi id's 717356,465597,837150,525624,811729, and 487859. ||| ABS brake failure: occurred while attempting to avoid a collision. Truck skidded for over 90 feet before striking curb and utility fixtures. Gm denied any possibility that the brakes failed. Gm offered no assistance to have brakes examined or repaired for defects. ||| cruise control - stopped working. ||| transfer case failure - truck tries to engage 4wd intermittently while driving (grinding noise). First trip to dealer, said that the problem was brakes ($400 later still grinding). 2nd time, problem found to be defective vacuum switch (damage occurred inside transfer case due to failure). 3rd time chevrolet recommends replacing engine for bearing failure before starting on the transfer case. ||| all cases, gm declined financial assistance. In the case of ABS brake failure, gm reps did not want to talk to me or look at the problem. I am tired of dealing with chevrolet's customer no-service group!!!
Ring and pinion gear failed, causing severe damage.
Anti-lock brakes locked up numerous times.
Vehicle was in park position & turned off. But when the vehicle was turned on, the vehicle jumped foward like a manual transmission, but this one is automatic transmission.
