My husband's was driving his 2000 chevy blazer (52,000 mi) out of a parking lot when he heard a bump and his transmission fell out of gear, from then on the car would not go in reverse. We spent $2,200.00 for a new transmission. A year I am driving my 1999 chevrolet blazer (56,000 mi.) up hill on a one lane, (each way) curvyroad and I hear a bang and grinding noise and, surprise, no more reverse. Coincidence - I think not. We had to get out and stop traffic to try to manually turn the car around so we could drive back forwad. Very dangerous situation.

Transmission failure at 39,400 miles, requiring a complete rebuild. Vehicle would not shift into reverse at all, and shifting to 3rd and 4th gears became extremely sluggish. Dealership diagnosed a broken sun shell and that several clutch packs had gone out. This vehicle has been well maintained and has never towed anything. The dealership offered to split the repair cost 50/50, but I felt that more was warranted given the low mileage of the vehicle. Gm refused to provide any additional assistance.

Automatic transmission failed at 49,026 miles. While driving and applying pressure to the accelerator pedal, there is an audible sound of a gear "free wheeling". The transmission hesitates to shift gears when traveling forward. Although the gear shift level can be placed into reverse, the vehicle will not move in reverse. Lindsay chevrolet (dealer where I purchased the vehicle 3 years, 2-1/2 months ago) conducted a preliminary diagnosis that involved no computer check, but based on the evident noise and performance of the transmission recommended replacement of the transmission. Beginning at 28,805 miles, this vehicle also experienced a recurring oil leak from the lower oil line/oil line adapter that took the dealer four attempts over four months to identify and repair. The right hub assembly also burned out at 38,190 miles. Ts
