2000 Chevrolet Blazer: transmission slipping

Filed Feb 24, 2008 · Locks · TX

I have a 2000 chevrolet blazer and around a year and a half ago my drivers side door started having problems with closing it. I took it to a repair shop and they said door was too heavy and the bushings needed to be replaced and repair the striker plate. That cost was $175 and shortly after the door started slipping down again. Now the passengers side is doing the same thing, I can close it but cannot use it. I have a son that I do not feel safe letting him sit in the front with me because after driving and going over bumps it gets jarred and starts coming open. This is a very unsafe issue and until now I did not know who to complain to. I also have never received a recall letter for any of the listed recall problems such as seat belts. I really would like a response to this complaint because this is a very serious issue.

Upon approaching the driveway vehicle suddenly made a noise. Steering wheel felt funny. Also, front left tire turned in the opposite direction that vehicle was going. When this occurred vehicle skidded. Consumer depressed the brake pedal to stop. This occurred because the left front lower ball joint came apart, and the front right ball joints were starting to show signs of the same failure. The entire front suspension assembly needed to be replaced. Also, automatic transmission slipped when shifting from first to second gear. Meanwhile, while driving in over drive mode, the over drive disengaged and vehicle speed was reduced from a rapid pace to a very low speed. This failure almost resulted in an accident. Dealership determined this was caused by a failure in the torque converter solenoid.

Transmission slips, 38kmiles on my 2000 blazer, out of warranty. Took it to the dealer, the dealer's mechanic said he has replaced a valve on the transmission of four 2000 blazers so far this year. I will make number five - quoted cost of $850. Service center will not cover under warranty. Read several reports about transmission issues similar to mine on 2000 blazers and s-10s. Why no recall? If this is a known problem, why am I not coverred under extended warranty?!!
