My 2002 chevy blazer will no longer shift into 4-wheel drive. It has been this way for over a year now, and chevy won't even acknowledge my communications about it.

Tl* - the contact owns a 2002 chevrolet trail blazer lp. The contact stated that transmission coolant lines design was flawed. The the coolant lines were close to the exhaust pipe manifold, and they heated up and cause damage to the coolant lines. The contact stated that this was very costly, and should be a safety recall.

Drove from ohio to florida, 1040 miles. 250 miles into the trip, my console became extremely hot. The side of the console touches the drivers seat and it was making my seat very hot. The items inside my console melted, the hand wash burnt my hand when I took it out to use it. Now the console is getting hot only after 50 miles and sometimes less than that. Also, the cd player gets hot. The cd's occasionally become so hot that I drop them when they get spit out by the player by itself. I have no idea what the problem is and I am worried my blazer may catch fire or blow up. Also, at times when I start up again from a red light, the transmission sounds so loud like it is working very hard to get moving. I know these things are not normal. Am I safe driving my blazer? I bought it brand new in 2002. Now I am afraid of it.

No warning signs. Just put my 2002 blazer in reverse, heard a loud pop. Wasn't sure what happened, so I got out on the road and couldn't accelerate fast enough up a hill and almost got rearended by a car going 60-65 MPH. Pulled over and finally figured out that it wouldn't shift out of 2nd and I had no reverse. Called local chevy dealer and he immediately knew what had broken. (something called the sun shell casing or sun gear, I think). I only have 50k miles on that car and now have been told they wont just replace the part, they have to replace the entire tranny.

Front wheel hub assembly went bad

Filed Jan 19, 2005 · Transmission · FL

I have been hearing a noise in the front end for a few weeks and I had the tires replaced but it did not cure the problem. I have found out that I need a hub assembly which is $500 for the part alone and I need an idler arm which I have taken my vehicle in faithfully for maintenance to the dealership and they never told my about it and just said to watch the tires. Obviously with the wear on my tires (outside wear) they should of have known. I have been in twice for the front end replacement of bushings and many other things and I also have heard from many people having the same problem as I have with the hub assembly. Not everyone has $500 to just fork out. Please help.

Real axle failure, front wheel bearing bad. *bf

Immediately following purchase of a 2002 chevrolet blazer in august 2002, I noticed a loud roaring noise coming from under the hood which occured mostly upon startup when engine was cold and put into drive gear. This noise was also intermittently noticed after coming to a stop and then accelerating. By the time I drove it back to the dealership, it was not doing it. Since purchase, 2 replacement batteries have been installed. Service dept at dealership said alternator was draining the battery and replaced the alternator. Car is still doing this but dealer is unable to duplicate and saying loud roar is most likely normal. Now several acquaintances have said they had the exact same problem with their blazers even though they were a different year model. Once the warranty runs out, this problem could add up to quite an expense.
