2000 Chevrolet S10 transmission problems

No accident took place but the transmission in two separate 2000 model s-10 and an s-10 blazer have gone out in the same exact manner within 3,000 miles of each other and both vehicles were primarily driven in two different parts of the country. The slipping of these trannys is so sudden that it actually almost became a safety concern while on the highway. I apologize if this is being sent to the wrong dept. But I would like to find out if chevy has had any recalls on these models as well. Thanks!

Transmission shifts hard from 1st to 2nd and displays code 1780, ever since 50 k miles. Had local transmission shop make the tfb change gm recommended and problem reappeared after 15k. I am sure I be told that now with 130k miles out of warranty, still if happened way back. Additionally the transmission fluid has been changed ever 15k and is driven in light highway conditions. Check this site to see how many numerous reports have been made. Http://www.cartrackers.com/forums/live/yourlemon/160.html just wonder why after so long no action been taken to correct known problem.

We purchased a 2000 chevy s-10 in july 2002. Immediately, the "check engine" light would come on during drives of more than 20 minutes. We had transmission work done in the fall. By december 2002, on a 4-hour trip home for christmas, the transmission blew out. We put in a brand new transmission on, but the same problems occur. If we drive more than 20 minutes, the light will come on and we will have hard shifts. Parking the truck and letting it cool fixes the hard shift. But for 4 years we have owned a truck that we cannot drive for more than 20 miles. We have been back to the transmission shop, to no avail. The problem doesn't seem to be the transmission, itself.

Driving down the highway at 70 MPH, transmission abruptly dropped out of overdrive into 3rd gear, causing vehicle to lurch violently. Vehicle was driven to transmission shop in 3rd gear for diagnosis, which LED to $1,806 repair bill, apparently due to a known valve body issue.

On 2 different occasions within the past month, the 4wd has engaged while driving. The truck sounded as if the truck was running in 4 wd while on bare roads. This occurred during normal weather and driving conditions--once while driving about 30 MPH getting off an interstate ramp and the other at 55 MPH on a main road. After coming to a complete stop, putting the truck into 4wd, then into 2wd and backing up, the 4wd disengaged and ran normally. Gm has recommended taking it to a dealership.

We own a 2000 s-10 zr2. The original transmission had 42,000 miles (6000 miles out of warranty) when it failed. The 2nd transmission failed 1 year later as it only had 22,000 miles on it. We are now spending $2600.00 on a 3rd transmission and drivetrain problem. Gm/chevrolet refused to help us when we called in may of 2004. They claim since it was out of warranty they couldn't help. We didn't bother calling them again....please help us re-coup.

My 2000 chevy s10 4x4 (purchased from courtesy chevrolet, phoenix, az) broke down on 8/12/03 due to the transmission slipping out of gear and making a grinding noise between reverse & park when I stopped. The truck would not go into drive, and I had to be towed to the nearest dealer (gateway chevrolet in avondale, az) approx. 65 miles away. After the truck was checked out the next day, the service advisor called to say there was nothing wrong with the truck and that it shifted into all gears and ran normal. (note: there were 82,278 miles on the truck at that time and I had the 100,000 mile extended warranty). On several other occasions before and after this event, I experienced a sudden revving up of the engine, which stopped after several rapid depressions of the accelerator. On 4/11/05, while on vacation in california, the exact problem occured again, except this time, after being towed again to the nearest dealer (coalinga motors, inc., coalinga, ca), it was found the transmission was in need of replacement, as well as the shift forks in the transfer case.
