I own a 2002 chevrolet trailblazer ext which has been impeccably maintained by me. Prior to going on a vacation I brought the truck into my mechanic for an inspection as usual and he informed me the transmission fuel lines had to be replaced due to excessive corrosion. He also advised me that this was a common problem with this model which prompted chevrolet to change the design. He checked to see if it was on a recall list but was not. I checked the federal safety agency site and have noticed numerous complaints on this same issue. Why has this not been addressed with gm and placed on a recall list for replacement by a dealership?

While driving on the highway I lost power. I pulled over and found the transmission coolant lines had corroded. Transmission fluid had all leaked out and the transmission was ruined. The car was serviced at the dealer 2 days earlier at the dealer. I understand this is a typical problem with this vehicle and should be a recall.

No warning at all. Sounded like I hit something when pulling into a parking spot. I put the truck in reverse and heard the same thing. At 85,000 the transmission was shot and I had to spend almost 1,300.00 to have a rebuilt put in. This truck has been well-maintained and is in very good condition. I am very angry.

With no prior warning of defect, my 2002 trailblazer would not accelerate while trying to merge into highway traffic. After initial look through for any obvious signs of what may be wrong, I was unable to drive my car and had it towed to nearest dealership where a transmission failure was quickly diagnosed and I was quoted a repair cost of just under $5,000 !!! My wife and I think this is pretty odd considering the regular maintenance and absence of signs of trouble, so we researched the internet only to find out that transmission problems (particularly on 2002 trailblazer) are very common. It is believed that general motors is very much aware of this and the phrase "silent recall" kept coming up.

I was driving home when I heard a loud clunk. I turned down my street and the engine started whining and would not go any faster than 20 miles per hour. I pulled into my driveway and proceeded to look under the carriage expected to see oil dripping but, I saw nothing. I decided to start the car and drive around the block but I could not back out of my driveway the car would not go in reverse.

I went to put the vehicle in reverse this morning and it made a whinnying noise and wouldn't move. I thought maybe a had a toy under the car that was making that noise. So I shut the car off turned it back and still same noise when I went to back up. This is a 2002 with under 60,000 miles and has transmission trouble. Same as that other complaints I've read on here. Book says transmission service when 100,000 miles and I don't believe there should be so many problems with a vehicle with low miles and as many complaints as there has been gm should do something about it and think about a recall. I run a daycare and sometimes have 5 kids in the car explain that to the parents if they would have been hurt. It time for gm to do something about it.
