Automatic transmission slips when it tries to shift into 3rd or 4th gear, I read that there was a report on this happening but there was not a recall as far as I know, I recently purchased this vehicle from the original owner who says they never received any paper work from gm about doing repairs. My question is will gm repair this condition at no cost to me?

The transmission cooling lines corroded and caused a transmission fluid leak. The engine rpms increased and the vehicle lost power while going down interstate 86. When the fluid leaked out of the transmission cooling lines, it sprayed all over the exhaust pipes, which caused a severe fire hazard. Due to the loss of transmission fluid, it cased significant damage to the transmission internals.

Car felt "stuck" in gear, wouldn't accelerate, low on transmission fluid. Added more fluid, replaced speed sensor, camshaft & crankshaft sensors. Still having issues with rpms going high, car slamming from one gear into another. Also cannot run heat while driving, fan draws power & causes engine to stall out. Car also burning through gas very quickly.

About 10 miles outside of dallas my check engine light came on but no initial problems. Later that night while driving on the interstate the car would not go faster than 30mph. I returned home that night and left it parked. The next day took it to autozone and the guy did an engine check stating that my transmission has gone out and that it was low on fluids. I added 3 quarts of transmission fluid which seemed to help a little bit, but I do not feel comfortable enough making an 8 hr trip back home.

I bought my 2004 trailblazer new in 2004 and it has been ok. I got in it last thursday and put it in reverse to back out of my basement to go to work. It made a horrible noise so I got my husband up to look at it. Come to find out reverse went out on the transmission. The repair shop said reverse was out and some gears were worn. I had no warning and this just happened. This repair person told us this was weak link on the trailblazers and the transmissions would go just like that. If this is a weak link, gm should recall and fix the problem. I did not take out the extended warranty and I only have about 89,000 miles on the vehicle.
