The indicated vehicle is my wife's. We bought it brand new on 09/26/2001. She has never towed anything and has city and highway miles. We have had numerous problems: instrument cluster, rear tailgate strap, right rear brake light, (3) solenoids, spare tire dropdown and deteriorated transmission lines. I have repaired all of the previous out of pocket (except for the strap and the spare tire dropdown). Now, my wife was on the way to the bicycle store in her truck, with the bicycle on the back. She was making a turn onto the main road when she heard grinding and squealing, and the speed dropped drastically. Luckily, it was around 10am when there is not much traffic on the road. Reading numerous posts on this website, it is the same problem everyone has had, the transmission sun shell, and no reverse. With 98911 miles, I was about to spend the weekend changing the fluid in the transmission to keep it to spec. Now, I'm looking at a very expensive bill of which I cannot afford. $30 is easier than $1200. And, I'm a manufacturing engineer, so I check fluids regularly, even though the oil change stations check them. Seeing that there are problems with these components, I think that general motors should produce a recall. I'm very disappointed that with all of the complaints, nothing has been done to remedy the situation. We will be calling the dealer that we bought the vehicle from first thing monday morning.

I was driving west on the #10 fry near palm springs ca (65-70 MPH) when the front left tire began to thumb and come apart. Aprx. 80% of the tire tread/belt separated from the definity dakota tire. The remaining tire never went flat. After pulling to the side of the road I called aaa and they removed the tire and replaced it with my spare. The aaa tow truck driver said the tire clearly failed due to a defect. Three days later the car ( chevy. Trailblazer) was taken to a repair shop, due to the flapping tread causing fl body,headlight, f bumper, l running board and fl wheel well damage. Seidner's repair shop removed the defected tire, it was discarded in error and they were not able to retrieve it. The orig set of tires were purchased at pep boys 5/21/06, when I returned last week (5/22/10) to the store where I purchased the set they told me per there corp. Office current recalls did not cover my size. Also (5/25/10) the pep boys corp. Office had a call in to copper tire hdq for a complete list of definity dakota size recalls and to report this complaint. As of 5/29/10 copper has not returned there call, or a call to me.

Greetings national transportation safety administration, I would like to introduce myself as anthony horsley, sr. On tuesday morning at 5:30am, my cooper made tires broke down on the left rear side of the of my vehicle, which is a 2002 chevrolet trailblazer. I managed to get off the freeway and exit safely. I pulled over at a parking lot to discover that the tire had separated and the loose rubber had ripped a hole in my bumper. The cooper tire is a dominator class 255 - 70 - r16, originally purchased through discount tire, with full warranty. In february of 2008 I was alerted when I brought in the trailblazer for an alignment check that the tires were being recalled and they subsequently replaced the front tires with michelin ltx tires. I asked them why they had not replaced the rear tires as well as they were the same type. Discount stated that they were only given instructions to replace the front tires. At this point I believe that the national transportation safety administration should look further into this matter. I hope to resolve this issue by having cooper tire providing me a right rear tire to match the three tires . I have been in touch with mr. Alex pendelton, manager at discount tire, 702.435.1533. Thank you

From first attempt to use the spare tire lowering device it has not worked. Goes down about three inches and stops. Tire cannot be removed. This is a problem when stuck on the highway and is a real safety concern. Chevy has told me that nothing covers this. I am reporting this so that if other people are experiencing the same problem it will be rectified.
