CarComplaints.com Notes: The Trailblazer emerged from an "upscale trim line" of the Blazer, but there's nothing upscale about its transmission problems or its wonky, unpredictable headlights.
Same vehicle same problem. Transmission rebuilt sep 04 at 39000 miles, now broke again at 83000 miles. This sucks have been loyal GM customer since i have been old enough to purchase a car. this is my last GM vehicle
just 3000 miles past the warranty and the car would not go in reverse. After much hell raisin GM paid for the rebuild of transmission as I had kept up all regular maintenance
This transmission seemed to be slipping from day one. the bad thing is the new one does the same thing and I'm supposed to accept that because "that's the way they are"
General Motors has admitted that they have a problem with the 4L60E transmissions that they use in the Trailblazer, Envoy, and Bravada lines. The reaction sunshell and reaction sungears fail. These are faulty parts from the manufacturer and us as the consumers are having to pay for this. They admitted the problem in their TSB #00822B but don't want to help pay for or all of the repair cost. You can also find this problem on the NHTSA site under #10005474. Get the word out, GM needs to own up to this and help there customers.
