Three problems related to automatic transmission control module have been reported for the 1998 Chevrolet Blazer. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
The sun shell breaks on Blazers, mine broke and when I took it to the dealer he said it happens all the time. Now the abs light comes on and the vehicle wont shift out of second and the speedometer will not work when this is happening, only after driving for about 30+ minutes. Why are there no recalls when the dealerships says these things happen all the time and there are forums online with hundreds of other Blazer owner who have had the same problem.
Am the original owner of the vehicle. First factory automatic trans went out at 1 year 10 months/28,877 miles. Per certified cheverolet dealer's repair notes: "removed trans. . . Found 3-4 clutch burned severely and no possible cause for 3-4 clutch failure. . . ". ". . . Found leaking at trans cooler line. . . Replaced lower trans cooler line. . . ". Replaced with certified re-built (srta). Now, 2nd re-built trans failed at 77,867 miles (but only 48,990 on 2nd trans). Per dealership analysis, "r. T. Found to slip in all gears pcm storing p1870 convertor is overheaded and atf burnt bad. . . ". Dealership and cheverolet district rep act as if trans problems are unheard of.
