I purchased a 1999 Chevrolet s10 Blazer in March 2002. Since then, I have replaced a front end, a rear end and a transmission. Now I have to replace the rear end again. I have 143000 miles on this vehicle and I am not happy with it all. I would like something done by gm in regards to my plight. I have had gm cars most of my life and never had one as bad as this. I am ready to go to a foreign vehicle. This is undoubtedly the worst vehicle I have ever owned.
I am the owner of a 1999 Chevrolet Blazer (59000 miles) and one day I was driving down the interstate and my check engine light came on. After comming to a stop, my vehicle started having problems switching into 2nd gear. When I got home the truck was fine. Then a few days later it happened again and with no warning I could no longer go into reverse. I took my vehicle to a couple of shops and have been told by each one the the transmissions in these vehicles are known to have this problem. I no longer have a warrenty and it is going to cost me over $2,000 to have it fixed. After reviewing similar reports on this site, I am bothered that there is nothing being done about this issue.
Transmission problems with only 52,237 miles on vehicle. Chevy basically says it's not their problem until a recall is issued. Three local garages in our area all report the same thing to us. . . The transmissions are junk!.

Transmission was replaced at 26378 problems continue. Vehickle does not want to shift into second gear,without revving the engine causing not only unsafe shifting, but poor fuel economy. After replacement of original transmission,problem appears worse than ever.
At take off, the vehicle jumps before accelerating. This was reported to the dealer after purchased. Was told it was probably the way that I accelerated. Another driver experienced the same problem in my vehicle.
Transmission was replaced twice before this third failure. Failed at 200 miles, 5000 miles and again at 5600 miles.
Intermittently when vehicle is in drive it will operate like it's in a lower gear. Dealer has not been able to duplicate the problem.
I am in the process of having my transmission rebuilt. My Blazer has <75,000 miles, with no leaks or any indication there was a problem. I was backing out of my driveway and heard a very loud thump. I got out to see if I ran over something (like my cat), nothing was there so I got back in and tried to continue backing up but the Blazer would not move.
While driving gears popped out of place and clutch was very stiff which could cause a crash. Vehicle been to dealer 3 times, but they were unable to find the problem.
