2000 chevy Blazer VIN[xxx] with automatic trans type 4l60e. Reaction shell stripped & system contminated. With resulting loss of reverse gear & 3rd gear. $3000 to fix. Talked with several shops & this is a very common problem. Sounds like manufacture defect of reaction shell not strong enough & teeth stripping off. Wrote to chevy for reimbursement but was refused.

Reverse gone out on transmission twice.

I have a 2000 chevy Blazer on December 16, 2005 the transmission went out. It only has 70,000 miles on it. When I went online to see if I could find a transmission for it, all I found was several websites that complained about the 2000 chevy Blazer transmission and all the problems it was having.

I was driving down the road when my car made a pop sound and would not accelerate. I pulled into a gas station and went to leave and had no reverse. Hard to shift from 1st to 2nd. The car only has 72000 miles on it.

I was driving to work when all of a sudden a heard a loud pop. Then my vehicle would not accelerate. I got to work and my vehicle would not go in reverse. I call my mechanic and had my vehicle towed. It was my transmission that went and it only has 50k miles on it. It cost me 1,400 for the transmission,84. 00 for the tow and 102. 00 for the rental.

While driving consumer noticed that engine indicator light illuminated, followed by the vehicle jerking and engine slipping. Transmission has been repaired three times, but problem recurred.

I own a 2000 chevy Blazer. In the past 3 months I have noticed hard shifting between 1st and 2nd gear after long trips on the interstate(happened 3 times). The service engine soon light came on and I took it to bill heard Chevrolet. Code error 1870 was recorded. It was a valve body assembly malfunction that caused my transmission to have to be replaced after only 67,000 miles.

Automatic transmission . Shifting hard in gears,transmission whining real loud,slipping.

I bought this Blazer 5 months ago and it only has 77,000 miles on it. I took my inlaws to the airport on Saturday morning, 11/29/03, and the transmission went out, no reverse, only 1st and 2nd gear works. I am told by 3 different transmission shops that this is a common problem with this transmission. This is not right, why wasn't this been recalled?.

Someone should do something about the fact that the transmissions on the 4x4 SUV has a problem. The products used are not very heat tolerant. I have spoken to several people who have had to have the transmission rebuilt or replaced. Also in looking on the internet I am seeing an awful lot of people having trouble with the heating and air system on the Blazer.

Consumer stated that while driving at any speed and without warning the throttle would stick in the idle position causing a distraction to the consumer. Dealer notified. Ts.

No summary. Dt.

Purchased 2000 Blazer 11/24/00. Many problems since. Transmission cooler line, warranty repair. Oil cooler lines, upper and lower, warranty repair. Warranty expired and they are leaking still. Problem never really fixed. Idler arm, warranty repair. Driver side recline handle driver seat fell back would not return to upright position, warranty repair. Both front wheel bearings and rotors, warranty repair. From day 1 numerous rattles and squeaks. Door panels rattle constantly. Passenger seat rattles and squeaks. Windshield wiper entire arm came off, repaired at my expense. Out of warranty, at 41,699 miles but not even (2) years old, transmission had to be rebuilt at my expense. Chevy customer service is a joke! cost of transmission $2,442 and the cost of a two week car rental. Even when transmission line had to be repaired we had to rent a car at our expense because local dealer refused to supply a loaner. Again chevy customer service a joke! called chevy hot line/help line and was just given the run around. I will never buy chevy american made auto again. Why is it you can buy any item at most department stores and take it back and receive satisfaction, but spend $25,000+ for a chevy product and you are screwed when you simply want the reliability and service you were promised. I tell every person I meet not to buy a chevy. Solid like a rock? what a lie!.

I was driving down the road when I heard a loud pop. Found out the transmission had gone for reverse, second and third gears. The clutches (automatic) had been replaced in October 2001 and now they had blown. Mechanic said this was a common issue among new Blazers. Gm at first indicated they would consider helping out if the dealership diagnosed the problem and then changed stories to say that they wouldn't do anything until the dealership fixed the problem and then they would consider it; however, it wasn't likely. It seems to me that the transmission shouldn't have two identical major issues within 15,000 miles of each other. Unfortunately, the first repair was only under warranty for 12 months/12,000 miles. Gm needs to step up to the plate.

When vehicle is in first gear, vehicle pops out of gear when consumer applies the clutch.

Consumer was traveling about 35mph and was entering freeway when vehicle started to acellerate and engine just rise up, like it was in neutral, and vehicle decreased speed. Transmission was replaced inside of vehicle . Dealership was aware of this problem there were several incidents happening on this vehicle. The vehicle was brought to the dealer five times for this problem. Each time the dealer replaced different component air flow sensor, fuel pump and transmission. The provlem still reoccurs and the dealer can not find the cause.

While driving at any given speed consumer put on brakes and heard a loud grinding noise. Also while putting vehicle in reverse there was a noise. Dealer said noise was normal. The brake slipped while coming to a stop making a grinding noise on three occasions.

It pops out of gear. Seems to be 2nd and 4th. Thought perhaps the shift boot was defective,. It seems to be extremely tight against the shift while in 2nd and 4th gear. It will be gear, then pop out. It's happened to me since I picked up the car on 12/29/99. It's happened to my boyfriend when he drove it. Just spoke with the service people, they said it didn't happen to them. Don't know what my next move is.

Automatic transmission was leaking oil. Dealer determined that the leak was unusual, and had to take transmission apart to find the cause of the leak.
