Automatic Transmission Problems of Chevrolet Blazer - part 2

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.

Transmission shifts extremely rough, problem is even worse when vehicle is warm. Problem started at 70,000 miles. Found out through research that this problem is extremely common in Chevrolet trucks, vans, and suvs from 1995-1999. Why no recall yet?.

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.

Automatic transmission not shifting from reverse to first gear. Causing the engine to race but moving as though it is in second or third gear to start from a dead stop. Once moving at second gear speed it is working fine. Service engine light is on. When scanned it shows codes p0740 and p1860 (p0740 is tcc sensor malfunction ---p1860 is shift plate d grounded to battery)when codes are cleared the codes come back. Transmission fluid and filter have been replaced .

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!.

Consumer states ball joints are constantly failing. Consumer has had to replace them twice. A recall was initiated, but consumer's VIN was not included. Related recalls 01v200000 and 01i018000. Right front wheel fell off as a result of the faulty ball joints. There was squeaking noise on turns due to idler arm failure. Front pads worn out and rotors failed, both were replaced.

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.

After running the vehicle on the highway for a short amount of time, the vehicle shifts hard from first gear to second. Had to rebuild the transmision. Several other vehicles, same make and model, and even year, were in the shop for the same problem.

Power train-transmission is loud and almost is slipping when going into 1st and 2nd gear of automatic transmission. Dealer says others have same complaint with no fix available. Fan clutch engages due to faulty signal from sensor. Engine sounds very loud when it engages. Fan clutch replaced once already before taking delivery of car. Another dealer states that this problem has also been present since 1999 for this car with no fix available. There is a TSB on the transmission problem with cause unknown and no available fix. Seems that since others are having this problem manufacturer should be held responsible.

This truck was always serviced at the dealer where it was purchased. Any scheduled maintenance was done including the transmission. On the 60,000 service the service manager suggested a flush type of transmission service & I said to proceed. The very next day the vehicle was picked up & immediately showed symptoms of shifting at different speeds than it had before the service. After some calls to the service department the vehicle was brought back so they could diagnose the problem. No definitive answer could be given but the service manager stated, they, the dealership, would accept no responsibility for the problem. I guess they never heard of cause & effect. Needless to say I removed the vehicle from their possession immediately. A third party repair facility had determined the transmission had self destructed to the point of major damage. Subsequently I spoke with other shops only to find the method of flushing was a bad idea most likely did cause the failure. So much for an authorized dealer & manufacturer standing behind their work. This cost me to the tune of $2,000.

Contamination in transmission fluid. Dealer contacted. Feel free to provide any further information.

I have a 2002 Blazer. Since I have owned the vehicle it has performed unsatisfactorily. The engine randomly makes roaring noise, the rpms rise and there is concomitant loss of power. I am told this is normal and that it is related to the fan clutch motor and a sensor that works erratically. The fan clutch has been replaced once and the vehicle has been in the shop several times. I have been involved in several near misses as the vehicle does not perform in a predictable manner. Chevrolet refuses to take any responsibility for this issue though I was offered $2000. 00 toward the purchase/lease of another vehicle. In reviewing this website I note that there are several other complaints about this problem and in all cases gm/Chevrolet has refused to accept any responsibility. Is there nothing that can be done from a regulatory perspective or do we have to wait for another corvair/pinto debacle.

Transmission tube and dip stick were rusted and sediment was in the transmission fluid. Transmission jerks switching from first to second gear. Noticeable slipping between shifting while driving 45-55 mph.

While slowing down from high speeds vehicle will start to accelerate. Also, vehicle will shutdown at times too. Contacted dealer, and dealer has replaced several parts of vehicle, including transmission; but, nothing has worked yet.

Had faulty tfp switch and dip stick replaced per bulliten #86-71-17 on 2-8-99. On 3-20-02 tranmission failed took it to dealer but they do not rebuild them. Took it to qualified transmission mechanic. He rebuilt it at a cost of $1900. 00. He said he found a lot of rust in it which is very unusual. I plan to call Chevrolet about this but I doult this will get me anywhere.

Vehicle will not shift into reverse. Unable to shift into higher gears. Had contacted a dealership.

No summary listed for above vehicle.

Mechanic expressed that the auto's mileage was very low to have this kind of problem, and feels strongly that this hose must be defective.

Transmission dipstick tube and dipstick have rusted. Am afraid that this is beginning of a serious transmission problem. Nothing else in the engine compartment is rusty and vehicle has been rustproofed. Problem may be internal.

Transmission tube and dip stick were rusted and fine sediment was in the transmission fluid. This part should be improved by general motors and a recall initated on their part the repair cost of each failure is 750. 00 to 800. 00. I have noticed multiple complaints about Blazer and other Chevrolet/GMC transmissions.

Complete dealer dissatisfaction & incompetence with a "they all do that" answer!!!. No safety defect listed in summary.

We are about to put a fourth transmission into this vehicle. It has been very frustrating having this car.

Transmission is defective, it takes more clicks to get to drive then it would in any other vehicle.

Had taken vehicle to transmission specialist due to transmission not shifting properly. Mechanic indicated that it was a design flaw that causing poor shifting problem.

Rusted dipstick filler tube damaged transmission.

Transmission clutch wear /dipstick tube rust abrasives.

Transmission gets water in it and keeps rusting. Contacted dealer, and dealer is not willing to do anything.

Transmission tube and dip stick were rusted and fine sediment was in the transmission fluid. Massey flushed the system 07/23/1999 @23780 miles. I have noticed multiple complaints about Blazer and other Chevrolet/GMC transmission. My brother had his 1997 GMC van transmission redone but it was just inside warranty. At 40820 and 2 months outside of 3 year warrantly there should be a warning that the car would self destruct at 3 year or 36,000!.

While driving vehicle will come out of gear and drop into neutral for no reason. Dealer/mechanic states that this is a computer malfunction. This occurs at any speed. Please provide any additional information.
