Three problems related to transmission failure have been reported for the 1996 Chevrolet S10. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
We do not believe that the power train automatic transmission should have failed at 58788 miles. The vehicle is not used for off road, heavy hauling, or for any other purpose than normal city/highway driving. We paid $1987. 74 for a new automatic transmission and want to know if other Chevrolet S10 blazer owners have had similar problems at low mileage. We would also like to know if any factory/dealer recalls were out there that as an owner we were not notified. We have learned that other S10 blazer owners have experienced auto transmission failure but have no specifics on mileage or circumstances surrounding failure. Please reply at earliest opportunity. Thank you for any help/information you can provide.
The day the transmission failed. We were traveling on the interstate going 70 mph when the truck made a funny sound and then it just locked up . The truck almost swerved off the road before I got control of it. Luckily no one was hurt but it could have been much worse. We would like to know why we were never made aware of the recall on this problem so we could of had this fixed. This problem would of been remied a long time ago and we wouldn't be in this position. We should of been told about this problem so we could of had an opportunity to get this fixed. This could of caused serious injury or possible death. I find this totally disbelievable and now we can't seem to get this matter cleared up. We seem to be getting doors closed in our faces.
