Two problems related to driveshaft have been reported for the 2002 Chevrolet Trailblazer. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
I own a 2002 chevy Trailblazer and have had nothing but problems with it since it was bought. It's been in the shop a total of 7 times. Three of the times it has been in the shop with drive train problems, two times for u-joints and once for a bearing to the driveshaft. Another two times the vehicle just stopped and the transmission could not be shifted into gear. Now after 43,000 miles the transmission failed and would not go into reverse and since the warranty is only for 36,000 miles it is now going to cost $2800. 00 to repair it. I feel that a transmission in a car that is only a year and a half old should not have failed since all the maintenance since the car was bought was done at the dealership. I have also never received and of the recall notices I have read about on this vehicle. The bottom line is a transmission should last a little longer than 43,000 miles.
Consumer was involved in a frontal and side collision while traveling approximately 60 mph. Upon impact, the entire gear shaft came up out of the floorboard.
