1. Other than several recalls for a faulty tail light, which still does not work properly on 2002 Trailblazer did not have any major problems prior to the incident on September 10, 2005. 1. While driving home on about the evening of September 10, 2005 my 2002 Chevrolet Trailblazer with 47,427 miles suddenly groaned loudly and rapidly decelerated approximately 1/4 mile from my house. I was able to get home at a speed of about five mph. When I arrived home I contacted my mechanic who said it sounded like a transmission problem. My mechanic looked at the vehicle and told me it was the transmission which he was unable to repair. He suggested I contact my dealer as he felt the vehicle did not have high enough mileage to warrant tranmission failure. I contacted tillery Chevrolet in moriarty, nm where I purchased the vehicle and spoke with mr. Glen tillery. He asked if I had purchased the extended warranty package. Upon hearing I did not purchase the extended warranty package mr. Tillery gave me the approximate price for his dealership to repair my vehicle. I felt his price was high and the dealership is located approximately 50 miles from my house which was too far to drive my vehicle in its condition. I received recommendations from other people and took my Trailblazer to budget transmission in albuquerque, nm. Budget looked at the transmission and stated it needed to be replaced which I authorized. When I picked up my vehicle the technician informed me my transmission failure was due to a faulty sunshell. The price to repair the vehicle was $1,813. 68 3. The repairs included a rebuilt transmission and torque converter. The original parts are not available.

Right rear tail light does not work when brake is applied. Have had this problem for several months, almost a year. I have changed the brake lights several times and the tail light still will not work.
Intermittently tail lights malfunctioned this was due to a socket wire short that blew out the bulb . Bulb was replaced 3 times before the dealership replaced the tail light assembly.
