Five problems related to transmission gear slipping have been reported for the 2004 Chevrolet Trailblazer. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Automatic transmission slips when it tries to shift into 3rd or 4th gear, I read that there was a report on this happening but there was not a recall as far as I know, I recently purchased this vehicle from the original owner who says they never received any paper work from gm about doing repairs. My question is will gm repair this condition at no cost to me?.
The contact owns a 2004 Chevrolet Trailblazer. The contact took the vehicle to midas for preventive maintenance. The transmission was flushed and the oil was replaced with a life x-tend oil, which caused the transmission to slip and make a loud noise when shifitng into reverse or drive. The dealer stated that the bearing failed. The contact feels that the oil that was placed in the transmission revealed that the transmission had previous failures. A report was filed with the manufacturer. The manufacturer stated that they will investigate the failure. The x-tend oil manufacturer stated that they would pay for the repair if it is proven that the oil was the cause for the transmission failure. The current and failure mileages were 102,000.
Transmission slipping between 3rd and 4th gear. Engine revs in neutral, then transmission would re-engage. Failure would occur everytime vehicle was driven. Repaired by complete transmission rebuild.
