Automatic Transmission problems of the 2005 Chevrolet Trailblazer

While on the highway to florida from ohio I felt a budge and then heard the vehicle sound like it was down shifting and the rpms were high. I pulled off the side of the highway and headed back home doing 40 mph since the vehicle would not shift past 2nd gear. Also the vehicle shifted gears harshly. Took the vehicle to the dealership and they had informed me that I needed a new transmission. I have read hundreds of other complaints on the this same subject. I am assuming that most people don't know where to report such incidents.

I have a 2005 Chevrolet Trailblazer with 75,000 miles on it. With no warning, my transmission went out. The car is well cared for and regularly serviced. Our local dealership explained that I had no power train warranty, and that they do not repair the transmission. The cost to me for a new transmission would be $2720. 31. Updated 10/27/10.

Went to dealer for vehicle inspection and oil change on my 2005 Chevrolet Trailblazer. Was told that the sensors are indicating that there is moisture getting into my transmission due to a issue with the dip stick not sealing properly. Was told it would cost $192. 00 (parts and labor) to repair. That it is not covered under warranty. However, I was told that if my transmission did go out due to this problem, and my vehicle was still under the warranty, that the warranty would cover a new transmission. Doesn't make sense that if there is a defect in such a minor part as the dip stick seal, why the warranty wouldn't cover the repair.

Automatic transmission dipstick rusted off at the top. Rusting inside a transmission is a concern for the overall life of the transmission.

Transmission line leak. Passenger side fender well. Corrosion on 1 line.

The transmission was faulty after only 94,000 miles. The transmission had no prior problems or repairs.

Transmission started acting up about 2 weeks ago at right around 47,000 miles. It's gotten to where I cannot go more than 45 miles an hour or so and it takes me 5 minutes to accelerate to that point. I am taking it to the dealership, even though my warranty is expired by 11,000 miles, and one month!.

I parked a 2005 chevy Trailblazer rented from budget rent a car in the hotel parking lot where myself and my fiance were checking in to. I removed the key from the ignition and went inside. Approximately 30 sec later the car rolled down the hill in a large arc (due to the steering wheel being locked) and collided with another vehicle. The car was in neutral. At that point I put the key back into the ignition and found that the key could be removed while in neutral, which caused the car to roll. The police arrived and also were able to remove the key while it was in neutral. This is included in the police report. I was not cited since the police officer found the car to be defective. Budget rent a car replaced the vehicle without question, however are now seeking me to pay for the damage, which is obviously being contested.

I bought this SUV to go off road, mostly riding in the sand on the beach. The first time on the sand it did not want to go and I thought my husband or I did something wrong. However the second time it went a short distance and then sank up to the axles and we had to have it towed off the beach. It was taken to the dealership and they could find nothing wrong with it, and acted like this was the first complaint on this problem, however my accountant has the same SUV same year model and same problem, took it to the same dealership and was also told there was nothing wrong with his Trailblazer.

Brand new 2005 Chevrolet Trailblazer transmission wont downshift back into low gear upon coming to a stop. Dealer said they fixed the problem the first time it happened (at 600 miles) by replacing a sensor. It has just now started happening again (at 2,100 miles).

I bought a 05 tb-ext last June, I no sooner got 5 miles down the highway (8 mile total on od) when I started to feel something funny, I was pushing on the gas, but it was loosing speed traffic was backing up behind me as I pulled off the road. I had it towed to back to the dealership where I was assured that it was a tranny line that was not properly secured at the factory. Now 3 months later, (5300 total on od) my kids and I were driving on the freeway yesterday at 65 mph when the rpm's shot up to 4500-5000, and it was loosing speed. There was not any warning signs going off. I was in the middle lane of a 5 lane freeway (I-580 west) I pulled over on the shoulder and checked the fluid level, it was fine. I put the car in drive I started to get back on to the freeway, 1st and 2nd engaged just fine, but as soon as I got up to around 35 mph the rpm shot up again and it would not shift to third. I had to use the on star for the second time in 3 months to have it towed.
