1 Engine Oil Leaking problem

Failure Date: 07/22/2013

I was driving my 2007 Trailblazer home after a 150 mile trip to columbus and noticed oil spots on my driveway. I moved and parked the vehicle in another location where a large puddle of "oil. " fell under the engine. I climbed underneath and saw transmission fluid dripping from the frame onto the ground. I called graham Chevrolet and was told not to drive as it would cause severe damage to the transmission resulting in a costly repair or replacement. I called aaa and had the vehicle towed on a flatbed truck to graham Chevrolet where they replaced the corroded and leaking transmission lines with a bill of over $500. 00 for the work done. They said gm knows of the problem and it is common to theses vehicles, but no recall or warranty repair was authorized. It was the customers problem to take care of. I have since found others with the same issue and also did an internet search showing many Trailblazers with this problem. My complaint is that the vehicle was designed and built with a defective transmission cooler line material subject to corrosion and failure over time. Gm and Chevrolet should be responsible for this repair and issue a callback to prevent any potential accidents or injuries due to this failure.
