Transmission Failure Problems of Chevrolet Trailblazer - part 2

Traveling up a draw bridge at 50 miles per hour the transmission quit completely, the engine would rev up but no drive from the transmission. Fortunately, no one rear ended the vehicle as we slowed down and barely made it over the top of the bridge and then coasted down enough to get off of the bridge. The vehicle was towed to a dealer and they determined that the transmission must be completely replaced at my cost. The vehicle has 64,000 miles, too few for a transmission failure.

While driving across the williamsburg bridge I suddenly lost the ability to accelerate. The rpm gauge shot to the high end and I had to coast the vehicle off of the bridge. I was towed to the dealership who without looking at it, knew immediately that the transmission had failed. I asked the service technician was this a common problem and he pointed me to edmunds. Com to show how many posts there were concerning this problem. The dealership "overhauled" the transmission and told me I should consider a transmission cooler. I've never towed anything with the vehicle and am concerned that I am about to experience the same problem, except this time my warranty is expired.

Transmission just failed on our 03 tblazer because of the sun shell spline. Tires had to be replaced at only 45,000 miles (normal driving conditions).

Transmission failed - dealer said probably due to the sun shell. When given the option to rebuild or replace I took replacement due to cost and warranty. Cost me $3,000 for replacement.

2002 Chevrolet Trailblazer - at 60,000 miles the transmission failed, I. E. No reverse, and only first and second gear. Dealer diagnosed as a broken reaction shell. They replace the reaction shell and overhauled the transmission. At 69,000 miles had exactly the same symptoms. Dealer diagnosed as broken reaction internal gear caused by owner rocking car to get unstuck. Therefore the warranty from the first failure was no good. G. M. Told owner that they would replace trans as a courtesy if owner paid $500 deductible .

I have a 2002 Trailblazer. The transmission was reprogrammed twice in 2002. Last month the transmission failed as I exited the off ramp of a highway. The vehicle was towed to the closest Chevrolet dealership. They called me a day later and said the sun shield had fallen apart and there were fragments of the transmission all over the place. This vehicle is out of warranty as it has 77,000 miles on it. The dealership said it cost 3,000 to fix the transmission and is willing to submit 1,500 for reimbursement to gm. This stinks as a transmission should last a lot longer than this and it certainly does not make anyone want to go buy a car from Chevrolet.

I have 2 Chevrolet Trailblazers and the transmission has failed in both in the same way (broken sun shell). My research shows this is a very common problem and was fixed by gm starting in 2003.

The incident occurred while driving home after dropping my son off at work on I-95. I was traveling between 65 and 70 mph and passing a semi when my vehicle suddenly and with no prior warning shifted into second gear. Luckily I was able to maintain control of my car and able to drive it the rest of the way home. On Monday I drove my vehicle as instructed to the mj sullivans, the dealership in which I bought the Trailblazer, for service. I was then notified that the stator support bushings in the transmission failed and that it would actually be cheaper to replace the transmission. Interestingly, the new transmission comes with a 10yr/100k mile warranty and my vehicle has only 69000 miles of highway miles. Asked the service engineer about how unusual this type of failure is and they told me highly considering the wear on other parts in the transmission. We do not tow or have hills in our area and for the most part only travel on the highway so I would not suspect that we would be putting a high level of wear and tear on it. We had the transmission replaced.

(1) no events leading up to failure (2) transmission failed at 44,000 miles, first time; failed at 99,000 miles, second time (3) had transmission rebuilt, first time; not repaired yet, second time.

Vehicle was not shifting properly transmission failure ( sun shell spleen the works). Had an inspection and had to have new sun shell spleen, reconditioning of transmission. $ 3000. 00 to fix, I see many complaints on the 2002 Trailblazer. This should be looked into, I called the manufacturer to tell them about the failure and they e-mailed me and thank me for the e-mail. My vehicle only had 49,665 mileage. I should have saved the parts they were in very bad shape. This failure was without any notice.

My wife was driving her 2002 Chevrolet Trailblazer when the transmission catastrophically failed. The vehicle was towed to a dealer, and the diagnosis was "sun shell spline failure" in the transmission.

My vehicle is a 2002 Chevrolet trail blazer of which I purchased new. Since day one the vehicle has been plagued with a multitude of problems. It has had an engine replacement, clutch fan ($620. 00), tail lights, hvac controls $(200), exhaust manifold, recall items and now finally a transmission failure where the sun shell/gear let go costing me ($1858. 03). Fast forward to today just 3 months after the transmission was "completely overhauled), the valve body id failing where the dealer has told me that "is not part of the 12 month, 12,000 warranty on the transmission. ".

2003 Chevrolet Trailblazer transmission failure (at 75,000 miles) on highway $2000 repair required - full transmission overhaul.

Transmission failture.

Transmission failed due to band failure for the third and forth gears, completely burn up. Contacted Chevrolet. Dealer stated that they did have transmission problems. . . . . .

At approx. 50,000 miles I had total transmission failure in my 2000 Chevrolet Trailblazer. This vehicle was used under normal conditions. The result was a replacement of the transmission (gm rebuild) installed at a dealer for cost of approx. $1800. 00 which was unacceptable that I had to pay anything in my opinion, even though the vehicle was out of warranty. I have spoken with other owners who experienced the same issue.
