Transmission Stuck In Gear Problems of Chevrolet Trailblazer

This was actually the second or third incident where the key got stuck in the ignition, blazer was in park the lights remained on so did the radio anything that is typically on during aux, but this was the beginning of a long problem that lead to me trading off. . The key gets stuck you can not remove it caused the battery to go bad, it would begin to happen often the service engine soon light would come on, the transmission would not shift above 3rd gear, also shortly after the purchase in sept of 2011 the speedometer stopped working. The blazer died 3 times gauges on dash would periodicly stop working. My service 4 wheel would come on randomly the key issue was the biggest problem but it was only a matter of time before other things went wrong. When the key would get stuck in the igintion as stated the transmission would not shift properly in the beginning the transmission would act out once you took it out of park it was noticeable but as the problem became worse it started happening driving down the highway I noticed once that I have successfully made it through 1-2-3 but never got out of 3. I should state that when the key was stuck I would have to manually shift through the first and second then put it into drive otherwise the car had no power because it would be stuck in the higher gear. Tried to contact the dealership as there was a recall on the dash for the 2003 model and they told us it wasnt a safety problem I do not understand how random loss of power and random car dying is not a safety issue, I have been watching the list of gm recalls and I have not seen much about the Trailblazers, and it bothers me that I am sure there are other issues like the ones that I had. On another note transmission related my neighbors just had to get rid of their Trailblazer 2006 for transmission problems.

I was driving home to texas from a vacation to visit family in oklahoma. All of a sudden without warning vehicle's transmission got stuck in 3rd gear. Then the transmission failed altogether. Vehicle left me stranded in the middle of nowhere with my four children. They are telling me that there are alot of problems with the Trailblazer transmissions.

Pulling onto the highway, when transmission popped and began to whine. Reverse gear lost and stuck in 1st gear. Took to dealer where diagnosis was failed (stripped) reaction sun shell. Fortunately vehicle was traveling at low speed. Concerned that failure could have occurred on the highway at greater speed. This vehicle was never used for towing or subjected to any abuse whatsoever. This is a common failure in the 2002 models built during a certain time period. Dealer gave some cost concession on transmission replacement, but unwilling to admit component weakness. Called gm customer assistance line with no additional support.
