Consumer Description

WITH NO PRIOR WARNING OF DEFECT, MY 2002 TRAILBLAZER WOULD NOT ACCELERATE WHILE TRYING TO MERGE INTO HIGHWAY TRAFFIC. AFTER INITIAL LOOK THROUGH FOR ANY OBVIOUS SIGNS OF WHAT MAY BE WRONG, I WAS UNABLE TO DRIVE MY CAR AND HAD IT TOWED TO NEAREST DEALERSHIP WHERE A TRANSMISSION FAILURE WAS QUICKLY DIAGNOSED AND I WAS QUOTED A REPAIR COST OF JUST UNDER $5,000 !!! MY WIFE AND I THINK THIS IS PRETTY ODD CONSIDERING THE REGULAR MAINTENANCE AND ABSENCE OF SIGNS OF TROUBLE, SO WE RESEARCHED THE INTERNET ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS (PARTICULARLY ON 2002 TRAILBLAZER) ARE VERY COMMON. IT IS BELIEVED THAT GENERAL MOTORS IS VERY MUCH AWARE OF THIS AND THE PHRASE "SILENT RECALL" KEPT COMING UP. *TR
