NHTSA Complaint #10224456 — 2003 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER

I'D DRIVEN 60 MILES TO DESTINATION. 1/2 HOUR LATER WENT OUT TO TRAILBLAZER. THERE WAS A LARGE PUDDLE OF TRANSMISSION FLUID UNDER THE VEHICLE AND A TRAIL OF DRIPS LEADING UP TO IT. MECHANIC DETERMINED THE LINE RUBBED ON CATALYTIC CONVERTER AND WORE A HOLE IN IT. THE FLUID SPRAYED ALL OVER UNDER THE VEHICLE. HE SAID IT WAS AMAZING THERE WASN'T A FIRE BECAUSE OF HOW FLAMMABLE IT IS AND HOW HOT THE CONVERTER GETS. IT WAS DOWN 4 QUARTS OF FLUID. HE SPLICED OUT THE WORN LINE AND USED A COUPLER TO FIX IT AND MOVE IT AWAY FROM THE CONVERTER. *TR
