Consumer Description

AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH I AM ENCOUNTERING A PROBLEM THAT SEEMS TO BE OUT THERE A LOT. I HAVE A 2005 TRAILBLAZER AND MY FORWARD GEAR STOPPED WORKING AT 80K MILES. I THINK IS A MUCH TOO NEW CAR TO ENCOUNTER A TRANSMISSION FAILURE. THERE IS OBVIOUSLY A PROBLEM WHEN I HAVE READ PAGES AND PAGES OF THIS SAME ISSUE. GM HAS TO STEP IN AND TELL ME SOMETHING MY DEALER ESTIMATE THIS TO COST ME A MIN. $3,200.00 IN THIS ECONOMY OR ANY THAT IS A LARGE EXPENSE TO ENCOUNTER WITH NO WARNING OR PREVIOUS PROBLEMS. I HOPE THE GM WILL HAVE SOME ANSWERS AND DO THE RIGHT THING! THIS HAPPENED TO ME ON THE VAN WYKE EXPRESSWAY IN RUSH HOUR MANY OF US COULD HAVE BEEN HURT OR KILLED! THANK YOU *TR
