Consumer Description

WE WERE DRIVING OUR 2002 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER TO THE LOCAL MALL AND UPON SPEEDING UP TO 35 MPH AND CHANGING TO FASTER LANE, TRANSMISSION GAVE WAY AND VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY DECELERATED WHILE TRAFFIC BEHIND US WAS APPROACHING. A BIT OF A SCARY MOMENT, BUT THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT. THERE WAS NO WARNING THAT THIS WAS ABOUT TO HAPPEN, AND I HAD MY WIFE AND THREE-YEAR-OLD IN THE VEHICLE. THE TRANSMISSION WAS COMPLETELY WRECKED ON A VEHICLE THAT IS WELL MAINTAINED AND ONLY HAS ABOUT 62,000 MILES ON IT. AFTER READING ON THE INTERNET THIS SEEMS TO BE A WELL DOCUMENTED PROBLEM, BUT I ALSO BELIEVE A SAFETY ISSUE, AND GM HAS NEVER RECALLED THESE TRANSMISSIONS TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE. *TR
