Consumer Description

BOUGHT A 2002 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER FROM A USED CAR DEALERSHIP IN 04/09 AND NOTICED A SMALL PUDDLE OF FLUID ON THE DRIVEWAY. I DID SOME QUICK SEARCHING AND FOUND THAT DUE TO THE LOCATION OF THE OIL FILTER SOME OIL COULD PUDDLE UP ON THE "SKID PLATE" UNDER THE TRUCK WHICH CAN DRIP FOR A FEW DAYS AFTER SO I THOUGHT NOTHING OF IT. LUCKILY I CHECKED THE TRANSMISSION FLUID AFTER MY WIFE MENTIONED THE TRUCK WAS SHIFTING FUNNY. IT WAS 2 QTS LOW AND AFTER FURTHER INVESTIGATION I NOTICED THE TRANSMISSION COOLING LINES ARE SEVERELY CORRODED AND LEAKING. I DID SOME SEARCHING AND NOTICED A TSB FOR THE ISSUE - PIT-4722. CHEVY SHOULD ISSUE A NOTICE TO THE USERS OF THESE VEHICLES AND OFFER TO REPLACE. I DON'T KNOW ABOUT ALL THE OTHER VEHICLES BUT THE TRANSMISSIONS COOLING LINE IS LEAKING RIGHT NEXT TO THE TRAILBLAZERS EXHAUST AND I'M GUESSING THAT IS NOT A VERY SAFE SITUATION. *TR
