NHTSA Complaint #10298817 — 2002 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER

MY COMPLAINT IS ABOUT MY 2002 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER.ON THE FRONT RIGHT (PASSENGER SIDE) OF THE VEHICLE.WHENEVER I HIT A BUMP THERE IS AN ALMOST UNCONTROLLABLE VIBRATION.I HAVE TO BRING THE VEHICLE TO A COMPLETE STOP TO MAKE IT STOP. THIS STARTED ABOUT TWO MONTHS AGO AND IS GRADUALLY GETTING WORSE.I TOOK IT TO A NUMBER OF SHOPS AND THEY'RE ALL TELLING ME THE SAME THING.TRANSFER CASE.THE CHEAPEST ESTIMATE IS ABOUT $1300 , AND THAT IS FOR A USED TRANSFER CASE.I LOVE THIS TRUCK AND I REALLY HAVE NOT HAD ANY PROBLEMS UNTIL RECENTLY.THEN I STARTED TO READ REVIEWS AND REALIZED THAT I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE HAVING THIS PROBLEM.I TAKE VERY GOOD CARE OF MY VEHICLES BECAUSE I CAN'T AFFORD TO KEEP BUYING NEW VEHICLES ALL THE TIME,OR VERY COSTLY REPAIRS. JUST ABOUT EVERY VEHICLE THAT I'VE OWNED HAS BEEN 4 WHEEL DRIVE AND I'VE NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM BEFORE ,EVEN ON TRUCKS WITH TWICE AS MANY MILES. I AM HOPING THAT THERE IS SOMETHING THAT CAN BE DONE THAT MAY HELP ME WITH THIS PROBLEM .I REALLY CAN'T AFFORD A NEW TRUCK AND I DON'T WANT TO REPAIR IT WITH USED PARTS .BY THE WAY,THE COST OF REPAIR WITH NEW PARTS IS ROUGHLY AROUND $2900 . *TR
