Consumer Description

DRIVING AT POSTED 55 MPH OUR 2002 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER WITH 50,000 MILES ON IT STARTED TO BLOW SMOKE BEHIND IT. BEFORE WE COULD PULL OFF THE ROAD SAFELY, THE ENGINE RPM WENT CRAZY AND THE TRANSMISSION STOPPED WORKING. IT WAS LATER FOUND THAT THE TRANSMISSION COOLER LINE FAILED DUE TO CORROSION AND SPRAYED OIL ON THE EXHAUST SYSTEM RESONATOR. ON CAREFUL INSPECTION, THE TRANS COOLER LINES ARE CORRODED IN MANY PLACES. THE LINES ARE SO CLOSE TO THE EXHAUST SYSTEM THAT AN INSULATION MATERIAL HAD BEEN PLACED OVER THE LINES AND MAY HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO HOLDING MOISTURE AND ACCELERATING THE RUST THROUGH. I AM WAITING FOR NEW LINES AND DO NOT KNOW IF THE TRANSMISSION IS DESTROYED. *TR
