NHTSA Complaint #10443780 — 2006 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER

WITHOUT WARNING CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE WHEN APPLYING PRESSURE TO GAS PEDAL, THE MOTOR WOULD JUST REV UP. I HAD TO SHIFT AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION INTO LOWER GEAR TO GET IT TO GO. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE TO DEALERSHIP BY MANUALLY SHIFTING TRANSMISSION. SERVICE DEPARTMENT INFORM ME THAT TRANSMISSION WAS SHOT AND WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED FOR ABOUT $3,000.00 DOLLARS. MY 2006 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER HAS ALWAYS BEEN SERVICE AT THE SAME DEALERSHIP AND ONLY HAS 28,783 MILES ON THE ODOMETER; I DID NOT THINK THAT THE TRANSMISSION WOULD FAIL WITH SUCH LOW MILEAGE. GM DID SAY THAT THEY WOULD COVER THE PARTS BUT I WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE TO PAY FOR LABOR. I REALIZED THAT CHEVY DID NOT OFFER 100,000 MILE POWER TRAIN WARRANTIES ON TRAILBLAZERS UNTIL 2007 BUT I BELIEVE THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS DEFECTIVE FROM THE START AND CHEVY SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE TO COVER REPLACEMENT COST. *TR
