Consumer Description

I STARTED MY TRAILBLAZER AND LET IT WARM FOR A FEW MINUTES. THE TRUCK IDLE WAS LOUDER THEN NORMAL BUT DID NOT KNOCK OR MISS. I PUT THE TRUCK INTO DRIVE AND PULLED OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY. AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE STREET I NOTICED THE RPMS SHOOT UP AND THE TRUCK SLOW, I PULLED OVER AND PUT IT INTO PARK, THE TRUCK IDLED LOUDLY. I PUT THE TRUCK INTO DRIVE AGAIN AND THE RPM WOULD RISE WITH LITTLE POWER TO THE WHEELS. I NURSED IT UP TO HIGHWAY SPEED AND AT HIGHER SPEEDS AROUND 60 THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO NOT BE THERE. THE TRUCK CONTINUES TO DO THIS IN THE LOWER GEARS AND AT LOWER SPEEDS. I NOTICE THE OIL PRESSURE GOES UP WHEN THIS HAPPENS AND I WORRY OF DOING MORE DAMAGE. I HAVE ALREADY HAD A WIPER MODULE REPLACED THAT WAS RECALLED BUT NEVER REPLACED BEFORE THE VEHICLE WAS SOLD TO ME. *TR
