Consumer Description

VEHICLE DESCRIBED IN THIS COMPLAINT APPEARS TO HAVE A FLAW IN THE DESIGN OF TRANSMISSION. IN ADDITION TO WHAT IS INCLUDED IN THIS REPORT, I ALSO HAD A PROBLEM AT 28,000 MILES WHERE THEY "REPAIRED" THE TRANSMISSION WHILE IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY. IN BOTH CASES THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT GO IN REVERSE, THE 4X4 WOULD NOT WORK, AND CERTAIN GEARS FAILED. I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO NOTE THAT THIS APPEARS TO BE A WIDE SPREAD PROBLEM. I WOULD SUPPORT THIS NOTION BY THE COUNTLESS TRANMISSION COMPLAINTS (FOR THE EXACT SAME YEAR AND MAKE OR OTHER VEHICLES THAT MOST LIKELY USE THE SAME TRANSMISSION IE THE BLAZER) NOTED ON THE TOD COMPLAINT WEB SITE FOR GENERAL MOTORS, WHICH IS WHERE I FOUND A LINK TO THIS SITE.*AK
