1995 CHEVROLET BLAZER Power Trainautomatic Transmission Problems

I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE NEW IN 95, WITHIN THE FIRST TWO YEARS THE TRANSMISSION WENT OUT ON A CROSS COUNTRY TRIP IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE OVER A WEEKEND NO LESS. I HAD TO WAIT TILL MONDAY FOR THE DEALERSHIP TO OPEN. I WAS TOLD THAT THE VACUUM SEAL FOR THE REVERSE CASING WAS THROWN INTO THE OTHER GEARS LEAVING ME ONLY WITH 1ST & I WAS ON AN INTERSTATE IN THE MIDDLE OF A TUNNEL UNDER THE BAY WHEN IT WENT OUT, NOT A GOOD PLACE TO BE. I HAVE SINCE REBUILT THE TRANMISSION AGAIN. YES 2 TRANSMISSONS. I HAVE HAD 2 EGR VALVES GO OUT A FEW HUNDRED $ EACH TIME. THE TRANSMISSON MOUNTS AND MOTOR MOUNTS HAVE BUSTED (MAYBE DUE TO A CAR WRECK BUT NOT SURE). I HAVE ALSO HAD TO REPLACE THE COMBO SWITCH (FOR HAZARDS, GEAR SHIFT, BLINKERS AND WIPERS) TWICE AND NOW HAVE...

ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS WHEN WE WERE COMING TO A STOP AT A LIGHT ---- AS WE PRESSED ON THE BRAKE PEDAL THE ENGINE REVVED UP TO APPROXIMATELY 2500 RPM. THIS MADE STOPPING THE VEHICLE A LOT MORE DIFFICULT & COULD FEEL THE ANTI-LOCK BREAKS WORKING TO STOP THE CAR. LUCKILY, THERE WAS NEVER A VEHICLE IN FRONT OF US IN EACH OF THE INSTANCES ---- BUT WE'RE NOT SURE IF THIS COULD EVENTUALLY LEAD TO A FUTURE ACCIDENT. MY CONFIDENCE WITH THE DEALERSHIPS IS NOT VERY HIGH IN DIAGNOSING THIS PROBLEM IF THEY CAN'T RE-CREATE IT OR IF IT DIDN'T SENT A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CODE. THEY WOULD JUST CHARGE ME FOR THEIR DIAGNOSTIC EFFORTS. NOTE: I ALSO RECENTLY HAS HIGH REVVING PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE WITHIN THE LAST FEW MONTHS, BUT THEY WERE AT START-UP & IT SENT A TROUBLE CODE. AFTER THREE TRIPS TO THE DEALERSHIP WITH...

4 EGR VALVES (AND I HAVE GOT TO PUT THE 5TH ONE ON NOW) IN THE LAST 3 YEARS $200.00 EACH. 2 CMFI UNITS BECAUSE OF THE FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR LEAKING THE WHOLE UNIT HAS TO BE REPLACED $500.00 EACH. FUEL PUMPS $80.00 EACH TRANSMISSION HAS SLIPPED AT DIFFERENT TIMES. COOLING IS A PROBLEM IT HAS NEVER OVERHEATED BUT IT WOULD LIKE TO IN THE SUMMER. I AM A MECHANIC AND ALL OF MY CARS ARE TAKEN CARE OF TO THE SLIGHTEST DETAIL BUT IT IS NOT NORMAL TO REPLACE THIS STUFF MORE THAN A COUPLE OF TIMES IN THE LIFE OF A CAR MUCH LESS A COUPLE OF TIMES A YEAR. *JB

RUSTY TRANSMISSION FLUID LEVEL INDICATOR/OIL FILLER TUBE AS PER CHEVROLET SERVICE BULLETIN ID #594999. CHEVROLET WILL NOT REPLACE EVEN THO' IT IS A LATENT DEFECT. WHY? TRANSMISSION FAILURE COULD OCCUR AT ANY TIME.*AK

VEHICLE IS ONLY ABLE TO HOLD 2ND GEAR UP TO 30 MPH BEFORE IT SLIPS OUT ,CAUSING THE SPEEDOMETER TO DROP TO 10 AND THE ABS LIGHT TO ACTIVATE

TRANSMISSION FAILED DUE TO DIPSTICK TUBE BEING TOO CLOSE TO A/C EVAPORATOR CORE WHICH CAUSES CONDENSATION INSIDE DIPSTICK TUBE. THIS IN TURN CAUSED RUST INSIDE THE TRANSMISSION CAUSING MY TRANSMISSION TO GO OUT. WE HAD TO HAVE TRANSMISSION REBUILT WHICH WAS VERY EXPENSIVE!! MECHANIC SAID HE SEES A LOT OF BLAZER COME IN WITH TRANSMISSION FAILURE DUE TO THE SAME PROBLEM I HAD. I THINK SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS. WHY SHOULD I HAVE TO PAY FOR SOMETHING WHEN THE PROBLEM IS DUE TO POOR DESIGN?!? I'VE SEEN SEVERAL NEW COMMERCIALS FOR CHEVROLET SAY "WE'LL BE THERE" WELL I THINK YOU SHOULD DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM!! IT COST ME A GOOD BIT OF MONEY TO CORRECT THE MISTAKE CHEVROLET MADE. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE.

CONSUMER EXPERIENCING ONGOING PROBLEM WITH TWO TRANSMISSION EXPERIENCING FAILURE. DEALER WAS NOTIFIED AND REFUSD TO REPAIR UNLESS COST GOES TO CONSUMER. *AK

THIS VEHICLE NEEDED 2 TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENTS. WE PURCHASED THE CAR USED WITH 25,000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. WHEN THE TRANSMISSION FAILED AT 73,000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER, THE MECHANIC THAT COMPLETED REPLACING THE TRANSMISSION, INFORMED US THAT THE TRANSMISSION HAD ALREADY BEEN REPLACED ONCE. THE VEHICLE HAS HAD 2 MAJOR TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS, AND THE TRANSMISSIONS SEEMED TO FAIL WITH ONLY 25,000 TO 50,000 MILES ON THEM! ANY HELP WITH THIS MATTER WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED AND I THANK YOU IN ADVANCE. *AK
