2002 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER Complaints

I PURCHASED A 2002 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER THE TRANSMISSION WENT OUT AT 15053 MILES WITH PREVIOUS OWNER 2-3 SHIFT SOLENOID IN TRANSMISSION REPLACED. THE TRANSMISSION WENT OUT WITH ME AT 33431 MILES, STILL UNDER FACTORY WARRANTY. DEALERSHIP FOUND SHELL STRIPPED OUT REACTION CARRIER TEETH BROKE REPLACED ALL CLUTCHES REPLACED 2/4 BAND. AT 83029 MILES TRANSMISSION WENT OUT WITH ME AGAIN. VEHICLE IS NOW OUT OF WARRANTY. DEALERSHIP FOUND REACTION SUN GEAR STRIPPED INSIDE REACTION SUN SHELL. REPLACED SUN GEAR AND SHELL & O/H TRANSMISSION. I CALLED GM CUSTOMER SERVICE AND ASKED THEM TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION BECAUSE I FELT SOMETHING WAS CAUSING THESE PARTS TO KEEP GOING BAD AND THIS IS THE 3RD TIME. I FELT THERE COULD BE ONE PART THAT CAME FROM THE FACTORY IN THIS TRANSMISSION AS A DEFECT. GM AGREED TO PAY PARTS IF I PAID LABOR TO REPLACE PARTS NOT REPLACE COMPLETE TRANSMISSION. THIS COST ME $840.00. NOW IT IS 119000 MILES AND TRANSMISSION GONE AGAIN. I CALLED GM TO EXPLAIN TO THEM THAT THIS IS THE 4TH TIME AND I REQUESTED A NEW TRANSMISSION AND A REFUND OF MY $840.00 FROM LAST TIME BECAUSE FOR SOME REASON THIS TRANSMISSION HAS A PATTERN OF GOING OUT AT APPROXIMATELY EVERY 30 TO 40000 MILES. GM WOULD NOT ASSIST ME WITH ANY ASSISTANCE. THE DIAGNOSTIC THIS TIME SHOWS WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF 1ST BUT TO DETERMINE WHAT PARTS WERE BAD IT WOULD HAVE TO BE BROKEN DOWN. I WAS HOPING GM WOULD ASSIST ME IN THIS MATTER BUT I SEEM TO GET NO WHERE. I HOPE YOU CAN HELP! *TR

LOUD NOISE IN TRANSMISSION THIS AFTER 30,000 MILES ON A TOTALLY REBUILT TRANSMISSION OF MY 2002 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER.

PULLING ONTO THE HIGHWAY, WHEN TRANSMISSION POPPED AND BEGAN TO WHINE. REVERSE GEAR LOST AND STUCK IN 1ST GEAR. TOOK TO DEALER WHERE DIAGNOSIS WAS FAILED (STRIPPED) REACTION SUN SHELL. FORTUNATELY VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING AT LOW SPEED. CONCERNED THAT FAILURE COULD HAVE OCCURRED ON THE HIGHWAY AT GREATER SPEED. THIS VEHICLE WAS NEVER USED FOR TOWING OR SUBJECTED TO ANY ABUSE WHATSOEVER. THIS IS A COMMON FAILURE IN THE 2002 MODELS BUILT DURING A CERTAIN TIME PERIOD. DEALER GAVE SOME COST CONCESSION ON TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT, BUT UNWILLING TO ADMIT COMPONENT WEAKNESS. CALLED GM CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE LINE WITH NO ADDITIONAL SUPPORT. *TR
