AFTER STARTING MY 2002 4WD TRAILBLAZER (38025 MILES) IT WOULD NOT GO INTO REVERSE. IT WILL GO FORWARD WITH SEVERE DIFFICULTY GETTING OUT OF FIRST GEAR. MECHANIC SAYS TRANSMISSION IS SHOT. I DID NOT GET THE EXTENDED WARANTY BUT I CALLED CHEVEROLET FOR ASSISTANCE TO SEE IF THEY WOULD HELP. CHEVY SAID TO TAKE IT DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS, HAVE THEM FIX IT AND THEN THEY WOULD DECIDE IF THEY WOULD HELP. MY CHEVY DEALER SAID IT WOULD BE AT LEAST $300 TO DIAGNOSE. IF IT NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION IT WOULD THEN COST $2500 FOR THE TRANSMISSION AND $900 TO PUT IT IN. CHEVY WANTS ME TO DO ALL OF THIS BEFORE THEY WILL DECIDE TO HELP OR NOT, BS. DEALER ALSO TOLD ME THE BEST HE HAD EVER SEEN CHEVY DO FOR SOMEONE THAT WAS OUT OF MANUFACTURERS WARRANTY WAS TO PAY HALF, AND THAT HE SAID IS EXTREMELY RARE.*AK

WHILE DRIVING ANY SPEED THE REAR WINDSHIELD WIPERS WOULD TURN ON. DEALERSHIP WAS NOTIFIED, BUT DID NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. *AK

REAR WINDOW OF OUR 2002 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER EXPLODED IN MY GARAGE. THERE WAS NO PRIOR DAMAGE TO THE WINDOW AND THE FAILURE WAS WITHOUT WARNING. VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN GARAGE NIGHT BEFORE AND GARAGE DOOR SHUT WITH NO INCIDENT. UPON ENTERING GARAGE NEXT MORNING, SHATTERED GLASS WAS FOUND ALL OVER THE FLOOR AND REAR WINDOW BLOWN OUT. *AK

WHILE DRIVING CONSUMER FOUND THAT THERE WAS A HOLE IN THE REAR AXLE DIFFERENTIAL AND AS A RESULT THE VEHICLE COULD NOT BE DRIVEN. THIS VEHICLE HAD ONE PROBLEM AFTER ANOTHER. HOWEVER, ON NOVEMBER 25, 2004 WHILE CONSUMER WAS DRIVING HEARD A VERY LOUD NOISE. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO DEALER, AND WAS TOLD THAT THIS TIME IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION TRANSFER CASE MODULE. *AK
