2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER EXT 370 Complaints

BRAND NEW 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER TRANSMISSION WONT DOWNSHIFT BACK INTO LOW GEAR UPON COMING TO A STOP. DEALER SAID THEY FIXED THE PROBLEM THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED (AT 600 MILES) BY REPLACING A SENSOR. IT HAS JUST NOW STARTED HAPPENING AGAIN (AT 2,100 MILES). *NM

I BOUGHT A 05 TB-EXT LAST JUNE, I NO SOONER GOT 5 MILES DOWN THE HIGHWAY (8 MILE TOTAL ON OD) WHEN I STARTED TO FEEL SOMETHING FUNNY, I WAS PUSHING ON THE GAS, BUT IT WAS LOOSING SPEED TRAFFIC WAS BACKING UP BEHIND ME AS I PULLED OFF THE ROAD. I HAD IT TOWED TO BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I WAS ASSURED THAT IT WAS A TRANNY LINE THAT WAS NOT PROPERLY SECURED AT THE FACTORY. NOW 3 MONTHS LATER, (5300 TOTAL ON OD) MY KIDS AND I WERE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY YESTERDAY AT 65 MPH WHEN THE RPM'S SHOT UP TO 4500-5000, AND IT WAS LOOSING SPEED. THERE WAS NOT ANY WARNING SIGNS GOING OFF. I WAS IN THE MIDDLE LANE OF A 5 LANE FREEWAY (I-580 WEST) I PULLED OVER ON THE SHOULDER AND CHECKED THE FLUID LEVEL, IT WAS FINE. I PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE I STARTED TO GET BACK ON TO THE FREEWAY, 1ST AND 2ND ENGAGED JUST FINE, BUT AS SOON AS I GOT UP TO AROUND 35 MPH THE RPM SHOT UP AGAIN AND IT WOULD NOT SHIFT TO THIRD. I HAD TO USE THE ON STAR FOR THE SECOND TIME IN 3 MONTHS TO HAVE IT TOWED. *JB

I JUST PURCHASED A 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER IN JANUARY OF THIS YEAR. THE PROBLEM IS THAT THE DRIVER'S SIDE VISOR HAS AN UNCOVERED MIRROR ON IT. WHEN I PULL THE VISOR DOWN TO BLOCK THE SUN, THE MIRROR REFLECTS MY HANDS AND LAP WHICH IS A DISTRACTION WHILE DRIVING. I CALLED THE CUSTOMER SERVICE PERSON AT GENERAL MOTORS (JOOHEE KIM). SHE SAID THAT THERE IS NOTHING THAT COULD BE DONE ABOUT REPLACING THE VISOR WITH ONE WITH NO MIRROR OR ONE WITH A COVERED MIRROR. I LOOKED AT SEVERAL OTHER SUV'S AND TRUCKS AT MY DEALERSHIP AND THE TRAILBLAZER IS THE ONLY ONE WITH AN UNCOVERED MIRROR. I HAVE NEVER OWNED OR SEEN AN AUTOMOBILE WITH AN UNCOVERED MIRROR ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE. I AM VERY CONCEREND ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND BELIEVE THAT IT HAS THE POTENTIAL OF BEING A BIG SAFETY HAZARD.*AK

VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN DRIVER'S SIDE COLLISION. BOTH DOORS ON LEFT SIDE DO NOT OPERATE PROPERLY. REPLACEMENTS PARTS ARE NOT BEING MANUFACTURED. *JB
