| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: The incident occurred while driving home after dropping my son off at work on i-95. i was traveling between 65 and 70 mph and passing a semi when my vehicle suddenly and with no prior warning shifted into second gear. luckily i was able to maintain control of my car and able to drive it the rest of the way home. on monday i drove my vehicle as instructed to the mj sullivans, the dealership in which i bought the trailblazer, for service. i was then notified that the stator support bushings in the transmission failed and that it would actually be cheaper to replace the transmission. interestingly, the new transmission comes with a 10yr/100k mile warranty and my vehicle has only 69000 miles of highway miles. asked the service engineer about how unusual this type of failure is and they told me highly considering the wear on other parts in the transmission. we do not tow or have hills in our area and for the most part only travel on the highway so i would not suspect that we would be putting a high level of wear and tear on it. we had the transmission replaced. *jb |
