Default 02 Trailblazer Transmission failed "SUN SHELL" recall

Following is posted to another siteand the primary thread will be located here:[/align]I suggest posting your problems and comments at the followingsite as to keep at a common location.[/align]http://forums.trailvoy.com/showthread.php?t=17736[/align][/align][/align][/align]This is lengthy but hopefully worth the time. It’s time to force a recall since GM isn’t going to step up to the plate. My last GM purchase has been made, however I want reimbursed and ensure the safety of other Trailblazer owners!!!!!

Summary:
-2002 Trailblazer LT 2WD
-Transmission failure at 78,000 miles
-Near accident with two children in car ages 2 and 7
-Major repair cost
-Significant safety problem
-Multiple listings of identical failures (sun shell/ reaction gear) planetary system.
-Reportedly known defective and (under designed) part. This will be the NHTSA’s responsibility to investigate and sort out.
-Some reports of “silent recall” however never acknowledged with my conversations
-No warning of oncoming failure
-Owners manual doesn’t recommend any transmission service until 100,000 miles
-Never towed anything
-Wife driven/ garage kept [/align][/align]See the rest at:[/align]http://forums.trailvoy.com/showthread.php?t=17736
