1993 Chevrolet Blazer Transmission Problems

Owner-reported complaints naming the transmission system, filed with NHTSA

Data refreshed

Transmission reportsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

THE VEHICLE MOVED BACKWARD, ON TWO OCCASIONS IN 1999, WHILE RUNNING AND PARKED ON A SLIGHT INCLINE. THE TRANSMISSION WAS FULLY ENGAGED IN PARK ON BOTH OCCASIONS. THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS CONDITION (NHTSA 94V093000), BUT THE RECALL STATES THAT THE S-SERIES TRUCKS ARE EXCLUDED BECAUSE THEY ARE "ONLY 2-WHEEL DRIVE." I HAVE CONTACTED CHEVROLET MOTOR COMPANY AND HHTSA AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT MY VEHICLE IS NOT COVERED, BASED UPON THE VIN. HOWEVER, MY S-SERIES BLAZER IS 4-WHEEL DRIVE, I BELIEVE THAT THE TRANSMISSION FITS THE RECALL DESCRIPTION, AND THE PROBLEM THAT I EXPERIENCED (I.E., THE VEHICLE CAME OUT OF PARK WHILE RUNNING) IS THE CONDITION FOR WHICH THE TRANSMISSION WAS RECALLED. I, THEREFORE, BELEIVE THAT THE STATEMENT EXCLUDING S-SERIES TRUCKS BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT 4-WHEEL DRIVE IS INCORRECT AND NEGLECTS THE OCCURRENCE OF A DANGEROUS CONDITION IN THE S-SERIES VEHICLES LIKE MINE.
