TRANSMISSION WILL NOT COME OUT OF LOW GEAR COLD. HAS BEEN IN 4 TIMES FOR WHAT THEY CALL "COMPUTER SOFTWARE UPGRADES" NOW THE TRANSMISSION SLIPS INTO LOW GEAR WHILE SLOWING, THEY TELL ME THIS IS NORMAL. THE CAR HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP 5 TIMES FOR THE ABOVE ISSUE SINCE WE TOOK POSSESION BRAND NEW.

I HAVE HAD THREE TOTAL TRANSMISSION FAILURES. THE FIRST WAS IN DEC, 2002 AT 14,000 MILES. THE SECOND WAS IN DEC 2003 AT 36,000 MILES. THE THIRD WAS JAN 2005 AT 58,000 MILES. EACH TIME THE DEALERSHIP REPAIRED THE CAR BUT CAN NOT DETERMINE THE REASON FOR THE FAILURE. THE LAST FAILURE WAS WITH MY FIVE YEAR OLD GRANDDAUGHTER IN THE CAR AND WE WERE PULLING INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. SINCE THEY HAVE NOT DETERMINED THE ROOT CAUSE OF THE FAILURE I SEE NO REASON TO THINK IT WILL NOT HAPPEN AGAIN. *NM

THE TRANSMISSION ON MY 2002 ENVOY XLT WENT OUT THIS MORNING ON MY WAY TO WORK. I BARELY MISSED HAVING AN ACCIDENT WHILE PASSING A SEMI AND INJURING MYSELF AND OTHERS. THE ENVOY HAS 69,000 MILES ON IT AND THE TRANSMISSION SHOULD HAVE LASTED MUCH LONGER. AFTER EXPLORING SOME WEB SITES (HTTP://TOWNHALL-TALK.EDMUNDS.COM/DIRECT/VIEW/.EF15323) I FOUND THAT OTHER OWNERS OF ENVOYS AND TRAILBLAZERS ALSO EXPERIENCED TRANSMISSION FAILURE. AN IMMEDIATE RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED. COST FOR REPLACING THE TRANSMISSION IS $1,500. WE WERE SO THRILLED WITH THE ENVO…

2002 GMC ENVOY WITH 31,000 MILE EXPERIENCED TRANSMISSION FAILURE (NO REVERSE). THE DEALER SAID THAT IT WAS THE "SUNSHELL" GEAR AND NORMALLY WOULD COST $2300 TO REPAIR, BUT, OUT OF THE GOODNESS OF THEIR HEART THEY WOULD ONLY CHARGE ME A $500 DEDUCTIBLE (I ASSUME IT IS ON SOME TYPE OF WARRANTY THAT THEY HAVE) PLUS FLUIDS, SO MY GRAND TOTAL WOULD ONLY BE AROUND $600. ON THE SURFACE THIS SEEMED LIKE A GOOD DEAL BUT AFTER A LITTLE RESEARCH IT TURNS OUT THERE ARE MANY OTHER ENVOY AND TRAILBLAZER OWNERS WHO HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. IT IS CLEAR THAT …
