AT 40824AMILES THE CAR COULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF FIRST GEER AND THE SERVICE ENGINE SOON CAME ON. I CALLED THE AUTO SHOP AND THEY SAID TO BRING IT IN AND THAT I COULD DRIVE IT UNTIL THE LIGHT FLASHED. I TOOK IT IN AND HAD IT REPAIRED (WHICH I HAVE FOUGHT FOR THE 200.00 DEDUCTABLE) AT THE TIME I QUESTIONED THE FACT THAT A TRANSMISSION COULD GO OUT SO FAST. ( I DO NOT TOW ANYTHING-IT IS A WORK CAR AND TAKE THE KIDS TO SPORTS) TWO MONTHS TO THE DAY, I AM HAVING THE EXACT PROBLEM WITH THE CAR. EVERYONE I TALK WITH THAT HAS A 97 CHEVY BLAZER HAS A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM.

TRANSMISSION WENT AT 72000 MILES .I KNOW THAT WARRANTY EXPIRED,BUT IT SEEMS A NEW TRANSMISSION SHOULD HAVE LASTED LONGER THAN THAT. I HAD TWO REBUILT TRANSMISSIONS PUT IN IN 60 DAYS, AND THE ENGINE CHECK LIGHT STILL COMES ON, AND THE TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE WORKED ON AGAIN. I HAVE HEARD THIS WAS AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH 1997 CHEVY TRUCKS.
