Summary

New 2020 Chevy Blazer AWD Premier with OEM Continental CrossContact LX Sport tires in size 265/45R21. Car has 18,000 miles on it and tires have been rotated and inflated correctly. All 4 tires have tread depth near 2/32 and need to be replaced per tire shop. Come to find out this Continental brand of tires has no treadlife warranty at all so they don't even believe in their product. How can Chevy and Continental be allowed to put this tire on new cars to rip off the consumer. I'm going to have to buy 4 new tires on a car that has 18,000 miles on it. This should not be happening. It's also a safety concern for others on the road that aren't aware they need to check their tire tread depth so soon with these tires.

Summary

WITH APPROXIMATELY 1500 MILES ON THE VEHICLE, THE BLAZER'S AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FAILED WHILE DRIVING. I WAS STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT. WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN, I PROCEEDED SLOWLY THROUGH THE INTERSECTION IN A LEFT TURN. AS SOON AS I LEFT THE INTERSECTION, JUST AS THE VEHICLE WOULD TYPICALLY UP-SHIFT, THE RPM SPIKED, THE VEHICLE JOLTED FORWARD, AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. AFTER THE INITIAL JOLT, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF FIRST GEAR. I FOUND A SAFE PLACE TO PARK AND STOPPED THE ENGINE. UPON RESTARTING, THE ENGINE LIGHT REMAINED ON AND, THOUGH I COULD PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF FIRST GEAR. MOREOVER, WHEN I TRIED TO ENGAGE REVERSE, THE CAR REMAINED IN NEUTRAL. I HAD IT TOWED TO A CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP WHICH INFORMED ME GM HAS A BULLETIN ON THE TRANSMISSION REQUIRING TECHNICIANS NOT TO ATTEMPT TO REPAIR IT, BUT TO INSTALL A NEW TRANSMISSION.
