Then they burned a hole about 2" across both turn signal bulbs and even left a large brown burn on the outside of the headlight. Transmission coolers are more efficient when they receive maximum air flow.This car started out with having to change the turn signal & headlight bulbs every 6 weeks. The diagram on the left numbers the best three positions to mount the transmission cooler in order. Select the correct transmission cooler by determining where there is enough space to mount it.
His fuel gauge is also going out, & he has had to replace the power steering pump. 2008.A friend's car (2005 malibu, ls,v6,) his turn signal bulbs cause the same type of problem on his car (bought straight off the lot). 2003 trailblazer heater hose diagram. Is this cost effective to fix?The Trailblazer uses a clutch in the torque converter to lock the engine and transmission together at highway speed. This does not include the power steering pump that goes out of this vehicle at over 70,000 miles at a cost of $750. The cost for the headlights is over $500, the fuel gauge is around $750, and the cost of a new transmission, all with in a year.
The mechanic stated that the transmission would slowly burn out (over months) with little or no fluid in it. He also told me that there was no way this could be from a problem with the car and I had to pay for the new transmission which I later learned was entirely untrue. The diagnosis from Jim Smith�s mechanic was that there was almost no transmission fluid in the car and the gears burnt out. In January 2006, I returned to this dealer because the traction control light came on, the car would inexplicable jump from 5 miles an hour to 40 miles an hour and the engine would rev when I pushed down the accelerator but the car would not speed up. I could not do worse to buy a used piece of junk, it will cost less than fixing my nice looking 2005 malibu!In November 2004 I leased, with the intention of purchasing through a Smartbuy program, a 2005 Chevy Malibu from Jim Smith�s Chevrolet in New York.
At my expense, the car was towed to the nearest dealer, Frank�s Chevrolet in New York. The many times I brought my car in for service and made these complaints I was told that everything was fine.In April 2008 while driving on the highway, the engine started revving when I stepped on the accelerator, but the car had no power and started loosing speed. Told me that my purchase was covered by a LIFETIME warranty covering all parts and labor for the transmission, as well as towing if necessary, All I needed to do was provide the original receipt.I complained many times to the dealer that the steering column clicked when the steering wheel was turned and the brakes did not feel right.
That lead to a conversation about the reason I was charged for the first repair. He also told me there were no records of this from the original dealer. He could not explain why and had already ordered another transmission.During one of my phone conversations with the supervisor, he stated that GM questioned why I paid for the first transmission to be replaced.
Frank�s also informed me that the transmission they just installed was covered under the warranty started in 2006, not a new warranty, even though it was a new transmission.I picked up the car, it drove 12 miles, bucked forward, the odometer and power steering failed and the transmission would NOT shift out of first gear. The dealer told me that the warranty covering the transmission work WAS NOT lifetime coverage, it was only 5 years or 100,000 miles. Obviously, the initial problem with the transmission had nothing to do with low fluid levels because of the length of time I had been driving the car.The transmission was replaced again by Frank�s. He and other mechanics I have talked to, told me that without fluid the transmission would not shift, and with low fluid it would not be months before the transmission burnt out, it would be days or hours.
