ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
AFTER ENGINE HAS WARMED UP, THERE IS A CONSTANT ENGING/TAPPING/RATTLE NOISE SIMILAR TO THE SOUND THAT BAD LIFTERS MAKE. THIS SOUND IS PREVALENT UNDER ALL CONDITIONS AND MORE PRONOUNCED ON ACCELERATION. I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY INDICATED IT WAS A NORMAL SOUND PER DETROIT. DETROIT HAS A DOCUMENT ID#843248 THAT ADDRESSES THIS PROBLEM. I COMPLAINED TO GM AND THEY HAVE EXTENDED THE WARRANTY ON THE ENGINE TO 100,000 MILES OR 11/27/07 WHICHEVER COMES FIRST. I AM STILL NOT SATISFIED AS THE NOISE IS CONSISTENT AND AN IRRITANT. I HAVE LOOKED AT YOUR SITE FOR OTHER SIMILAR COMPLAINTS AND DO NOT SEE ANY. THERE MUST BE A MECHANICAL FIX TO THIS PROBLEM BUT IT IS BEING IGNORED. THE ENGINE SOUND HAS INCREASED SINCE IT WAS FIRST NOTICED INDECEMBER, 2002 AND REPORTED TO THE DEALERSHIP.*AK

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, EQUIPMENT
NOT LONG AFTER I PURCHASED MY 2002 BLAZER, I STARTED NOTICING THAT AT RANDOM TIMES THE MOTOR WOULD START RACING WHEN I STARTED THE ENGINE. IT RAN VERY LOUD FOR A PERIOD OF TIME AND THEN WOULD FINALLY SLOW DOWN. WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE THIS WOULD ALSO HAPPEN. THE RPMS RAPIDLY INCREASE WHEN ACCELERATING, AND IT WOULD MAKE A LOUD ROARING NOISE, BUT THE VEHICLE DOESN'T GO ANY FASTER. I TOOK IT IN TO THE SHOP AND WAS TOLD THIS WAS NORMAL, THAT IT WAS THE CLUTCH FAN. IT IS EXTREMELY HARD TO BELIEVE THAT THIS IS NORMAL FOR A NEW VEHICLE. I HAVE HAD THE BLAZER SINCE APRIL OF 2002 AND IT CONTINUES TO DO THIS AND HAS SOMETIMES PUT ME IN VERY UNSAFE POSITIONS. THIS PROBLEM SEEMS TO ME TO BE MORE OF A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM THAN A FAN. I HAVE ALSO HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE FUEL GAUGE. IT WILL SHOW EMPTY WHEN IT HAS PLENTY OF GAS. IT HAS SHOWED LOW ON FUEL, AND THEN WHEN I STOP TO GET FUEL, IT WILL NOT TAKE ANY GAS. BUT THEN I HAVE RUN OUT OF GAS RIGHT AFTER TRYING TO PUT SOME IN THE TANK. THE THIRD PROBLEM IS THE LEFT FRONT DOOR HINGE. THE PIN CONTINUOUSLY WORKS OUT OF POSITION AND IT FEELS LIKE THE DOOR IS ABOUT TO FALL OFF AND IT DOESN'T CLOSE PROPERLY AND I HAVE TO HAVE THE PIN KNOCKED BACK INTO POSITION. ALSO, AT THE TIME I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE, IT HAD A CASSETTE PLAYER AND THE DEALERSHIP AGREED TO INSTALL A CD PLAYER AS PART OF THE PURCHASE AGREEMENT. THE VEHICLE ALSO HAD OPTIONAL CONTROLS ON THE STEERING WHEEL. WHEN THEY INSTALLED THE CD PLAYER, THE CONTROLS ON THE STEERING WHEEL NO LONGER WORKED. WHEN I ASKED THEM ABOUT THIS, THEY JUST SAID THAT THIS CD PLAYER COULD NOT BE CONTROLLED FROM THE STEERING WHEEL CONTOLS AND LEFT IT AT THAT. I THINK THEY SHOULD HAVE INSTALLED ONE THAT COULD HAVE FUNCTIONED THE SAME AS THE FACTORY INSTALLED EQUIPMENT.
