Consumer Description

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
