Consumer Description

RADIATOR AND ENGINE COMPLETELY FLUSHED, CAP AND THERMOSTAT REPLACED DUE TO "MUD" IN SYSTEM.DEALER TOLD ME "MUD" WAS ACTUALLY METAL AND SAND LEFT IN ENGINE BLOCK DURING THE PRODUCTION/MILLING PROCESS. 1 MONTH AFTER FLUSH THE SYSTEM IS CLOGGED AGAIN WITH THIS MUD. DEALER SAYING ANOTHER FLUSH IS NEEDED ALONG WITH POSSIBLE WATER PUMP AND HEATER CORE REPLACEMENT. DEALER AND OTHER LOCAL CAR MAINTENANCE COMPANIES SAID THEY HAVE SEEN THIS MANY TIMES IN THESE BLAZERS. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A PROBLEM GM SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR.
