2002 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER EXT Engine And Engine Coolingcooling Systemfan Problems

EVEN THE THE WARRANTY WAS FINISHED, THE DEALER DID NOT CHARGE ME FOR THIS, BUT UNFORTUNATELY I THOUGHT THAT THIS WOULD TAKE CARE OF THE NOISE ON THE FRONT END, BUT IT IS STILL THERE!!

THE RESPONSE WAS THAT THIS HAPPENS A LOT ON THE CHEVY & GM VEHICLES. WHEN I CALLED CHEVY CORPORATION, I WAS GIVEN A CLAIM# & TOLD THAT THEY WILL HAVE TO INVESTIGATE THIS PROBLEM & THEN THEY WILL CALL ME BACK IN ABOUT 3 DAYS TO ADVISE IF THEY WILL HELP WITH THE COSTS OF THE REPAIR. BOTH THE CUSTOMER SERVICE REPS I SPOKE WITH AT CHEVROLET CORPORATION (800-222-1020) TOLD ME THAT THEY'VE PERSONALLY NEVER HAD SUCH A COMPLAINT BEFORE AND THAT THIS WAS NEW TO...
