2007 132,000 miles Hummer Service did head job, within a week a rattle began only when idle and when eng is at normal operating temp. That's to say when its cold and until the temp reaches normal, no rattle. Same if driving... no rattle.
The rattle comes from the fan/front engine upper area. Hummer can't diagnose it but says I should not drive it for fear of damage to lower engine. They suggest to replace the engine for $6,100. I said yes, next day I called to cancel the engine order and they went into a frenzy with every reason why I can't cancel the engine. Persistence brought them to offer the engine replacement for $4,100 and I declined. What's going on 1) with the rattle and 2) why such hard push-back on canceling the engine, and then a $2,000 reduction to replace the engine?
