Engine Failure Problems of Chevrolet Blazer

1999 Chevrolet Blazer with a v6 engine had a premature engine failure at 87k miles. A hair line crack was discovered in a cylinder using a dye test. The machinist who inspected the engine believes it was created as the result of the corrosive action of coolant used by gm. Chevrolet showed no interest in inspecting the engine. Without the aforementioned, I investigated myself, and can only conclude that a head bolt was not properly sealed during manufacturing, allowing coolant to penetrate the bolt area around the rear cylinder in question. This condition created a weakening of the cylinder wall over time causing the catastrophic failure. I've been communicating with Chevrolet for over two years with no success.

While driving 45 mph engine failed and security light stayed on.

While driving my trailblazer the engine failed as I was stoping for a red light. Luckily there were no cars near me and I was able to safely bring the car to a stop and force it to the curb. After about 15 minutes I was able to re-start the engine and I drove it to the dealership. They inspected the car, called Chevrolet with their diagnosis and were immeadiately informed by Chevrolet to the amazment of the serivce manager at the dealership that a new engine was needed. It seems they knew that a new engine was needed so quickly as this is a major problem. A search on your web site and the trailblazer forum at edmunds. Com shows that this is a wide spread problem. It is apparent that gm has knowingly placed "defective" engines in the 2002 trailblazer. What would have happended if my engine failed on the highway going 70 miles an hour? the NHTSA must address this situation before people die from this. This has all the makings of another Ford pinto fiasco.
