The engine on my Rendezvous seems to run fine - all but a bit sluggish when accelerating up inclines. My problem is that at approx 2000 RPM I get a load droning noise that continues until about 2500 RPM, then quiets back down.
What could be the cause of this and how do I fix it. Currently I have an extended warranty coverage on the vehicle and am wondering if this is something that would be covered.

It really depends what your coverage is and where the problem is coming from which is hard to do over the internet
