    AT 500 MILES, MY NEW AVALANCHE REQUIRED THE CROSSMEMBER TO BE CHANGED DUE TO CLUNKS IN THE COLUMN AND FLOORBOARD DURING TURNS, AT SLOW OR FAST SPEEDS. AGAIN AT 9527 MILES IT REQUIRED CHANGING AGAIN FOR THE SAME REASONS. I HAD A 2002 AVALANCHE THAT GM HAD TO BUY BACK FROM ME DUE TO THE SAME PROBLEM BUT WERE UNABLE TO REPAIR. *JB

    THE HEADLAMPS, PARKING LAMPS, FOG LAMPS, AND DAYTIME RUNNING LAMPS HAVE CONDENSATION FORM ON THE INSIDE OF THE LENSES DURING COLD WEATHER AFTER THE LIGHTS HAVE BEEN TURNED ON. THIS REDUCES THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE LIGHTS AND CAN LEAD TO UNSAFE DRIVING CONDITIONS. THE DEALER REFUSES TO REPLACE THE LAMPS UNDER WARRANTY EVEN THOUGH NJ DIVISION OF MOTOR VEHICLES SAYS THEY WILL FAIL THE VEHICLE WHEN I TAKE IT FOR THE STATE MOTOR VEHICLE INSPECTION. *LA
