THE ENGINE HAS A HESITATION DUE TO A MANUFACURING PROBLEM IT ALSO USES MORE OIL THAN IT SHOULD BETWEEN OIL CHANGES. ALSO HAVING PROBLEM WITH THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM EVERY TIME I TURN AROUND SOMETHING STOPS WORKING LIKE THE SIDE MIRROR ON THE DRIVERS SIDE WON'T FOLD IN LIKE ITS SUPPOSED TO AND THE BACKUP SENSOR STOPPED WORKING. TRIED TO GET OUR MECHANIC TO FIX IT BUT IT NEEDS A CODE TO GET INTO THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM AND GM WON'T GIVE IT TO ANYONE BUT THIER OWN MECHANICS. SO NOW WE HAVE TO GO TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT FIX WHICH WILL COST ALOT MORE. ABOUT AMONTH AFTER PURCHASE THE DASH GOT A SMALL CRACK AROUND THE PASSENGER AIR BAG. THIS IS OUR SECOND 2007 AVALANCHE THE FIRST ONE HAD NO PROBLEMS AT ALL AND I HAD NO IDEA THAT THIS MODEL HAD SO MANY PROBLEMS THAT THE MANUFACTURER WON'T FIX. WITH AS MUCH AS THESE TRUCKS COST EVEN USED THE SHOULD HAVE TO REPAIR THINGS THAT ARE MANUFACTURER DEFECTS

MY CHEVY AVALANCHE HAS A KNOWN ISSUE OF THE DASH CRACKING WHICH GM DENIES. LIKE MANY OTHER TAHOE,SILVERADO,AND AVALANCHE OWNERS I HAVE A CRACKED DASH RIGHT IN THE CORNER OF THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG AND ANOTHER OVER THE DRIVERS STEERING COLUMN. THE DASH FLAPS FREELY AND I'M WORRIED IF THE AIR BAG GOES OFF THAT SHARP SHRAPNEL WILL FLY IN THE FACE OF THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER. THERE ARE TONS OF OWNERS ALL OVER WITH IDENTICAL ISSUES.

THE SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON, THE VEHICLE WAS JUST DRIVEN A SHORT DISTANCE 10 MILES, THEN IT SAT. STILL ON ONSTAR DIAGNOSTICS COULDN'T COMMUNICATE WITH THE SYSTEM. SO CALLED THE DEALER TOOK IT IN, THEY SAID IT WAS THE SDM MODULE, SO THEY ORDERED A NEW ONE. A WEEK LATER THE NEW ONE CAME IN, THEY CAN'T COMMUNICATE WITH THAT ONE. THEY SAID WE COULD TAKE THE TRUCK FOR THE WEEKEND, AND THEY HAVE THE GM ENGINEERS LOOKING INTO IT. THE CAR IS IN GREAT SHAPE, DROVE IT 2 YEARS WITHOUT A SINGLE INCIDENT. THEY DID JUST CHANGE THE 4X4 ACTUATOR A FEW MILES BACK. THEY WANT $667, BUT MAYBE MORE SINCE IT'S BEEN THERE FOR 2 WHOLE DAYS, WITH NO IMPROVEMENT. OH THE EXTENDED WARRANTY THEY SOLD ME WHEN I BOUGHT THE TRUCK FOR COMPUTER, ELECTRICAL,ETC..($2500 FROM UNITED CAR CARE) DOESN'T COVER IT BECAUSE IT'S AIR BAG RELATED SOMETHING ABOUT LIABILITY.

INITIALLY THE DASH BOARD CRACKED IN ONE CORNER ON THE PASSENGER SIDE, AT THE RIGHT UPPER CORNER OF THE INSET FOR THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. NOW THE DASH BOARD HAS SPLIT IN THE CENTER AND THE LEFT UPPER CORNER AT THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG. IT SEEMS IF THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG WERE TO DEPLOY THE BROKEN SECTIONS OF THE DASH WOULD BECOME PROJECTILES INFLICTING SERIOUS INJURY. I HAVE NOTIFIED THE LOCAL CHEVY DEALER, VESTER CHEVY, SVC MANAGER [XXX] , BUT THEY STATE IT IS A "NORMAL" WEAR ITEM! THEY REFUSE TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE. I HAVE NOTICED IN GOOGLE SEARCHES AND VEHICLES I LOOK AT THE PROBLEM IS WIDESPREAD ON GM TAHOE AND GMC YUKONS FOR SEVERAL YEARS OF PRODUCTION. PLEASE MAKE THIS NOTE A SUBJECT OF CONCERN. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

ENTERED INTERSTATE 74 IN INDIANA,GOT UP TO 65 MPH AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON ALONG WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT.
