SPEEDOMETER DISPLAYS ERRONEOUS SPEEDS. MOST OF THE TIME LESS THAN WHAT THE VEHICLE IS ACTUALLY TRAVELING WHICH CREATES A PUBLIC SAFETY HAZARD. THERE IS NO INDICATION TO THE DRIVER OF A PROBLEM. ALL OTHER INDICATIONS ARE NORMAL. IT WAS NOT UNTIL A GPS WITH SPEED INDICATING CAPABILITY WAS INSTALLED IN THE VEHICLE THAT THE ERRONEOUS SPEEDOMETER INDICATION WAS KNOWN. FURTHER INVESTIGATION REVEALS THE SPEEDOMETER OPERATES CORRECTLY UNTIL THE DASH/INSTRUMENT PANEL HEATS UP. AT THIS POINT THE INDICATED SPEED CAN GRADUALLY VARY, SOMETIMES DRASTICALLY FROM ACTUAL VEHICLE SPEED UNKNOWING TO THE DRIVER. AFTER REVIEWING THE NHTSA SITE, THIS DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE AN ISOLATED INCIDENT AND BECAUSE OF THE PUBLIC SAFETY IMPLICATION OF A SPEEDING VEHICLE, AT THE MINIMUM I RECOMMEND A NOTICE BE SENT TO ALL CURRENT OWNERS OF THIS TYPE OF VEHICLE ADVISING THEM THIS CONDITION MAY BE PRESENT OR OCCUR IN THE FUTURE.

SINCE PURCHASING THIS TRUCK ON 02/01/2007, THERE HAVE BEEN MULTIPLE PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION, ENGINE, AND ELECTRICAL SYSTEM THAT HAVE NOT GOTTEN RESOLVED, HOWEVER THEY DO SEEM TO GET WORSE. THE WORST OF THESE PROBLEMS HAS OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING ON THE NORTHEAST EXTENSION OF THE PENNSYLVANIA TURNPIKE. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO PASS ANOTHER VEHICLE IN THE LEFT LANE THE ENGINE "SHUT OFF". I WAS DOING APPROX. 60-65 MPH WHEN THIS OCCURRED DURING THE AM RUSH HOUR. AFTER LOSING ENGINE POWER I SOMEHOW MADE IT SAFELY TO THE RIGHT HAND SHOULDER AND LET THE TRUCK "COAST" TO A STOP. THE POWER STEERING WAS NOT WORKING, NOR WERE THE POWER BRAKES. AFTER FINALLY STOPPING, THE TRUCK DID RESTART AND I SLOWLY CONTINUED ON MY WAY TO WORK. THE TRUCK WAS TAKEN TO A DEALERSHIP, AND FOR ALMOST (2) WEEKS THE TRUCK SAT THERE WHILE THEY TRIED TO FIGURE THIS OUT. AFTER GETTING THE TRUCK BACK, THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED, AND IT WENT BACK TO THE SAME DEALERSHIP. SINCE THEN IT HAS BEEN OK, EXCEPT I HAVE LOST DASHBOARD LIGHTS, RADIO LIGHTS, AND ALSO THE CRUISE CONTROL INDICATOR LIGHT, THEY CLAIM OTHER PROBLEMS, HOWEVER THESE ISSUES WERE NEVER A PROBLEM BEFORE THEY WORKED ON THE TRUCK. NOW I HAVE AIR-BAG LIGHTS FLASH AT ME WHILE DRIVING, AND THE TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING, THIS WAS THE FIRST PROBLEM WITH THE TRUCK THAT I REPORTED ON 03/14/2007 TO THE DEALERSHIP THAT I PURCHASED THIS TRUCK FROM. I HAVE ALREADY PAID OVER $1500.00 I REPAIR COSTS, ONLY TO HAVE THEM TELL ME IT WILL COST APPROX. ANOTHER $800.00-$1000.00 TO CORRECT THE AIR-BAG, AND TRANSMISSION ISSUES. THESE SHOULD BE COVERED BY MY WARRANTY, EXCEPT THE DEALERSHIP INSISTS I PAY FOR THE REPAIRS. I HAVE PAID ENOUGH, AND I AM AT MY WIT'S END WITH THIS TRUCK, AND THE DEALERSHIP. I FEEL THAT I CAN NO LONGER "SAFELY" DRIVE MY FAMILY AROUND IN THIS TRUCK, AND I STILL HAVE MANY YEARS OF PAYMENTS LEFT. ( I HAVE NEVER BEEN LATE ON A PAYMENT) PLEASE HELP ME, I FEEL AS THOUGH I HAVE BEEN SOLD A "MONEY PIT". *TR .0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 79565 miles.

SINCE PURCHASING THIS TRUCK ON 02/01/2007, THERE HAVE BEEN MULTIPLE PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION, ENGINE, AND ELECTRICAL SYSTEM THAT HAVE NOT GOTTEN RESOLVED, HOWEVER THEY DO SEEM TO GET WORSE. THE WORST OF THESE PROBLEMS HAS OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING ON THE NORTHEAST EXTENSION OF THE PENNSYLVANIA TURNPIKE. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO PASS ANOTHER VEHICLE IN THE LEFT LANE THE ENGINE "SHUT OFF". I WAS DOING APPROX. 60-65 MPH WHEN THIS OCCURRED DURING THE AM RUSH HOUR. AFTER LOSING ENGINE POWER I SOMEHOW MADE IT SAFELY TO THE RIGHT HAND SHOULDER AND LET THE TRUCK "COAST" TO A STOP. THE POWER STEERING WAS NOT WORKING, NOR WERE THE POWER BRAKES. AFTER FINALLY STOPPING, THE TRUCK DID RESTART AND I SLOWLY CONTINUED ON MY WAY TO WORK. THE TRUCK WAS TAKEN TO A DEALERSHIP, AND FOR ALMOST (2) WEEKS THE TRUCK SAT THERE WHILE THEY TRIED TO FIGURE THIS OUT. AFTER GETTING THE TRUCK BACK, THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED, AND IT WENT BACK TO THE SAME DEALERSHIP. SINCE THEN IT HAS BEEN OK, EXCEPT I HAVE LOST DASHBOARD LIGHTS, RADIO LIGHTS, AND ALSO THE CRUISE CONTROL INDICATOR LIGHT, THEY CLAIM OTHER PROBLEMS, HOWEVER THESE ISSUES WERE NEVER A PROBLEM BEFORE THEY WORKED ON THE TRUCK. NOW I HAVE AIR-BAG LIGHTS FLASH AT ME WHILE DRIVING, AND THE TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING, THIS WAS THE FIRST PROBLEM WITH THE TRUCK THAT I REPORTED ON 03/14/2007 TO THE DEALERSHIP THAT I PURCHASED THIS TRUCK FROM. I HAVE ALREADY PAID OVER $1500.00 I REPAIR COSTS, ONLY TO HAVE THEM TELL ME IT WILL COST APPROX. ANOTHER $800.00-$1000.00 TO CORRECT THE AIR-BAG, AND TRANSMISSION ISSUES. THESE SHOULD BE COVERED BY MY WARRANTY, EXCEPT THE DEALERSHIP INSISTS I PAY FOR THE REPAIRS. I HAVE PAID ENOUGH, AND I AM AT MY WIT'S END WITH THIS TRUCK, AND THE DEALERSHIP. I FEEL THAT I CAN NO LONGER "SAFELY" DRIVE MY FAMILY AROUND IN THIS TRUCK, AND I STILL HAVE MANY YEARS OF PAYMENTS LEFT.

I HAVE A 2003 CHEVROLET AVALANCHE THAT I PURCHASED NEW FROM THE DEALER. IT HAS APPROXIMATELY 104,000 MILES ON IT. THE PROBLEM IS THAT MY SPEEDOMETER IS ACTING ERRATICALLY.

I CAN HEAR A PHYSICAL GRINDING NOISE IN THE SPEEDOMETER ITSELF. THIS DOES NOT SEEM TO ADVERSELY AFFECT THE ODOMETER. I CANNOT RELIABLY TELL WHAT SPEED I'M GOING, AND MY VEHICLE WILL NOT PASS THE TEXAS STATE INSPECTION WITH THIS PROBLEM. I CONTACTED THE DEALER, AND WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICE ADVISOR THAT THIS WAS EXTREMELY COMMON, BUT THAT THERE IS NO RECALL. THEY SAID IT WILL COST OVER 500.00 TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. I RESEARCHED IT ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND LITERALLY HUNDREDS OF CASES OF THIS EXACT SAME PROBLEM. I POINTED THIS OUT, AND THE DEALER SAID BASICALLY THAT CHEVROLET WILL NOT ADDRESS THIS ISSUE. *TR.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 104000 miles.

CHEVROLET AVALANCHE 1500 Engine And Engine Cooling

CHEVROLET AVALANCHE 1500 2003 Safety Review #10209971

CHEVROLET AVALANCHE 1500 2003 car safety problem was reported on Oct 10, 2007.CHEVROLET AVALANCHE 1500 2003, manufactured by GENERAL MOTORS CORP. had a problem with ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING . FIRST OF ALL MY VEHICLE IS A 2003 CHEVY. AVALANCHE, WELL MAINTAINED AND ONLY HAS 62,000 MILES. TO GET STARTED, I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE STREET WHEN I HEARD THIS BANGING NOISE, SO I PULLED INTO THE NEAREST GMC DEALERSHIP. THEY CHECKED THE ENGINE OUT AND FOUND OUT THERE WAS ABSOLUTELY NO FLUID GOING INTO THE ENGINE. WE WERE TOLD WE NEEDED A NEW ENGINE SO I AUTHORIZED THEM TO PUT A NEW ONE IN. THE SERVICE MANAGER AND A COUPLE OF TECH'S LOOKED AT THE ENGINE AND AGREED IT WAS A DEFECT. I CONTACTED GMC IMMEDIATELY BECAUSE THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THEY HAVE A GOODWILL POLICY AND THEY FELT THEY SHOULD PAY SOMETHING TOWARDS THE ENGINE. CUSTOMER SERVICE INSISTED THAT I PUT THE ENGINE PUT BACK IN AND HAVE IT OWED TO A CHEVY DEALER. I ASKED THEM WHAT THE DIFFERENCE WAS BETWEEN GMC AND A CHEVY DEALER AND THEY COULD NOT RESPOND TO ME. I DID NOT HAVE THE VEHICLE REMOVED BECAUSE OF THE COST ALL I WAS ASKING WAS FOR THEM TO HAVE A REP. GO TO THE DEALERSHIP AND LOOK AT THE ENGINE BUT THEY SAID NO. BY THIS TIME I WAS VERY FRUSTRATED AND ANGRY. I CALLED GMC EXECUTIVE OFFICE AND SPOKE TO ANOTHER GIRL AND SHE ASSURED ME SHE WOULD HELP ME. WELL LOW AND BEHOLD SHE SAID "I DIDN'T BRING MY VEHICLE TO A CHEVY DEALER THEREFORE THEY WILL NOT HELP ME OUT FINANCIALLY. . ALL I WANT IS SOME FINANCIAL HELP FROM GMC AS $6,000.00 IS ALOT OF MONEY AND I AM ON A FIXED INCOME, SS ONLY. I HAD TO PAY THE BILL OF $6,000 PLUS $125.00 FOR A RENTAL ON VARIOUS CHARGES BECAUSE I DIDN'T HAVE THE CASH. IT WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED IF YOU COULD ADVISE ME ON HOW TO PROCEED. I SENT A CERTIFIED LETTER TO THE PRESIDENT OF GMC AND HE WON'T EVEN PICK UP THE LETTER FROM THE POST OFFICE. I WROTE A LETTER TO THE DETROIT PRESS AND HAVE HEARD NOTHING ALSO. THE DEALERSHIP THAT REPAIRED MY TRUCK ALSO COVERS THE WARRANTIES AND REPAIRS CHEVORLET VEHICLE. SO WHY SHOULD I HAVE TO TOW MY VEHICLE OUT OF THERE? *TR .0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 62000 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):3GNEC13TX3G.

MY 2003 CHEVY AVALANCHE HAS A KNOWN DEFECT WITH THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. ALL GAUGES ON THE VEHICLE CAN STOP FUNCTIONING WITHOUT NOTICE. THIS RESULTS IN THE DRIVER BEGIN UNABLE TO SEE THE VEHICLES SPEED OR ANY OTHER INFORMATION ABOUT THE VEHICLE INCLUDING WHAT GEAR THE VEHICLE IS IN OR EVEN WHETHER THE VEHICLE IS IN "PARK". IN MY CASE THE GAUGES FAILED DURING A SNOW STORM IN COLORADO, WHICH MADE DIFFICULT DRIVING CONDITIONS MUCH MORE DANGEROUS. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE WHICH COULD RESULT IN BOTH INJURY AND PROPERTY DAMAGE. APART FROM THE OBVIOUS ISSUE OF NOT SEEING ESSENTIAL VEHICLE INFORMATION, DRIVERS COULD INADVERTENTLY PUT THEIR VEHICLE IN THE WRONG GEAR SUCH AS REVERSE RATHER THAN PARK. GM ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THIS IS A KNOW DEFECT WITH THESE VEHICLES BUT REFUSES TO CORRECT IT UNLESS THE VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 70,000 MILES. GM REPRESENTS THAT YOUR OFFICE CONCURS WITH THEIR APPROACH, WHICH WOULD BE A SURPRISE TO ME SINCE THIS IS NOT A WEAR PART, IS KNOWN DEFECT WITH THESE VEHICLES, AND PRESENTS S SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. GM HAS CERTAINLY DONE A CALCULATION IS EXCLUDE AS MANY VEHICLES AS POSSIBLE FROM THEIR PROPOSED "FIX" AND IS APPALLINGLY UNCONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS DEFECT. *TR.Mileage was 100000 miles.

I HAVE A 03 CHEVY AVALANCHE AND THE SPEEDO IS NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. IT DOES NOT REGISTER THE RIGHT MPH ON THE GAUGE, SOMETIMES IT REGISTERS AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS EXAMPLE IS THAT WHEN YOU ARE DOING THE SPEED LIMIT IT WILL REGISTER 120 MPH AND WHEN YOU ARE STOPPED IT SAYS YOUR ARE GOING 50 MPH. THIS IS A PRODUCT DEFECT AND I THINK GM SHOULD RECALL THIS PROBLEM. THE ONLY THING THAT THEY HAVE DONE IS EXTEND THE WARRANTY ON THIS TO 70,000 MILES, SO IF YOU ARE OVER THIS MILEAGE THEN YOU HAVE TO BUY A NEW CLUSTER FOR 300+ DOLLARS. THIS IS NOT RIGHT GM SHOULD STAND GOOD FOR THEIR DEFECT...THEY HAVE RECOGNIZED THIS PROBLEM BY EXTENDING THE WARRANTY SO THEY KNOW THIS IS A PROBLEM AND SHOULD STAND GOOD FOR IT. *TR.Chevrolet Avalanche 1500 2003 problem was reported in CLINTON, AR.

CHEVROLET AVALANCHE 1500 2003 Safety Review #10248693

CHEVROLET AVALANCHE 1500 2003 car safety problem was reported on Feb 20, 2008.CHEVROLET AVALANCHE 1500 2003, manufactured by GENERAL MOTORS CORP. had a problem with VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL . LAST YEAR IN MY 2003 AVALANCHE I WAS CRUISING ON AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY AND I NOTICED MY SPEEDOMETER START TO MOVE BACKWARDS UNTIL IT READ ABOUT 25 MPH, HOWEVER, I WASN'T SLOWING DOWN. IT WAS VERY CONCERNING TO ME, SO I FIRST PULLED OVER TO LOOK UNDER THE HOOD, BUT I FOUND NOTHING. CURRENTLY THE SPEEDO DOES NOT OPERATE AT ALL, BUT I WENT THROUGH A FEW MONTHS WHERE IT WOULD START TO WORK PARTIALLY AFTER ABOUT AN HOUR OF DRIVING. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE THAT SO MANY PEOPLE ARE EXPERIENCING THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. OBVIOUSLY THIS PART WAS SUPPLIED BY GM IN LARGE NUMBERS OF FAULTY PARTS, AND REGARDLESS OF MILEAGE I BELIEVE I SHOULD BE COMPENSATED TO FIX THE SPEEDO. I HAD NO MAINTENANCE CONTROL OVER THE LIFE OF THE ELECTRONICS, AND IT'S NOT LIKE IF I HAD CHANGED THE OIL MORE REGULARLY I WOULDN'T HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM. CHEVY'S ARE TOO GOOD OF TRUCKS TO HAVE THIS KIND OF PROBLEM ON SO MANY OF THEIR TRUCKS. I'M SERIOUSLY CONSIDERING MOVING BACK TO A FORD TRUCK BECAUSE I OWNED A '95 BRONCO THAT HAD 248K MILES AND NEVER HAD AN ELECTRONIC PROBLEM. *TR.Mileage was 106000 miles.

SPEEDOMETER FAILURE ON 03 CHEVY AVALANCHE. APPARENTLY THERE WAS A LAWSUIT AGAINST GM BECAUSE THEY USED INFERIOR PARTS WITHIN THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER THAT ARE PRONE TO FAIL. THEY HAVE SINCE SETTLED THE SUIT IN LATE 2007 AND AGREED TO FIX ALL VEHICLES WITH LESS THAN 70K MILES. HOWEVER, WHAT ABOUT THE REST OF US WITH MORE THAN 70K MILES THAT ARE DRIVING WITHOUT A SPEEDOMETER BECAUSE GM IS CHARGING $500 TO REPAIR THE MOST IMPORTANT INSTRUMENT IN THE CAR, THE ONE THAT SHOULD LAST THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE ACCORDING TO THE LAWSUIT...... I'VE EVEN GONE SO FAR AS TO TRY TO FIND THE PARTS FOR THE SPEEDOMETER, BUT THEY ARE NOT AVAILABLE. YOU HAVE TO PURCHASE THE ENTIRE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AS A UNIT. IF THAT IS NOT ENOUGH, I CAN PURCHASE THE CLUSTER FOR $275 AND INSTALL IT MYSELF, BUT THE UNIT HAS TO BE PROGRAMMED TO THE VEHICLE IN ORDER TO WORK. THIS PROGRAMMING WILL COST $150.00 BY THE DEALERSHIP. SO BASICALLY, GM HAS EVERYONE IN MY SITUATION HOSTAGE FOR NEGLIGENCE ON THEIR PART. IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE I GET A SPEEDING TICKET OR WORSE, HURT SOMEBODY IN AN AUTO ACCIDENT BECAUSE I AM NOT AWARE OF MY SPEED OF TRAVEL. *TR.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 118673 miles.

GM HAS STATED (VIA CUSTOMER SERVICE REPS) THAT KNOWING YOUR SPEED IS NOT A SAFETY CONCERN. I POSE THE QUESTION THEN, WHY DO WE HAVE SPEED LIMITS? OF COURSE YOUR SPEED IS A VERY IMPORTANT SAFETY CONCERN OR IT WOULDN'T BE REGULATED. THEY NEED TO REPLACE THESE DEFECTIVE PRODUCTS THEY'VE PUT ON THE ROAD & REIMBURSE THOSE THAT HAVE ALREADY PAID TO HAVE THE REPAIRS COMPLETED. PUTTING A MILEAGE LIMIT ON THIS ISSUE IS ABSURD CONSIDERING THAT MOST PEOPLE EXPERIENCING THIS ISSUE EITHER GOT THE LETTER FROM GM AFTER THE 70K MILE MARK OR DON'T EXPERIENCE THE DEFECT UNTIL AFTERWARDS.

(2003 CHEVY AVALANCHE 1500 ~ 67,000 MILES) 1. THIS WAS A SPONTANEOUS FAILURE - THAT IS TO SAY, THERE WAS NO EVENT LEADING UP TO IT. 2. THERE IS A SPRING-CLIP THAT RETAINS THE EMERGENCY BRAKE SHOE. THIS SPRING-CLIP (ON THE DRIVER-SIDE, REAR WHEEL) CAME APART, ALLOWING THE E-BRAKE SHOE TO COME LOOSE. THIS HAD 2 RESULTS: 1) THE E-BRAKE SHOE FELL OUT OF POSITION, WEDGED ITSELF SOMEWHERE INSIDE OF THE DRUM, AND THEN THE BRAKE-SHOE & DRUM GROUND AGAINST EACH OTHER UNTIL THEY WERE BOTH EXTENSIVELY DAMAGED AND/OR DESTROYED, 2) THE ENTIRE EMERGENCY-BRAKE SYSTEM WAS RENDERED COMPLETELY USELESS. 3. THE DAMAGE FROM THE FAILURE CAN BE REPAIRED BY REPLACING THE EMERGENCY BRAKE SHOE, BRAKE ROTOR AND SPRING-CLIP. (I WILL PRO-ACTIVELY REPLACE THE SPRING-CLIP ON THE PASSENGER SIDE WHICH HAS NOT YET FAILED). THE OLD PARTS ARE STILL AVAILABLE.

SPEEDOMETER ON 2003 CHEVROLET AVALANCHE NOT WORKING, STUCK AT 120MPH. I CONSIDER THIS A SAFETY ISSUE. OTHER CLUSTER GAUGES -- TACHOMETER AND FUEL GAUGE -- HAVE ALSO FAILED. COMPLETE CLUSTER NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. GM WILL NOT CORRECT PROBLEM BECAUSE IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY. THERE WAS A TSB ISSUED BY GM TO REPAIR THE CLUSTER. HOWEVER, THE TSB ONLY REQUIRES GM TO REPAIR VEHICLES (AT THEIR EXPENSE) WITH LESS THAN 70K MILES. MY VEHICLE HAS OVER 110 MILES. IS THIS PROBLEM ANY LESS OF A SAFETY ISSUE FOR ME THAN IT IS FOR THOSE WITH LESS THAN 70K MILES? GM IS CHARGING $500 TO REPAIR THE MOST IMPORTANT INSTRUMENT IN THE CAR. SPEEDOMETER FAILURE IS CLEARLY A SAFETY ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE CORRECTED. THE VEHICLE?S MILEAGE SHOULD NOT BE A DETERMINING FACTOR AS TO WHETHER GM OR THE OWNER HAVE TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR. A SPEEDOMETER SHOULD LAST FOR THE EXPECTED LIFE OF THE VEHICLE, NOT JUST 70K MILES. *TR.Mileage was 110000 miles. Chevrolet Avalanche 1500 2003 problem was reported in BOYLSTON, MA.

MY EXAMPLE FOR GM IS THIS: NO OTHER GM VEHICLE I PURCHASE EVER HAD THIS PROBLEM AND EVEN THOUGH YOU MAY NOT THINK OF IT AS A SAFETY ISSUE PERHAPS YOU MIGHT RETHINK THIS THOUGHT BY GETTING INTO A VEHICLE WHERE THE SPEEDOMETER SPORADICALLY WORKS THEN STOPS WORKING ALL TOGETHER WHILE YOU ARE DRIVING. PERHAPS GM CAN TELL ME HOW THEY WOULD/COULD TELL THE SPEED THEY ARE GOING WHEN THIS HAPPENS 0 READING SO THAT I CAN TELL THE LAW ENFORCEMENT PERSONNEL WHO PULLED ME OVER FOR SPEEDING OR DRIVING UNDER THE LIMIT THAT I TRIED TO JUDGE MY SPEED BUT MY GM SPEEDOMETER STOPPED WORKING AND GM SAID IT WASN'T A SAFETY ISSUE.

I WOULD LIKE TO COPY AND PASTE MY LETTER SO THAT YOU WILL SEE THAT I AM SEEKING A FREE REPAIR/ REPLACEMENT INCLUDING FREE LABOR FOR A NEW IPC. IT IS A DEFECT THEY ADMIT AND IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND CONCERN THAT AFFECTS MANY VEHICLES BESIDES MINE NO MATTER HOW MANY MILES THE VEHICLE HAS ON IT.

CHEVROLET AVALANCHE 1500 2003 car safety problem was reported on Jan 19, 2012.CHEVROLET AVALANCHE 1500 2003, manufactured by GENERAL MOTORS LLC had a problem with ELECTRICAL SYSTEM . DURING TRIP FROM NC->TX->FL->TX I WAS STOPPED FOR SPEEDING (75 IN 60 ON I-10 IN LA) -- I DO *NOT* KNOWINGLY SPEED. I BEGAN WATCHING MY SPEED TO TRY TO UNDERSTAND WHY THIS HAPPENED. THE PROBLEM REPEATED SEVERAL TIMES ON THIS TRIP, AND I WAS ABLE TO RECORD A NUMBER OF PHOTOS OF THE PRECISE PROBLEM. AFTER DRIVING FOR MORE THAN A COUPLE OF HOURS (PROBABLY WHY I NEVER NOTICED THIS BEFORE), THE SPEEDOMETER WILL BEGIN A VERY SLOW DRIFT DOWNWARD. SINCE I HAD BEEN ON 70MPH ROADS FOR QUITE SOME TIME, I APPARENTLY ADJUSTED MY SPEED CONTROL UP TO MAINTAIN WHAT I THOUGHT WAS 70. THEN, WHEN I REACHED IBERVILLE PARISH IN LA, I NOTICED THE SPEED LIMIT WAS NOW 60; BUT WHEN I LOOKED DOWN, THE SPEEDOMETER WAS CLOSE ENOUGH TO 60 THAT I DIDN'T REALIZE ANYTHING WAS WRONG UNTIL A TROOPER FLAGGED ME DOWN. IN NO POSITION TO ARGUE, I WAS PUZZLED -- UNTIL I REACHED TX WHEN I NOTICED THE SPEEDOMETER DROPPING EVER SO SLOWLY. I HAD NO REAL IDEA OF MY SPEED, SO I JUST STAYED WITH TRAFFIC. A FEW DAYS LATER, ON THE TX->FL LEG, THE PROBLEM RESUMED AFTER A FEW HOURS. THIS TIME, I GOT THE IDEA TO START THE GPS ON MY BLACKBERRY PHONE. SURPRISE! MY REAL SPEED WAS DEFINITELY FASTER THAN INDICATED. SO I BEGAN TAKING PICTURES OF THE SPEEDOMETER AND PHONE. I HAVE A SERIES OF PHOTOS PROVING THE FAILURE. WHAT IS ALSO INTERESTING IS THAT STOPPING AND TURNING OFF THE ENGINE FOR A MOMENT, THE SPEEDOMETER STARTED WORKING AGAIN FOR A WHILE. ############### OVER A YEAR AGO, I HAD A ONE-TIME ISSUE WITH THE SPEEDOMETER. IT INDICATED MUCH FASTER THAN I WAS GOING -- MAYBE 50 WHILE STOPPED. WHEN RESTARTING THE ENGINE, I NOTICED THE NEEDLE "STEPPING" BACKWARDS FOR LESS THAN A SECOND. OUT OF CURIOSITY, I STOPPED AND STARTED THE ENGINE ABOUT 8 TIMES -- EACH TIME THE NEEDLE STEPPED BACKWARDS A FEW MPH, UNTIL IT EVENTUALLY FULLY RETRACTED BACK TO 0 AND WORKED FINE UNTIL THIS LONG TRIP. *TR.Mileage was 160500 miles.

AFTER 90 MINUTES MY CAR WAS RETURNED WITH THE NOTICE THAT A PRELIMINARY CHECK DID NOT UNCOVER THE CAUSE, AND I WOULD HAVE TO RETURN THE VEHICLE AT ANOTHER TIME AND EXPECT TO INCUR SEVERAL HOURS OF TROUBLE SHOOTING TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE. SINCE MY TRUCK WAS OUT OF WARRANTY, I WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE TO PARTS AND LABOR. I CANNOT UNDERSTAND WHY AN INOPERATIVE AIRBAG SYSTEM IS NOT A SAFETY RECALL ISSUE. PERHAPS IF GOVERNMENT MOTORS WAS PRIVATELY HELD, THE ACTUAL GOVERNMENT WOULD FORCE THE MANUFACTURER TO REPAIR ALL SUCH SAFETY RELATED ISSUES. *TR.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 107000 miles.

I DO SEE OTHER COMPLAINTS FILED HERE CONCERNING THE SAME ISSUE. IN OCTOBER 2003, I PURCHASED A NEW 2003 CHEVROLET AVALANCHE 1500. THE VEHICLE HAD 5,500 DEMO MILES ON THE ODOMETER. I DROVE MANY MILES FOR WORK AND FOR TRANSPORTING HOCKEY KIDS TO PRACTICE, GAMES, TOURNAMENTS, ETC. IN DECEMBER 2006 I ALREADY HAD 80,000+ MILES ON THE VEHICLE AND THE SPEEDOMETER, GAS GAUGE (CAUSING ME TO RUN OUT OF GAS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT!), OIL GAUGE, BATTERY VOLTMETER, RPMS, WHICH ARE ALL COMPONENTS OF AN ELECTRICAL CLUSTER BEGAN FAILING. I CONTACTED MY GM DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT A 'SILENT RECALL' HAD BEEN ISSUED TO DEALERS STATING THAT IF A VEHICLE WITH LESS THAN 3 YEARS AND UNDER 70,000 MILES WAS BROUGHT IN, THE DEALER SHOULD FIX THE ITEM AS A WARRANTY REPAIR. SINCE MY VEHICLE WAS 2 MOS OVER THE 3 YR AND OVER THE 70,000 MILES, I WAS DENIED A WARRANTY REPAIR AND QUOTED $700.00 TO FIX THE PART. SINCE THAT DATE, MY SON'S CHEVROLET VEHICLE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM! AND, IN 2009 A FRIEND'S BRAND NEW DENALI WITH LESS THAN 10,000 MILES HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. I HAVE NEVER FIXED THE PROBLEM DUE TO COST AND DISAGREEMENT WITH GM. I WROTE THE CORPORATE OFFICE AND GOT NOWHERE. I DON'T SEE HOW A SAFETY ISSUE LIKE THIS CAN BE ALLOWED TO CONTINUE TO HAPPEN NOR HOW GM CAN KNOW ABOUT THE PROBLEM BUT NOT TELL OWNERS OF THE VEHICLE AND/OR FUTURE POSSIBLE BUYERS OF THE VEHICLE. OH WAIT, YEA GM DOESN'T SAY ANYTHING BECAUSE CONSUMERS MIGHT TAKE THEIR BUSINESS ELSEWHERE! I SIMPLY WANTED TO GM TO FIX THE PROBLEM, THAT WAS OBVIOUSLY KNOWN ABOUT, BUT RATHER, GM SIMPLY KEEPS PUTTING THE SAME BAD COMPONENT IN FUTURE VEHICLES!!.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 82000 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):3GNEC13T93G. Chevrolet Avalanche 1500 2003 problem was reported in TROY, MI. Vehicle was not using ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. Vehicle was not using Cruise Control. VEHICLE SPEED: 65 mph.
