CHEVROLET AVALANCHE 2003 Service Brakes, Hydraulic Report #10066521

CHEVROLET AVALANCHE 2003 car safety problem was reported on Apr 12, 2004.CHEVROLET AVALANCHE 2003, manufactured by GENERAL MOTORS CORP. had a problem with SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC . WHILE DRIVING MY 2003 CHEV AVALANCHE DOWN A HILL I REALIZED THAT WHEN I STEPPED ON MY BRAKES, THEY WENT TO THE FLOOR, THE VEHICLE SLOWED DOWN, BUT VERY SLOWLY. I HAVE TOWED MY BOAT WITH THIS VEHICLE IN THE PAST AND I THOUGHT THAT IT WAS HAVING A HARD TIME SLOWING DOWN. I'M AFFRAID THAT IF I HAVE TO STOP QUICKLY THE BRAKES WILL NOT STOP THE VEHICLE IN TIME. I AM A STATE TROOPER AND I AM VERY FAMILLIAR WITH THE BRAKING SYSTEMS TO INCLUDE ABS. I ONLY HAVE 9000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE AND THIS SHOULDN'T BE HAPPENING. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A LOCAL GM DEALERSHIP FOR SEVERAL REPAIRS, I REQUESTED THEM TO CHECK THE BRAKES. I WAS ADVISED BY THE SERVICE MGR THAT THE BRAKES WERE WITHIN GM SPECS. I ASKED HIM WHAT THAT MEANT? HE SAID THAT HE HAD HAD A LADY COME IN SEVERAL WEEKS AGO COMPLAINING OF THE SAME THING AND BECAUSE SHE WOULDN'T GO AWAY HE CONTACTED THE GM ENGINEERS, THEY CAME OUT AND INSPECTED HER BRAKES, THEY TOLD HIM THAT HER BRAKES WERE WITHIN SPECS AND THEY WOULDN'T DO ANYTHING. HE THEN TOLD ME THAT MY BRAKES WERE BETTER THAN HER'S. I ASKED HIM WHAT HE MEANT BY THAT, HE SAID THAT IF HER BRAKES WERE OK THEN MY BRAKES WOULD BE WITHIN SPECS. I TOLD HIM THAT I WASN'T SATISFIED WITH THE WAY THE BRAKES WORKED AND THAT I WANTED HIM TO MAKE A NOTE OF MY DIS-SATISFACTION. HE NEVER WROTE THIS ON MY INVOICE. THE SECOND COMPLAINT IS THAT I HAD ADVISED THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT OF A PROBLEM WITH THE REMOTE CONTROLED OUTSIDE MIRRORS. THEY WERE NOT WORKING THE WAY THEY WERE DESIGNED. I WAS ADVISED THAT IT WAS OPERATOR ERROR. I TOLD THEM THAT I WAS VERY CAPABLE OF READING AND SETTING THE OPERATOR PREFERENCES. I TOLD HIM THAT THIS WAS THE SECOND TIME THAT THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN TO A GM DEALERSHIP FOR THE OUTSIDE MIRRORS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. I HAVE READ ON YOU SERVICE BULLETIN WEB SITE THAT THEIR HAD BEEN ONE ISSUED FOR THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM. I AM ALSO HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THE ALARM SYSTEM, IT DOESN'T SET PROPERLY, THEY AGAIN ADVISED ME THAT IT WAS OPERATOR ERROR. *AK.Mileage was 6000 miles.

CHEVROLET AVALANCHE Service Brakes, Hydraulic Switches Brake Warning

CHEVROLET AVALANCHE 2003 Service Brakes, Hydraulic Switches Brake Warning Report #10105747

CHEVROLET AVALANCHE 2003 car safety problem was reported on Jan 04, 2005.CHEVROLET AVALANCHE 2003, manufactured by GENERAL MOTORS CORP. had a problem with SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:SWITCHES:BRAKE WARNING . PREMATURE WEAR OF EMERGENCY BRAKES ON A 2003 CHEVROLET AVANLANCHE 1500. THE BRAKE IS NOT USED AND THE SERVICE PEOPLE COULD NOT EXPLAIN WHY THE BRAKES WORE OUT. MY REGULAR BRAKES JUST AT 28700 MILES JUST NEEDED TO BE REPLACED IN THE BACK BUT NOT THE FRONT. THE FRONT BRAKES ARE ALMOST LIKE NEW. EVEN THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID THAT IT DID NOT SEEM RIGHT. GM JUST SAYS NOTHING THEY WILL DO. IT COST ME ABOUT $150 DOLLARS(REQUIRED FOR INSPECTION) TO FIX THOSE EMERGENCY BRAKES AND I BELIEVE THERE IS A DEFECT IN THE SYSTEM THAT ALLOWED THE BRAKES TO WEAR OUT. THEY SHOULD NOT HAVE ANY WEAR AS EMERGENCY BRAKES. GM SAID THEY HAD A LOT OF COMPLAINTS BUT THEY COULD NOT EXPLAIN IT EITHER. CAN YOU HELP ME AND INVESTIGATE THIS PROBLEM? BASICALLY I WAS TOLD BY GM THAT THEY ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT DON'T KNOW WHAT IS CAUSING IT. SO MAYBE I SHOULDN'T USE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE AT ALL. SINCE THEY CAN'T PROVE WHAT'S WRONG THEY WON'T HELP ME. SOUNDS LIKE AN EXCUSE NOT TO FIX WHAT'S WRONG. MAYBE IT'S JUST A WAY OF CAUSING THE OWNERS OF THESE VEHICLES TO PAY MORE AT SERVICE/INSPECTION TIME. A SCAM!*AK.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 28770 miles.

CHEVROLET AVALANCHE 2003 Power Train Automatic Transmission Report #10105774

CHEVROLET AVALANCHE 2003 car safety problem was reported on Sept 09, 2004.CHEVROLET AVALANCHE 2003, manufactured by GENERAL MOTORS CORP. had a problem with POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION . 2003 CHEVROLET AVALANCHE WITH HARSH AND SUDEN UNEXPECTED DOWN SHIFTS. DEALER HAS ATTEMPED REPAIR SEVERAL TIMES WITHOUT REPAIRING THE PROBLEM. WHEN SLOWING IN TRAFFIC OR FOR A TURN THE TRANSMISSION WILL DOWNSHIFT HARD AND CLUNK AND BANG AS IF SOMETHING IS GOING TO BREAK. THIS IN MY OPINION IS A SAFETY HAZARD ON SLIPPERY ROADS WHILE MAKING A TURN AS IT COULD CAUSE A SPINOUT. LAST CALL FROM DEALER THE SERVICE MANAGER READ TO ME A TSB FROM CHEVROLET SAYING THIS WAS A NORMAL CONDITION AND NOT TO ATTEMPT A REPAIR. NOT ACCEPTABLE. I HAVE BEEN AN AUTO TECH FOR 38 YEARS. I FEEL THE TRANSMISSION IS SHIFTING INTO 1ST GEAR INSTEAD OF 2ND WHEN SPEED DROPS JUST BELOW 20MPH. THIS JUST MAY BE A SHIFT PROGRAM PROBLEM, BUT WHAT DAMAGE IS BEING DONE TO TRANSMISSION OVER LONG TERM? *AK.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 5000 miles.

SIX CALLS LATER AND PLENTY OF "ILL GET BACK WITH YOU", CHEV WOULD NOT STAND UP TO ANY REPAIR OR REVIEW OF THIS FAULTY ITEM AT THEIR EXPENSE. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF ANY OTHER REPORTS ON THIS ITEM HAVE BE FOUND AND IF ANY RECOURSE IS AVAILABLE TO CONSUMERS WITH THIS ISSUE???

SPEEDOMETER ON MY 2003 Z71 AVALANCHE WORKS ERRATICALLY OR NOT AT ALL. A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUE I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP FROM WHO I BOUGHT MY VEHICLE. DEALERSHIP SAID THERE WAS NO RECALL ON SPEEDOMETER (INSTRUMENT CLUSTERS) FOR MY TYPE OF VEHICLE AND THAT THEY COULD NOT REPLACE THE CLUSTER AS PART OF "GOODWILL" BY GM BECAUSE THEY HAVE NOT BEEN INSTRUCTED TO DO SO. THEY WERE NOT AWARE OF THE FACT THAT MANY AVALANCHES AND OTHER GM SUVS HAVE IDENTICAL PROBLEMS (USUALLY A BAD STEPPER MOTOR IN THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER). COST TO REPLACE CLUSTER IS ABOUT $350-$400 INCLUDING LABOR. GIVEN THE NATURE OF THE FAILURE AND HOW WIDESPREAD IT IS, I THINK THE NHTSA ENGINEERS SHOULD INVESTIGATE THIS PROBLEM AND PERHAPS TELL GM THEY NEED TO RECALL THESE VEHICLES BEFORE ACCIDENTS OCCUR. I HAVE TO ESTIMATE MY SPEEDS ON A VEHICLE WITH ONLY 58000 MILES ON IT.

CHEVROLET AVALANCHE 2003 car safety problem was reported on Dec 01, 2007.CHEVROLET AVALANCHE 2003, manufactured by GENERAL MOTORS CORP. had a problem with ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT PANEL . GENERAL MOTORS MAILED ME A NOTICE ADVISING THAT MY VEHICLE (2003 AVALANCHE WHICH I PURCHASED NEW IN OCT 2003) "COULD DEVELOP A CONDITION WHERE ONE OR MORE OF THE INSTRUMENT PANEL GAUGE NEEDLES MAY STICK, FLUTTER, OR BECOME INOPERATIVE." IT WAS ADDITIONALLY NOTED THAT "THIS CONDITION MAY CAUSE INACCURATE READINGS, INCLUDING SPEEDOMETER AND THE FUEL GAUGE." REMEDY OF REPLACEMENT WAS OFFERED FOR VEHICLES WITHIN 7 YEARS OF ORIGINAL DATE PLACED IN SERVICE OR 70,000 MILES, WHICHEVER OCCURS FIRST. MY VEHICLE EXHIBITS THIS PROBLEM IN SPEEDOMETER. MY VEHICLE HAS OVER 80,000 MILES AND IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE REPAIR OFFER. THE CONDITION IN MINE IS EXHIBITED WHEN TEMPERATURES ARE BELOW 45-50 DEGREES (TYPICALLY IN WINTER), AND BEGAN LAST WINTER. I ASSOCIATED IT WITH THE WEATHER AND DIDN'T THINK TOO MUCH ABOUT IT. HOWEVER, NOW THAT I KNOW IT IS A DEFECT, I BELIEVE GM SHOULD BE EXPECTED TO CORRECT THIS DEFECT IN ALL AFFECTED VEHICLES.

CHEVROLET AVALANCHE 2003 car safety problem was reported on Oct 16, 2010.CHEVROLET AVALANCHE 2003, manufactured by GENERAL MOTORS CORP. had a problem with SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC . I HAVE A 2003 CHEVY AVALANCHE THAT I BOUGHT NEW. IN OCTOBER 2007 MY MECHANIC REPLACED ALL 4 ROTORS AND PADS ON THE BRAKES. HE SAID THE BRAKES HAD RUSTED OUT FROM THE BACKSIDE. AT THAT TIME I PAID $390, AND THE REST WAS COVERED BY WARRANTY. ON OCTOBER 16, 2010, I WAS DRIVING FROM THE PHILADELPHIA AIRPORT TO MY HOME IN WEST CHESTER, PA. SHORTLY AFTER LEAVING THE AIRPORT, I SUDDENLY LOST ALL BRAKING POWER. THE BRAKES WERE COMPLETELY GONE. WHEN I PRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL, NOTHING HAPPENED. I DROVE FOR MORE THAN 20 MILES THIS WAY, TO MY MECHANIC IN WEST CHESTER, ON SEVERAL ROADS WITH HEAVY TRAFFIC AND MANY STOP LIGHTS. I DID THIS BY SHIFTING GEARS AND BY TURNING THE ENGINE OFF AND ON. MY MECHANIC HAD TO FABRICATE SOME PARTS TO REPLACE THE BRAKE LINES, SINCE THESE PARTS ARE NO LONGER MADE BY GM. HE COMPLETELY REPLACED BOTH BRAKES. I PAID $394. I HAVE LEARNED ONLINE THAT SOME 110 OWNERS OF CERTAIN GM TRUCKS AND SUVS, INCLUDING THE MODEL I OWN, HAVE REPORTED THEIR VEHICLES TO THE NHTSA FOR BRAKE DEFECTS, AND THAT THERE IS AN ONGOING INVESTIGATION THAT BEGAN IN SPRING 2010. I WANT TO ADD MY COMPLAINT TO THOSE OTHERS. I THINK GM DID A SHODDY JOB MANUFACTURING THE BRAKES FOR MY 2003 AVALANCHE. IF THERE IS ANY WAY TO GET COMPENSATION FOR THIS, I AM INTERESTED. BUT AT THE VERY LEAST, I WANT THE NHTSA TO KNOW THAT MY BRAKES COMPLETELY FAILED ON A MAJOR URBAN HIGHWAY, AND THAT I BELIEVE POOR MANUFACTURING MATERIALS WERE THE CAUSE. HOPEFULLY THE REPAIRS DONE BY MY MECHANIC WILL PREVENT A RECURRENCE. BUT FOR WHAT I PAID FOR MY AVALANCHE (ABOUT $35K), I DIDN'T EXPECT ROTTEN BRAKES. *TR.Mileage was 37762 miles.

CHEVROLET AVALANCHE 2003 car safety problem was reported on Oct 14, 2011.CHEVROLET AVALANCHE 2003, manufactured by GENERAL MOTORS LLC had a problem with SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC . OCTOBER 14, 2011: MY FAMILY AND I WERE BACKING OUT FROM OUR HOME WHEN WE LOST PRESSURE IN THE BRAKE PEDAL. UPON VISUAL INSPECTION UNDER THE DRIVERSIDE DOOR, BRAKE FLUID WAS FLOWING FREELY ONTO THE ROAD. A CLOSER LOOK REVEALED THAT THE BRAKE LINES WERE SEVERELY CORRODED AND THAT THEY HAD RUPTURED WHEN PRESSURE WAS APPLIED TO THE BRAKES. AS I PULLED MY TRUCK BACK INTO THE DRIVEWAY, IT TOOK 10-15 FT JUST TO BRING THE TRUCK TO A COMPLETE STOP USING THE EMERGENCY BRAKE AND I DID NOT EVEN GET UP TO 3 MPH. I AM VERY CONCERNED AS TO WHAT COULD OF HAPPENED TO MY FAMILY AND I WERE TRAVELING DOWN THE ROAD AT 45 MPH OR FASTER AND WENT TO BRAKE AND THE LINE RUPTURED NOT TO MENTION ANYONE ELSE I WOULD OF CRASHED INTO. I DID SOME RESEARCH ONLINE AND HAVE DISCOVERED THAT THERE IS A CURRENT INVESTIGATION (NHTSA ACTION NUMBER :EA11001) THAT IS PENDING FINAL RESULTS. PLEASE ADD MY OWN EXPERIENCE TO YOUR GROWING LIST OF ISSUES WITH GM'S MANUFACTURING/INSTALLATION OF BRAKE LINE. IT IS APPARENT THAT THIS ISSUE IS NOT ONE THAT HAS AFFECTED A SMALL PERCENTAGE OF BUYERS. I STRONGLY ASK THAT SOMEONE PLEASE FIGURE OUT THE CORRECTIVE ACTION FOR GM TO TAKE THAT DOES NOT NEGATIVELY AFFECT THE CUSTOMERS BOTH ETHICALLY AND FINANCIALLY. *TR.Mileage was 107211 miles.

CHEVROLET AVALANCHE 2003 car safety problem was reported on Nov 19, 2011.CHEVROLET AVALANCHE 2003, manufactured by GENERAL MOTORS LLC had a problem with SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC . I WAS DRIVING DOWN HWY 316 AND BEGAN APPROACHING A RED LIGHT. WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO BEGIN STOPPING FOR THE RED LIGHT, MY BRAKE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND THE BRAKES DIDN'T SEEM TO BE WORKING.

WHEN I GOT OUT OF MY VEHICLE AND STARTING LOOKING AROUND I COULD SEE FLUID DRIPPING ON THE GROUND NEXT TO THE DRIVER SIDE FRONT WHEEL.

I CONSIDER MYSELF AND MY FAMILY EXTREMELY FORTUNATE THAT WE WERE ABLE TO AVOID A CRASH AND WERE NOT HARMED OR DIDN'T HARM ANYONE ELSE. AFTER THIS OCCURRED I STARTING DOING RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET AND DISCOVERED THAT THIS HAS BECOME A MAJOR ISSUE WITH CHEVROLET VEHICLES IN THE SALT BED STATES.

CHEVROLET AVALANCHE 2003 car safety problem was reported on Aug 29, 2012.CHEVROLET AVALANCHE 2003, manufactured by General Motors LLC had a problem with SERVICE BRAKES . I WAS TAKING MY 3 BOYS TO SCHOOL WHEN THE VEHICLE LOST ALL PRESSURE IN THE BRAKES. ONCE AGAIN ONE OF THE BRAKE LINES ON THE TRUCK HAS RUSTED THROUGH AND IS NOW LEAKING. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME I HAVE HAD AN ISSUE WITH A RUSTY BRAKE LINE IN THE PAST TWO YEARS. THERE IS NO REASON THAT THESE LINES SHOULD BE RUSTING OUT SO PREMATURELY. I HAVE LIVED IN THE SAME AREA MY ENTIRE LIFE AND HAVE NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM WITH ANY OF MY OTHER VEHICLES. I OWNED A 1988 CHEVROLET S-10 BLAZER FOR NEARLY 20 YEARS AND HAPPILY PUT OVER 228,000 MILES ON IT AND NEVER ONCE HAD A BRAKE LINE RUST THROUGH. I AM REPLACING THE DEFECTIVE PART WITH AN IMPROVED TEFLON COATED BRAKE LINE. I DO NOT WANT THE SAME INFERIOR ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT PUT BACK IN PLACE OF THE CURRENT RUSTED LINE. THE LINES HAVE RUSTED OUT BECAUSE THEY WERE NOT MANUFACTURED TO PROPER STANDARDS. THE WORST PART IS NOW WONDERING WHICH BRAKE LINE WILL BE NEXT. ALL GM VEHICLES AFFECTED BY THIS ISSUE SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED. YOU CAN FIND THOUSANDS OF STORIES JUST LIKE MINE ALL OVER THE INTERNET. YESTERDAY I SPOKE TO A GM EMPLOYEE WHERE I BOUGHT MY TRUCK AND HE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH HIS 2002 TAHOE. GM AGREED TO REPLACE EVERY BRAKE LINE ON HIS TRUCK FOR A FLAT FEE OF $250 BECAUSE THEY KNOW THAT THE BRAKE LINES ARE DEFECTIVE. THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED NOW BECAUSE FOUR LIVES WERE AT STAKE ON 8/29/2012 WHEN I LOST ALL THE BRAKES ON MY TRUCK. I WAS LUCKY TO BE ABLE TO HANDLE THE SITUATION BUT NO ONE SHOULD DIE OVER AN ISSUE SUCH AS THIS WHICH HAS BEEN DOCUMENTED MANY TIMES ALREADY. *TR.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 95542 miles.

A VERY GOOD FRIEND NOTIFIED ME YESTERDAY THAT HIS SAME YEAR AVALANCHE EXPERIENCED A BURST BRAKE LINE AND CAUSED HIM TO HAVE TO CRASH HIS VEHICLE TO STOP IT. HE TOLD ME WHERE THE LINE HAD BURST AND STATED THAT CHEVROLET USES STEEL BRAKE LINE INSTEAD OF STAINLESS STEEL. I INSPECTED MY 2003 AVALANCHE AND NOTICED THAT MY BRAKE LINES ARE SHOWING SEVERE SIGNS OF CORROSION. LMC TRUCK PARTS SELLS A REPLACEMENT BRAKE LINE KIT FOR THIS VEHICLE FOR A REASONABLE PRICE OF 379.00. IT IS THAT HARD TO FORCE VEHICLE MANUFACTURES TO USE STAINLESS STEEL INSTEAD OF REGULAR STEEL IN THEIR BRAKING SYSTEMS.

CHEVROLET AVALANCHE 2003 car safety problem was reported on Jan 01, 2003.CHEVROLET AVALANCHE 2003, manufactured by General Motors LLC had a problem with SEATS . I'M BEEN HAVING MAJOR BACK PROBLEMS CAUSED BY A DEFECT IN HOW THE DRIVER'S SEAT WERE MANUFACTERED IN MY 2003 CHEVY AVALANCHE. I'M NOT ALONE; A QUICK SEARCH REVEALS THAT MANY OTHERS ARE AS WELL AND GM WILL DO LITTLE TO NOTHING TO HELP RESOLVE THESE ISSUES. HTTP://WWW.CHEVYAVALANCHEFANCLUB.COM/CAFCNA/INDEX.PHP?TOPIC=4047.15;WAP2 THE ISSUE IS THE HEAVY PIECE OF METAL THAT'S EXPOSED AS YOU ADJUST THE DRIVER'S SEAT. IT PRESSES AGAINST YOUR LEFT GLUT CAUSING GRADUAL BUT PROLONGED INJURY TO YOUR BACK, HIP, AND GLUT. RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE I'VE SEEN OTHERS ATTEMPT TO RECUSHION THEIR SEATS, WITHOUT SUCCESS. SOME THOUGHT TO SWAP THE SEAT OUT RIGHT, BUT THERE AREN'T ANY OTHER GM SEATS AVAILABLE WITH A SIMILAR WIRING HARNEST THAT WILL WORK. ADJUSTMENTS TO THE DRIVER'S SEAT IS NOT THE ISSUE I'VE TRIED SEVERAL ITERATIONS WITHOUT ANY SUCCESS. IT'S THAT HUGE CHUNK OF METAL THAT I'M FORCED TO SIT ON THAT'S CAUSING THE PROBLEM. IT WAS A POORLY CONCEIVED DESIGN AND GM SHOULD BE FORCED TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. I'M MARRIED TO THIS VEHICLE FOR THE NEXT 11 YEARS WHETHER I LIKE IT OR NOT. WITH YOUNG ONES, I CAN'T AFFORD TO JUST BUY A NEW ONE. GM APPARRENTLY SWAPS SEAT MANUFACTUERS OFTEN AND PAID NO ATTENTION TO THIS ISSUE IN THE DESIGN OF THE AVALANCHE. I FEEL IT MUST BE THEIR RESPONSIBILITY TO PROPERLY SATISFY THE DAMAGE AND PAIN THEY'VE INFLICTED ON MYSELF AND OTHERS WITH SUCH A POOR DECISION..1 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Chevrolet Avalanche 2003 problem was reported in COLUMBIA, MD.
