CHEVROLET AVALANCHE 2005 car safety problem was reported on Jan 08, 2012.CHEVROLET AVALANCHE 2005, manufactured by GENERAL MOTORS LLC had a problem with POWER TRAIN . ON JANUARY 8TH 2012, WHILE PULLING OUT OF THE CHURCH LOT WE HEARD A CLUNK NOISE. THE "TRANSMISSION HOT" DISPLAY CAME ON. WE MADE IT HOME AT A SLOWER RATE OF SPEED AND EVENTUALLY THE LIGHT WENT OUT. I CALLED GM CUSTOMER SERVICE WHEN I GOT HOME. THEY DIDN'T HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS, BUT JUST ASKED IF I WAS TOWING SOMETHING AT THE TIME AND OTHER QUESTIONS TO WHICH THE ANSWER WAS NO. I TOOK MY AVALANCHE TO THE DEALER THE NEXT DAY TO GET IT CHECKED. ON THE 9TH, THE SERVICE MANAGER TOLD ME THAT 2ND AND 4TH GEARS WERE OUT. HE SAID THEY WOULD HAVE TO TEAR INTO IT TO FIND OUT IF IT COULD BE REPAIRED. I ASKED HOW MUCH THAT WAS GOING TO BE AND HE SAID AROUND $580.00. I LET THEM TEAR INTO IT STARTING ON THE 10TH. DIDN'T HEAR ANYTHING ON THE 10TH OR 11TH BUT ON THE 12TH, THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS "PRETTY WELL COOKED" AND IT WOULD NEED REPLACED WITH A REMANUFACTURED TRANSMISSION FOR $3200.00. HE SAID THE REMANUFACTURED ONE WOULD COME WITH A 3YR/100,000 MILE WARRANTY. I CALLED BACK GM CUSTOMER SERVICE BACK AND LEFT A MESSAGE FOR THEM TO CALL ME. BASED ON EVERYTHING I'VE READ ON THE INTERNET, IT APPEARS THAT THIS TRANSMISSION IS WELL KNOWN FOR FAILING AND I DON'T BELIEVE A 2005 AVALANCHE WITH ONLY 88,000 MILES ON SHOULD HAVE FAILED. I'VE USE MY VEHICLE FOR MOSTLY GOING TO AND FROM WORK AND ON LONG TRIPS. HOPEFULLY, GM WILL ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR FAILED DEFECTIVE EQUIPMENT AND PROVIDE ME WITH A REMANUFACTURED TRANSMISSION. I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS TRANSMISSION IS REALLY NOT A "TRUCK" TRANSMISSION BUT IS ALSO USED IN SOME OF GM'S OTHER SEDANS WHICH WEIGH TWICE AS LESS AND ARE NOT USED FOR THE SAME TYPES OF THINGS A TRUCK IS MEANT FOR. IT'S NO WONDER IT FAILED. FOR OTHER POSTS ABOUT AVALANCHE TRANSMISSION FAILURES, GO HERE ==> HTTP://TOWNHALL-TALK.EDMUNDS.COM/DIRECT/VIEW/.F0F8066/0. *TR.Mileage was 88000 miles.

CHEVROLET AVALANCHE 2005 car safety problem was reported on Sept 13, 2013.CHEVROLET AVALANCHE 2005, manufactured by General Motors LLC had a problem with FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM . I NOTICED A STRONG SMELL OF GASOLINE AND UPON INSPECTION FOUND A SIGNIFICANT FUEL LEAK UNDER THE DRIVER'S DOOR. A CLOSER LOOK REVEALS THAT THERE ARE 2 RUBBER FUEL LINES THAT TOUCH AND HAVE WORN THROUGH EACH OTHER, CAUSING THEM TO LEAK FUEL. THIS IS ALL WITHIN INCHES OF THE EXHAUST SYSTEM. ANY REASONABLE PERSON WOULD ASSUME THAT THIS IS A FIRE HAZARD! THIS IS AN OBVIOUS DESIGN FLAW THAT COULD EASILY BE AVOIDED. *TR.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 127000 miles.

CHEVROLET AVALANCHE 2005 car safety problem was reported on Dec 02, 2012.CHEVROLET AVALANCHE 2005, manufactured by General Motors LLC had a problem with ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT PANEL . SPEEDOMETER STOPPED WORKING COMPLETELY. IT HAD BEEN WORKING FINE WHEN I LAST DROVE IT. BUT WHEN I STARTED DRIVING WITHIN THE NEXT 3-4 HOURS I NOTICED IT WAS NOT READING THE SPEED AT ALL. ALL THE OTHER GAUGES ON THE CLUSTER WERE WORKING PROPERLY. WHEN TALKING TO THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT THIS PROBLEM THEY STATED IT WASN'T A SIMPLE FIX AND COULD COST ME ABOVE $500, THEY COULDN'T GIVE ME AN ESTIMATE OF HOW MUCH IT WOULD COST. .AFTER REVIEWING THE COMPLAINTS LISTED ON THIS WEBSITE, THIS SEEMS TO BE A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT. MANY OTHER OWNERS OF THIS SAME VEHICLE HAVE HAD THE SAME COMPLAINT AND ITS RARE THAT IT FUNCTIONS PROPERLY IN ANY OF THE VEHICLES. EVEN THOUGH MY VEHICLE IS OVER THE WARRANTY PERIOD I BELIEVE THAT THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD STAND BEHIND THEIR WORK AND CORRECT THIS PROBLEM. A RECALL IS DEFINITELY IN ORDER. *TR.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 124000 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):3GNEC12Z95G.
