After washing my 2007 avalanche the seatbelt on the passenger side exploded and my brakes started to fluctuate and make a spring noise. This all happened as I drove away from the car wash.

Vehicle has 120,000 miles on it and has a random misfire, with traction control and stabiltrack warnings and a flashing check engine light. Engine has excessive oil consumption and runs rough. Installed new plugs and wires, no change. After reading up on these engines I found out that the afm / dod feature is a common failure for these engines. Gm should step up and help owners with some of the repair costs. This is going to be expensive.

Stabilty light came on, loss of power, check engine light, rough shifting into 2 gear. It has been down for 2 years. And not fixed yet, chevy dealership does not know what tpo do. There needs tobe a recall on the flex fuel. We were going down I-20 when all this happened. There was nearly an accident

Stabilitrak and reduced engine power comes on at rates of sometimes 3-4 times per day. No common denominator I.e. Weather, road conditions, time of year..can be driving down interstate at 70 MPH or sitting idle in park. This is very dangerous when driving loved ones around. Unfortunately I've gone as far as having a diagnostic computer hooked up at all times so I can clear the computer every time it happens in order to drive again. I've had the throttle body cleaned, changed. Computer changed and reset twice...nothing has helped. This has been happening for years someone needs to address this before someone is severely injured or worse

We were driving down i20 when we were coming off the off ramp and the stabilization light came on and we got to the stop sign to turn right and as were take off it shifted really bad out into 2nd it jerked really bad and we had no power we made it home and now it turns over but will not start. 2007 avalance it has 50,000 miles. I have been talking to other people on car gurus and there are thousand on that sight having the same problem were having. And the sad thing is we dont have the money to have our truck towed into town and get it fixed. Becasue they tells us that they have so many people having the same problem. I feel like gm should do a recall or people should be able to do a group lawsuit toward gm for such a big deal like this is. And also our dashes are all cracked down the middle. Which on that sight there are alot having same issue.

Stability control warning pops up on display, resulting in a severe power reduction. This causes the vehicle speed to drop from 70 MPH to around 35mph instantly. This nearly resulted in a rear end collision, of course. This was only prevented by a very alert driver behind me. I read that this is a very common issue with gm vehicles yet nothing is being done by gm to provide a safety recall

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 chevrolet avalanche. While driving approximately 60 MPH, the traction control warning indicator illuminated, and the steering wheel and engine began to shake uncontrollably. The odometer speed reduced drastically on its own. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, but was not diagnosed. The manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. The approximate failure mileage was 142,000.

There have been continual problems with the engine of my truck and I have found out since buying it there are severe problems with a lot of the engines of the 2007 avalanche. The mechanic told me when we brought the truck in to find out why the engine had a hesitation in it, that we should hope it was the exhaust system seals needing to be replaced that caused the hesitation because the only other times he had seen this problem it was a manufacturing defect in the 2007 gmc engines that he had seen these problems with alot of the 2007 chevy and gmc trucks including his own. We also about 2 months after buying the truck noticed that the truck was going through oil very quickly but the mechanic said that the seals weren't leaking so didn't know why we were burning oil so fast. The dash has cracked at the corner of the air bag and if there is an accident it could send shards flying. The drivers door sticks and the stability control go's in and out of working order. The electric mirrors stopped folding in and tilting down and tried to have it fixed but chevrolet said they wouldn't give the mechanic the code to get into the computer system to fix it and the back up sensor that had stopped working also. We now have to go to a chevrolet dealership to have it fixed. There have been so many problems with these trucks that chevrolet hasn't fixed these trucks even used usually cost at least $15000 brand new you could double or triple that price I don't think it's a lot to ask to have a decent engine the other problems I could deal with but the engine problem they should fix
