I HAVE HAD SEVERAL ISSUES WITH MY 2003 CHEVORLET AVALANCHE Z71 ONLY 62,000 MILES. MY PROBLEMS STARTED AROUND 8,000 MILES WITH THE REAR BRAKES GOING BAD. I HAVE REPLACED THE FRONT AND REAR BRAKES FOUR (4) TIMES SINCE I HAVE OWNED IT. THE ABS SPEED SENSORS HAVE BEEN REPLACED ONCE AND NEED REPLACED AGAIN. THE SPEEDOMETER IS STUCK AT 120 MPH, THE U JOINTS HAVE BEEN REPLACED AND NOW THE TRANSMISSION HAS GONE OUT. I FEEL THAT CHEVORLET SHOULD FIX THESE PROBLEMS UNDER A WARRANTY/RECALL. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
ELECTRONIC DOOR LOCKS HAVE FAILED ON THREE OF THE 4 DOORS ON THIS TRUCK. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON DUE TO CODE P0452, WHICH IS FUEL TANK PRESSURE SENSOR DEFECTIVE. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY AND IT WOULD COST AROUND $500 TO REPAIR. SPOKE WITH MY BROTHER-IN-LAW TODAY WHO HAS A 2002 AVALANCHE AND HE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH FUEL SENSOR AND HIS REPAIR WAS COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY. THE DOOR HANDLE OF MY VEHICLE IS PLATED IN CHROME. THIS CHROME IS NOW COMING UNDONE, AND IS RAZOR SHARP. *TR
