2007 Chevrolet Avalanche 1500 Engine Problems

“The vehicle, from the time it was new, had usually consumed about 0.5 quarts of oil each oil change, which I would consider normal. This condition began to worsen at approximately 60,000 miles to about 1.0 quarts per oil change. This condition continued to worsen, and at approximately 85,000 miles began to consume 1 quart of oil each 1,500 miles in city driving, and closer to 1,000 miles with significant highway driving. I contacted the dealership regarding this issue, and they replied that this amount of oil consumption would be considered normal. …”

“Vehicle used way too much oil. Oil consumption was extreme. Began to hear a ticking sound, while driving on expressway the lite up like a christmas tree. And smoke began to billow out the exhaust. Took it to dealer said I needed a new engine. Reading posts on line everyone is complaining of same issue. This should be remedied by manufacturer. Now car is sitting waiting to get an engine”

“This vehicle has had oil consumption problems since purchased. It runs out of oil 1500 miles after an oil change. Several consumer complaints have proved this is a very common problem and suggested reporting it to the epa. My truck now needs a new engine because of this common defect with the afm and bad lifters in the 2007 Chevrolet avalanches. It is completely abnormal for an engine to burn this much oil into the environment. Not to mention the consumers who are now being forced to replace engines due to this problem. It needs to be fixed.”

“It started with a ticking noise and when I took it for service they said that it was my lifters and to replace them it would cost 5-6 thousand, and that I might as well replace the engine. I later find out that this is common with all the 07 but the manufactory want recall or assist with replacement cost.”

“The contact owns a 2007 Chevrolet AVALANCHE 1500. While driving approximately 40 MPH, the check engine and low oil warning indicators illuminated. The contact observed that the oil was extremely low and the oil was topped off 1,500 miles prior. The vehicle was taken to a dealer, where it was diagnosed that the engine failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 60,000.”
