Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“When driving my Avalanche on a highway, as I approached a red light, I pushed my brake and it went to the floor board. I pumped my brakes to stop and I felt a pulsation as I pushed the brake pedal again and I could brake. This happens intermittantly. I have seen complaints about this on the internet. It should be investigated because Chevrolet wants me to pay for this problem.”
NHTSA complaint #10839898, filed 2016-03, 100 miles“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.”
NHTSA complaint #11396172, filed 2021-02, 100,000 miles“Own a 2007 Chevrolet Avalanche 5.3l flex fuel v8 4x4. Recently when starting it, it turned over longer than normal, and then started with RPM gauge still at 0 RPM's. Then put in reverse, and it said stabilitrack is off and needs servicing soon. Truck started moving backwards, and then seemed as if the brakes were applied, wheels simply would not move backwards. Tried to movie it back and forth several times. Thought brakes were applied or transfer case or axle or differential had issues. …”
