Problems with 2002 Chevrolet Avalanche 1500 STEERING

Engine stall with loss of steering and brakes when turning from tower oaks st onto jones road, a busy 4 lane road. car stopped in oncoming lane on jones road, just avoiding a head on collision. crankshaft sensor failure. had car towed to dealer who infomed me that there was no recall on the crankshaft sensor of the chevrolete avalanche paid dealer $540. for cransshaft sensor replacement. have not had a stalling problem sence replacing the cranshaft sensor. this is a very dangerous situation and can cause severe accidents as the loss of steering and brakes is critical.

The vehicles governor shut the vehicle off at 97mph while going around a corner which made the steering wheel lock up and made the brakes not work. two people where life flighted to hospitals with various injuries... no air bags deployed at all... the first impact in the accident was to the side of the vehicle. injuries sustained included multiple fractures of the spine of the driver from being ejected almost 40 feet passed where the truck had come to a rest. the debris path was over 150 ft. long and the truck left the road because it could not turn then struck a stop sign and totally uprooted the stop sign including the cement cinder block under the ground which sent the truck in a death roll. then the truck continued forward into a utility poles guide wire which dropped the pole on top of the truck as well as the wires. then continued forward some more in which it came to a rest against a cedar tree. *tr

While driving thru a parking lot after picking up my lunch, the food began to fall which i took my eyes off driving to catch it. when i looked up i saw light pole in front of me and when i pushed my brakes, it felt like the pedal went straight to the floor. its like i pushed so hard i overpowered the system. when i backed away from the pole the brakes felt fine. i hit the pole which in turn caused cosmetic damage along with breaking the steering box because the tire hit the cement base. also we found the brake fluid level sensor had broken at the fluid reservoir. *tr

02' chevy avalanche 60k miles, i purchased this truck in nov.2010 it is jan. 2011 not more then 45 days after purchase, the steering is progressively getting worse, grinding noise, turning noise, unbearable to drive and dangerous to drive. contacted dealer to correct, dealer has not confirmed what will be done yet? this is not normal wear and tear type of issue, factory recall type of issue. *tr

I have a chevrolet 2002 avalanche. there was a lot of clicking and clacking in my steering. i had the front end checked and realigned several times. finally a chevy service manager identified a consistent problem with the chevrolet. there is a linkage in the steering that is categorized as a shaft #19153614 that was not correctly designed when manufactured. according to the chevy service manager chevy had to redesign the shaft to correct the problem. due to the fact that the part was not designed properly originally i requested gm customer service to cover the cost of $201.95 cost. they had some foreigner from the phillipines call me to tell me they would not stand behind this material and workmanship failure. it seems to me to be a safety issue that general motors is sweeping under the rug. the service manager advised that they have had to replace many of these shafts. thank you. *tr
