Problems with 2005 Chevrolet Avalanche 1500 EQUIPMENT

2005 avalanche speedometer failure. speedometer will not return to zero and will not give correct vehicle speed. found numerous customers with same failure. this is obviously a manufacturer defect. not knowing vehicle speed is a safety hazard. *tr

I took my son to school and after i drop him off,my speedometer stopped working! it was saying i was going 120 miles an hour! i call the dealership them told oh they go out all of the time? *tr

Anytime i turn the air on in my 2005 chevy avalanche it makes a high pitch screaming sound. i have had two blower motors installed and it is in need of a third. this sound is still present even after i have had the new motors installed. i have had one mechanic say their is a crack in the plenum box and it would take 11 1/2 hours to repair and cost $ 1700. this is the only quote i have had so far. i have had it at the dealership where i bought it and they never seem to find anything, then again they seldom do anything right. *tr

On june 12th, 2005, i purchased a 2005 chevy avalanche for my wife from bill heard chevrolet in sanford, florida. the morning after taking delivery of unit, i noticed the vehicle had problems. the vehicle would not stop/brake properly, the tires were rubbing into the front fenders and the front end wandered and pulled to the left. i called the dealership that day and spoke with the salesman. it took the dealership almost three weeks to get my vehicle into their repair facility. they had addressed there were problems with the vehicle, but they did nothing to fix the vehicle. i then returned to the dealership a week later stating my concerns to the service manager. the service manager verified the problems with the vehicle. on this visit nothing was fixed again. a week after this incident, i brought the vehicle to another chevy dealership. this dealership stated and verified the vehicle does have problems, but there was no fix for it. this dealership also stated there was a recall on this vehicle for the last five months, and stated the selling dealership never fixed the recall. again the vehicle was not repaired for the problems, but the recall was now completed by this dealership. i called the selling dealership and spoke with the service manager, the sales manager, the customer service manager, the salesman as well as others to try to have the vehicle repaired or had the purchase voided to receive my money back. no one in this dealership will help me. i then called general motors (corporate) and filed a complaint. they will not help me. today i have filed a complaint with the better business bureau, and now with your agency. i am seeking help because i feel this is a very unsafe vehicle for my family to be in. *jb

Dt: the contact owns a 2005 chevrolet avalanche 1500. the contact stated that the gm dealership has tried several times to repair the vibration and humming noise coming from air conditioner. however, gm manufacturer wrote a letter to the dealership, telling them to stop all attempts to repair this vehicle until they come up with a solution for this type of problem. the contact has been having this problem for a couple of years. he stated that one could feel a humming noise in the steering wheel when driving. this occurred all the time when the air conditioner was turned on. if the air conditioner was off then one would not hear this noise. *ak *nm
