| The linear position of doors are irregular,the front fender is beyond usual meet. the plastic structure of the back is not in alignment with the body.the rear-view mirror vibrates which is a hazard at night, anyone can mistake the flickering as the cars changing lanes when not the case. since the doors are not properly aligned the wind,dirt and mist of water, bypasses the weather strip. there is overspray on black exterior paint. since it was up on a ramp the dealer said the only way i could see the inside or test drive was if i got pre-qualified ,that ended up been my sales contract! when the truck was lowered down they gave me the keys at 7pm which was dark in the fall, so it was very difficult to distinguish. repairs to the fuel pump, distortion of the windshield, the body defects,rear-view mirror, loud squealing brakes,the handles of the doors that has peeled and the steering wheels inner faces has also peeled. the stabilizer light came on when my fuel pump wentout and since then it does not stabilize the chassis when in contact with natural hazards such as rain, sand,s now and any type of uneven terrain. my tire pressure light appears periodically, although my tires are inflated with nitrogen. my right tail-lights linear position is irregular, but normal on the left side.my battery has gone dead on my once for no apparent reason. my gas cap indicator light also comes on periodically and it has been replaced a couple of time. my passenger front doors frame has a malformation where it makes the weather strip seem un even or falling off. a problem that still can't be repaired is the carpet that isn't fitted and is loose.unfortuneately, its very a attractive truck, but the experience has been a nightmare that i still cannot awake from. i want gm to acknowledge the occurring problem & buyback the truck. complaints began 09/01/06 and has been in the shop for extensive repairs 9 times & spent 60days & counting. *tr | |||

| Our new 2007 chevrolet avalanche was involved in a major accident (not our fault) and it sustained frame damage. after using a gm dealer for repairs to our vehicle and returning it three times it still was returned to us in an unsafe condition which put our family in a potentially position which could of caused another crash and injury or death. we decided to get our vehicle put on another frame machine for another opinion. the measurements were reported to be not within specifications and measure as follows. the frame has visible damage. the front section of the frame is swayed to the right. just behind the front bumper mounts the frame rails are swayed 12mm. to the right. at the control arm mounting points, the frame is also swayed 15mm to the right. it was recommended to re-frame this vehicle. we have been battling with our insurance company and roger dean chevy with several certified letters about putting our family in an unsafe position and they disregard our position and blame each. this leaves ourselves and the public in a situations which could cause a crash or worse if we choose to drive this vehicle with these defects. i can not believe a gm repair facility could get away with such repairs. not only once, twice, but three times we have brought this issue to their attention to no avail. please look into their repairs and the vehicles they send out on our streets to keep the public safe. *tr | |||
