Received a notice that my vehicle possibly had a recalled sunroof manufactured by hollandia at webasto product north america, inc. per the provided instructions, i was able to confirm that my car does have an aftermarket sunroof affected by the recall. since the vehicle has been taken oversees it would be impossible to send it to a service repair shop. please indicate what needs to be done in this case. | |||

My heating and air conditioning system does not function correctly. it has a mind of its own. it adjusts itself from hot to cold, cold to hot. it adjusts itself from low to high, high to low. occasionally when i shut of the truck and take the key out the heating/cooling system will remain on. i can't drive in cold weather particularly in the morning or when its raining afraid that my defroster/defogger wont work because of the problem. *tr | |||

1) i haven't replaced anything, or done anything that would cause this to happen. 2) a-problem that im experiencing is that when my avalanche is sitting still in the driveway the speedometer shows that i am doing 30 to 40 miles per hour. when i drive on the freeway it completely stops working and goes to over 120 mph. b-my drivers side window doesn't work either, the motor slowly started giving out about two months ago. now it doesn't work at all. it seems like many more chevy avalanche owners have the same issue; http://www.topix.net/forum/autos/chevrolet-avalanche/tji11lgm9554merna 3)the only thing i did for the window not working was check some fuses that were good. *nm | |||

Tl*the contact owns 2004 chevrolet avalanche. the contact was driving 55 mph when the rpms increased. the contact had difficulty switching gears and the vehicle lost power. the windshield wipers would not shut off unless the contact restarted the vehicle. the transmission and the water pump failed completely. the driver side door handle broke and the contact cannot get out of the vehicle unless she climbs over the passenger seat. the speedometer only displayed 10 and 20 mph whenever it was cold outside. the failure mileage was 23,965 and the current mileage was 97,323. | |||

Here's about my disappointment with my 2004 avalanche which i purchased on july 28, 2004 with 137 miles on the odometer. i purchased the value guard gm protection plan. of course, the vehicle was great for the first 37,990 miles. my first problem came on 10/31/06, only 2 years 3 months after purchase date. my tailgate handle broke while opening it handle replacement was $568. to my surprise and apparently also to the representative from the dealership the existing spoiler had to be torn off and replaced with a new one to access the handle. that was an additional $186 plus labor. i question the designers of the tailgate assembly. why would anyone design parts that would have to be destroyed in order to service another part? in fact, why would any part that would normally be used frequently by a regular trucker break so easily? of course, neither the warranty nor the gm protection plan covered this. the next problem occurred on 12/27/06 at 41,901 miles, my windshield wipers wouldn't shutoff. into the dealership we went and $334 later a wiper board was replaced. no warranty again covered this problem. i no sooner got home and had to return on 12/28/06 at 41,944 miles. now my dashboard light service 4 wheel drive was on. this time i was told the transfer case encoder shorted out and $779 later it was fixed. i might have used the 4-wheel drive 8-10 times at the most. at that time, i'd owned this vehicle for 29 months, that's pretty sad!! today with the latest episode, i tried to lower my front passenger side window and it wouldn't work. the other 3 windows work fine. i waited and tried again later still no luck. i hear a clicking sound but no action.this probably means another visit to the dealer. *nm | |||

Nuts retaining wiper arms to shaft loosened on both driver and passenger side causing wipers to not move. i tightened the nuts as a temporary fix and will replace with lock nuts.*ak | |||

1)windshield wipers will not turn off, and only work on 2 speeds. no variable. 2) i am unable to use wipers. from reading i need to take out fuse, and 3) have the circuit board replaced. seems to occur frequently enough to be posted on several forums. *nm |
