| On 12/22/12 @ 5pm- shortly after entering onto the freeway, i started losing power. i didn't get higher than 50 mph before the rpm started increasing & my speed started decreasing. i got off the freeway, at the first exit, approximately 2mis after the beginning of the loss of power. found a mechanic that was just closing his shop & asked him to give a quick check too see if i could continue my drive home, 32mis away. the mechanic checked under the hood & under the bottom & guesstimated the problem to be the flywheel. the mechanic also recommended no driving til repaired. i got my avalanche towed home that first night. i towed it to my local auto repair shop on 12/24/12, to get a full diagnostic. i was advised by my local mechanic that my 2005 avalanche w/ 96319 mis, needs a new transmission. my local mechanic advised it may still be under warranty due to mileage, but i have since found out the warranty is 5yr/100000mi. gm is aware of premature transmission failure on the avalanche, but is not fixing it for the consumer. something needs to be done to protect the consumer! | |||

| The spare tire release is impossible to operate unless there are two people around. after 7 years of corrosion and rust the release mechanism wont release the tire. this is hazardous should you have a flat at 3am on the side of the highway. | |||
