| I am a soldier with 17yrs of active duty service and i was home over the weekend for the mlk weekend with my family. i leave monday morning about 0900am to return back to my home station and my truck was driving fine, i stopped at a red light to make a left turn and when the light turned green i accelerated to about 5-10mph then there was a clunking noise and my vehicle would not accelerate anymore it would just send the rpms up so i drifted off the road and put my vehicle in park because i just had my vehicle serviced. i checked all my fluids and they all were fine so i put my vehicle in reverse worked fine, selected drive and it wouldn't move, selected 3rd gear wouldn't move, selected 2nd gear truck would move, and selected 1st the truck would move. there i was with my wife and my 2 daughters and mother-n-law on the side of the road in nc, luckily we didn't get that far from my in-laws home and they called a local shop that towed my vehicle back to her home. i have always wanted an avalanche but i get on the computer and i start reading about other people who have had the same problem and that is shocking, and to happen under a 100k miles. this is not my 1st chevy vehicle i have owned as well, i have owned a chevy trailblazer ltz that the four wheeled drive went out on that i purchase for my wife, so i traded that in for the 07 trailblazer ss that my wife really loved and that vehicle ended having an electrical fire from the wiring harness and my vehicle sat down at the dealership for almost a month until i notified them that something has to happen in which they let me trade that vehicle in for a honda accord in which i haven't had any issues out of that my wife is currently driving. in my reading last night when i finally made it back home after borrowing a car from my nephew that just happens to be another honda accord and i see all these stories posted horrible. | |||
