general problems of the 2006 Chevrolet Avalanche

Two problems related to electronic stability control have been reported for the 2006 Chevrolet Avalanche. The most recently reported issues are listed below.

1 Electronic Stability Control problem

Failure Date: 04/10/2018

Driving down the road the truck engine will be running with no abnormal sounds, smells, leaks but will act as if not in gear. Rpm's will rev but truck will not move. Only after putting truck in park (lots of grinding noises) then pressing the 4wheel button then back to 2wheel (sometimes through two cycles) the truck will back into gear and operate properly. Took it to a transmission shop put it on the diagnostic machine and no error codes were given to give reason why the transfer case disengages randomly. Replaced the transfer switch per shop recommendation "just in case"it was okay for about a month then once again issues started again just the same as before.

2 Electronic Stability Control problem

Failure Date: 07/21/2015

Driving 35mph on dry road. 2wd jump out of gear acted like went into neutral I had no drive or any of my gears came to a complete stop with no warning. Went to put in park it grind with loud noise. Only way to get truck to move was to put in 4wd.
