Two problems related to manifold/header/muffler/tail pipe have been reported for the 2006 Chevrolet Avalanche. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
I was recently involved in an accident where I passed out while operating my vehicle. I believe that carbon monoxide poisoning was the contributing factor that caused this accident. Faulty exhaust manifold fasteners seems to be an issue that could have caused this accident. I was shocked to see that there is no recall for this problem. I have incurred numerous personal expenses due to the accident, but feel lucky that there were no serious injuries or fatalities. I am writing this to call attention to the issue in hopes that you will do something to keep this from happening to someone else who might not be aware of the issue. I am disappointed that there has been no recall on this product. The vehicle is totaled, but could still be examined to find the cause.
The contact owns a 2006 Chevrolet Avalanche 1500. There are two flex/gas lines connected to the fuel regulators under the drivers seat. The lines have rubbed against each other; they are worn, and cause a friction that created a hole. The pump sprayed gas under the exhaust of the vehicle and it could cause a fire. The vehicle is being repaired by a local mechanic. The current and failure mileages were 40,000.
