3 Check Engine Light On problem

Failure Date: 02/10/2012

Traveling at a normal rate and speed on a 5-lane highway. Vehicle loss power, engine lights activated. After maneuvering the vehicle off the highway, I shut the engine off. No signs of smoke or any leaks from engine (topside or underneath). I attempted to restart the vehicle and upon doing so the engine turned over and ran at a rough idle, clearly not on all 8 cylinders. I shut the engine off again. From that point on it was towed. The Chevrolet dealership (after 8 days and 449 miles later) then told me they could not find a problem. When they received the vehicle the original codes had been taken by a precision tune mechanic (nearest facility from location of break down) the dealership then informed me they could not duplicate the problem and was apologetic for any inconvenience. I received a bill for $103. 95 and my vehicle which had only a 1/8 of a tank of fuel. After a little research I found gm recall no:08048 consequence: may cause electrical features to malfunction. Thanks Chevrolet and Chevrolet service technicians for taking care of your customers. Unfortunately their dealerships and district specialist do not follow their own executive director of safety who is quoted on the gm website "we always want to make sure customers can count on the safety and quality of their gm vehicle.

4 Check Engine Light On problem

Failure Date: 01/04/2011

Date of current incidents: 1/3/11; 1/4/11; 7/28/11; 8/23/11; 9/07/11; 12/9/11; 12/16/11; 6/4/12; 6/10/12 and 6/11/12 and 6/l7/12. The engine light comes on; engine reduce power light, stabilizer tract light comes on plus oil light and other lights. I have had it in the shop to try to figure out why my Avalanche keeps breaking down. And I was told that they can not find a problem. I was never informed that they have had probems with the wiring. In December 2011 my Avalanche shut itself off during a snow storm. Eventually, it started but because of reduced power it would only go between 35-45 miles per hour. I made it to a repair shop, they could not find a problem, but replaced sensors and/or relays. In June 2012 the lights came on, I could only go approx 35-40 miles per hour. Called and set up an appointment. On the way to the appointment the engine oil light came on and the car shut down. I had to call for a tow truck. I took it to a non dealer service repair shop, because they were the closest. When they looked the car over the wires were eaten. I was informed that the newer cars have a soy base in their wiring and that the rodents love to eat this product. Why are they using this soy based wiring? this is not safe. I can not have my vehicle break down leaving me stranded on the side of the road. It is getting very costly when parts are being replaced when it is the wiring that is faulty. I live in the country and I can not keep the mice out of my truck. Please look into why the car manufactures are using this product which is causing major safety and financial concerns why aren't the manufactures informing the public of this problem.
