Three problems related to power train have been reported for the 2009 Chevrolet Avalanche. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Engine dies, door locks start opening and closing, all dash lights go off, radio goes off,car starts on own 3 to 6 seconds, did this at 60 mph and at 15 mph.
I was driving to a church function with my wife and about 30mph under acceleration, my truck started lugging like it was in 6th gear. It started shaking then the tachometer was flucuating up and down about 500 rpm's. I checked the transmission fluid and looked good. I have a very important business trip tomorrow morning and now I am stuck. I took it for another drive to see if the problem occured at a higher speed and it does. I put the cruise on about 60mph and the truch was bucking and the rpm's were going crazy. I drive mostly highway miles. Very dissapointed in the service I have had with this truck so far with another issue and now I have to deal with this.
The contact owns a 2009 Chevrolet Avalanche. The contact stated that the vehicle was parked on a slight incline when a loud bang was heard and the vehicle began to roll away, in reverse. The rear tail lights were illuminated as the vehicle rolled away before crashing into a body of water. The vehicle was destroyed. The contact's insurance company inspected the vehicle and determined that the failure was either contributed to the park pole or the teeth fracturing in the transmission. The VIN was not available. The failure mileage was unknown.
