Four problems related to electrical system have been reported for the 2011 Chevrolet Avalanche. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Just purchased the vehicle 3 days ago and the dealership is telling me I bought the car as is and there's three recalls on it and they are they're refusing to fix what it needs to be fixed do they have the right to do that and just because I bought the car as is.
Air bag service light is on the truck will surge with no warning cause the instrument to black out and would cause the truck to stop check engine light is on with no key and control on the steering not functional.
Tl-the contact owns a 2011 Chevrolet Avalanche. The contact stated that the dashboard is creaked on the passenger front left side around the air bag and the driver left side of the steering wheel. The vehicle as taken to the dealer but was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 35,273. Aw.
I was in line at a drive through at burger king and as I pulled up to the cashier¿s window to pay for my food the engine started to accelerate. I put my foot on the brakes as hard as I could while the truck was shaking and lurching trying to go forward. I can¿t say for sure how high the tachometer was, but it seemed to almost peg for a few seconds while this was going on. Finally I jammed the transmission into neutral and the engine returned to normal idle. I say jammed because it took great strength to get it out of drive. For about 10-15 seconds this truck was totally out of my control. I drove away and parked for a few minutes to gather myself as I was visibly shaken. . I was thankful that no one was in front of me in at burger king or that I was not in a parking lot somewhere where someone could have been injured or killed. I had brought this vehicle in more than once to the dealer (rk cheverolet) and complained about the transmission not shifting properly and was always told they could not find a problem. After reporting this they decided to put a device to monitor the computer. I drove around with this for about 3 months and nothing happened and they said the data collected was inconclusive. Since the truck had just went out of warranty they said they could not do anymore. This is totally unacceptable.
