Chevrolet Avalanche owners have reported 2 problems related to horn assembly (under the electrical system category). The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Pick a problem. Pin from transmission gears were too short from the manufacturer, causing the transmission to not shift properly. This repair was done at 8000 miles. 4 quarts. Low on oil within month of changing. No leaks and no explanation from the dealer as to where the oil went. A/c functioned improperly after truck surged at traffic light. Still no explanation. Remote entry works when it wants to. Interior lights pulse when truck idiling. Heater motor functions according to speed of vehicle, slow when braking and speeds up when accelerating. Drivers power window stopped functioning and started working the evening before taking it to the dealership for repair. Popping noise from exhaust just after starting and shutting off. From inside the vehicle while running I continuously hear cooling fluids flowing. Sometimes the horn does not function while the vehicle is turned off. Braking has always been a problem from day one. Always feels as there isn't enough brake pressure to stop in a normal distance. Along with the remote entry not working the personal presets for driver 1 most of the time do not operate with the remote entry. I have to select driver 1 from the interior to engage settings. Bed plastics are fading. Buttons for radio on the steering wheel and radio are flaking.

the dealer nor Chevrolet want to except any responsibility for this vehicle. . . . We are told that the noises(and vibration) from the suspension just standard for the vehicle. The back rotors had grooves was told no problem found. . When asked about the grooves they told us this was normal for "heavy duty" trucks. . Brakes. . Was told we should only expect to get 6-7 thousand miles. Dealer should tell you that when you purchase the vehicle. Most of the times when the brakes go bad there is no warning. . . I just had no brakes. . . This vehicle is not safe to drive after the last time I was unable to stop at an intersection I returned the vehicle to university motors. . . . . To date have heard nothing form university motors or Chevrolet. . . .
