Ignition Switch Problems of Chevrolet Avalanche

I am very disasified with the way the issue has been handled. I drive a 2010 Chevrolet Avalanche ltz with 111,000 miles on it. I purchased this vehicle in 2005 with 38,000 miles. A year later during the summer time I began to have electrical issues (while in motion vehicle guages start spazzing out going up and down, radio cuts in and out, door locks cycle up and down and vehicle stalls, doesnt seem to accelerate and shift into second gear. I have been stranded in the middle lane of the freeway traveling 60 miles per hour when suddenly it begins to act up. This is a major safety issue with three children in the vehicle and multiple cars driving at the same speed as I try to get over to the shoulder to shut off my vehicle but seems stuck in neutral preventing me from quickly getting off the free way. At times I will cycle the ignition key off and all power cuts out. I hear a clicking noise and lights flicker back on, which is my cue to cycle the ignition key back on. Sometimes it works and others it doesn't. At time power doesn't come back for at least 5 minutes. This occurs sporadically during the spring and summer times. I have taken it to the dealership where they were unable to diagnose the problem, stating they couldnt duplicate the problem. They assumed the ignition switch so that was changed but problem continued. I contacted Chevrolet where they opened a case but it troubles me that they work on a case by case and stated they arent aware of multiple similar complaints. Vehicle was dropped off again where they still couldn't diagnose the problem but did research and found the cable may possibly be the reason so that is still pending. If this is so common and a major safety concerns on the highway why hasn't there been a recall for Chevrolet. I have attached a document sent from the dealership about the cables. Chevy needs to do something about the electrical.

Reference to gm's campaign #14v827000. Defective part 14696/ replacement part 14912. This is the ignition switch in which has caused deaths, etc. I would like to get this problem corrected before injuries occur. Due to the magnitude of gm's recalls I am afraid the recall notice will not be issued before causing me or my family bodily injury. How can I get the dealer to replace the switch ASAP? dewey barber Chevrolet is within 5 miles of my home. I have never received a recall notice.

I believe the same problem with the gm key/ignition switch is more common then what is being reported. The Avalanche 2003 has had the same loose ignition switch for years. Our key system has to be jiggled and forced to the start position 80 percent of the time. The ignition switch will also move the off position while the vehicle is moving and the key will fall out.

Had to muscle truck to shoulder of roadway and restart. Does this intermittently without warning. This is very dangerous situation.

Key ignition switch is loose and car will shut off while operating, key can be pulled out of ignition while running. If vehicle shuts off while operating then you loose control of brakes, steering, and electrical systems. Gm is denying there is a problem. My vehicle is proof that the problem exists and the chevy Avalanche 2003 has a problem.

Main ignition switch does not always supply power to all electronic equipment. When failure occurs the lights and alarms on the instrument panel do not function and the transmission fails to shift correctly. Switch has to be replaced.

Intermittent at highway speeds all warning lights come on. All dash gages zero out and the engine is non responsive to additional throttle. After pulling over and cycling the ignition off and back on the gages will intermittently reset and work properly. This was reported to local Chevrolet dealer. They duplicated the problem in a test drive and stated it was because of a after market auto start security system. The company that installed the auto start system checked it out and found nothing wrong with the install or the auto start hardware. I had them remove the auto start hard ware, the problem manifested again. I took it back to the Chevrolet dealer. They diagnosed the problem as the ignition switch. Removed and replaced switch.
