NHTSA Complaint #10055071 — 2002 CHEVROLET AVALANCHE

MY 2002 CHEVROLET AVALANCHE HAS SEVERAL PROBLEMS. FIRST THE REAR WINDOW AND MID TAILGATE LEAKS INTO THE PASSENGER AREA. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER 4 TIMES NOW AND IT IS STILL DOING THE SAME THING. THERE IS MOISTURE IN THE DAYTIME DRIVING LIGHTS THAT WILL NOT GO AWAY. THE RT REAR SEAT BELT LATCH IS HARD TO LATCH WITHOUT SOMEONE HELPING THE PASSENGER THAT SITS IN THAT SEAT. I HAVE 17 INCHE TIRES WITH A 16 INCH SPARE HOW SAFE IS THAT??? I HAVE OIL CONSUMPTION AT LEAST 1 QUART PER 1,000 MILES VEHICLE ALSO BLOWS BLACK, BLUE AND WHITE SMOKE. THEY ARE DOING A CONSUMPTION TEST NOW. THE UNIVERSAL JOINT POPS WHEN CHANGING FROM PARK TO REVERSE AND TO NEUTRAL AND BACK. THERE IS CLUNKING SOUND WHEN PULLING IN OR OUT OF A PARKING SPACE TURNING EITHER LEFT OR RIGHT. EMERGENCY BRAKE GOES ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND DOES NOT WORK. I HAVE HAD TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES AND IT SEEMS NOTHING GETS FIXED.*AK
