Consumer Description

I PURCHASED A CHEVROLET AVALANCHE 2003 MODEL IN JUNE OF 2003. SINCE MY OWNERSHIP OF THE VEHICLE I HAVE HAD CRACKING NOISES COME FROM THE CAR. I HAVE TAKEN IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP ON AT LEAST 6 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS, AND THEY SAID THE PROBLEM WAS WITH THE CROSSMEMBER. THEY NEEDED TO REDRILL AND TIGHTEN THE CROSSMEMBER AGAIN. I SEARCHED THE INTERNET TODAY (2-16-05) AND SEEN AT LEAST 20 SIMILAR COMPLAINTS FROM CHEVY AVALANCHE OWNERS. MODELS RANGING FROM 2002 UP TO 2005. OBVIOUSLY GENERAL MOTORS HAS MADE NO EFFORT TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. I FEEL THAT THIS IS NOW A SAFTEY RISK AS IF IT COMES LOOSE IT CAN INJURE OR KILL OTHER PEOPLE ON THE ROAD.*AK
