Consumer Description

2002 AVALANCHE WITH 81,000 MILES AT THE TIME OF THE FAILURE...STARTED A FEW MONTHS AGO WITH A VERY LIGHT HUM IN THE BACK END. ON 12/8/05 MADE SEVERAL LARGE CLUNKING NOISES AND DIED (STOPPED TURNING). THE GARAGE STATED THAT A MAIN BEARING HAD BROKEN APART SENDING METAL THROUGHOUT THE REAR AXLE AND DESTROYED THE DRIVE SYSTEM. $2000.00 JOB TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE BACK AXLE DRIVE SYSTEM WITH A USED ONE. MECHANIC SAID NO REASON FOR THAT TO HAPPEN WITH THIS VEHICLE AND SUGGESTED I SPEAK WITH THE DEALER BEFORE I HAD THE WORK DONE. DEALER DID NOTHING EXCEPT QUOTE ME $3000.00 FOR THE SAME REPAIR AND SAME USED PART. *NM
