2003 Chevrolet Avalanche 2500 Problems

Brakes lines broke while in traffic at stop light. Manage to drive in low gear 1/2 block to repair shop. They replaced the lines

SITTING AT A STOP LIGHT THE BRAKES FAILED. HOLDING THE BRAKE WHILE WAITING FOR THE LIGHT TO CHANGE, THE PEDAL ALL OF A SUDDEN WENT TO THE FLOOR. WHEN I BEGAN MOVING I HAD TO KEEP THE TRUCK BELOW 30 MPH TO ALLOW THE BRAKES TO WORK WITH INCREASED STOPPING DISTANCE FACTORED IN. AFTER ABOUT A 5 MILE DRIVE HOME, CHECKED THE BRAKES AND NOTICED A LEAK FROM RUSTED BRAKE LINES NEAR THE DRIVER'S DOOR. TRUCK CANNOT BE SAFELY DRIVEN UNTIL RUSTED LINES ARE REPLACED. NO ABILITY TO MAKE A REGULAR STOP MUCH LESS AN EMERGENCY STOP IN THE PRESENT CONDITION.

2002-2009 CHEVROLET AVALANCHE REAR REMOVABLE WINDOW (FRAME). LOWER L/H SIDE (PASSENGER SIDE).PLASTIC FRAME SUBJECT TO SPLITTING IN TIME WITH HEAT AND SEPARATES AND PULLS AWAY EXPOSING TEMPERED GLASS.TEMPERED GLASS IS NOW IN CONTACT WITH SUPPORTING FRAME AND VULNERABLE TO SHATTERING FROM ROAD VIBRATION OR WORSE, COLLISION,THUS INJURING PASSENGER(S) INCLUDING INFANTS IN REAR SEAT .MY 2003 AVALANCHE FRAME BEGAN CRACKING EARLY 2007 AND IS NOW HAS A 1 1/2 INCH GAP.I ALONG WITH SEVERAL THOUSAND OWNERS (RESEARCH ON INTERNET), HAVE BROUGHT THIS MATTER OF DEFECTIVE MATERIALS TO GM AND CHEVROLETS ATTENTION ONLY TO BE TOLD "SORRY IT'S NOT COVERED".I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED AND RATHER ANGRY THAT GM WOULD NOT OFFER TO REPAIR OR EVEN REPLACE THESE OBVIOUSLY DEFECTIVE WINDOW FRAME ASSEMBLYS.ACCORDING TO MY RESEARCH WITH OTHER OWNERS UP TO 2009 MODEL YEAR, THIS DEFECT STILL EXISTS AND OWNERS THAT WERE FORTUNATE TO HAVE THEIRS REPLACED IF STILL UNDER WARRANTY HAVE REPORTED THAT THE REPLACEMENT HAS STARTED CRACKING JUST THE SAME! THIS IS PROOF THAT GM HAS DONE ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO IMPROVE/REPLACE INFERIOR MATERIALS THAT MADE THIS FRAME. *TR

CHEVROLET AVALANCHE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER FAILURES. OVER THE PAST 32 MONTHS THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER ON MY 2003 AVALANCHE HAS BEEN INTERMITTENTLY MALFUNCTIONING CAUSING THE SPEEDOMETER, FUEL, TEMP, OIL PRESSURE AND ALL OTHER GAUGES TO NOT OPERATE. AS OF 1/19/2008 ALL OF THE GAUGES ON THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER FAILED COMPLETELY. FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND CHEVROLET HAS ISSUED A EXTENSION OF THE WARRANTY TO 70,000 MILES FOR THIS SINGLE ISSUE BUT THIS IS A SAFETY RELATED PROBLEM THAT SHOULD BE TAKEN CARE OF UNDER A RECALL OF ALL VEHICLES WITH THIS INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. *TR
