2004 Chevrolet Avalanche 1500 z71 review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The radio stopped working at 1500 miles; then, there was a transmission problem at 3800 miles (dealer solved the problem.)
However, the problem recurred 3 days later. According to the dealer, it is caused by a factory defect on the transmision valve body. They put a new one on, but the same problem persists.
This doesn't happen with Japanese vehicles at (only) 1500 miles!
General comments?
This car is seriously quick and handles like it's on rails.
