2002 Chevrolet Avalanche 1500 Z71 review from North America
"Could have been a great vehicle, but it isn't"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Leaking water into the carpet from the mid-gate whenever it rains.
General comments?
This has been the only problem, but a serious one. The harder it rains, the more it leaks. We have even had standing water at one point. The dealership has had to seal the mid-gate and other areas they "think" the leak is coming from as well as replace the carpet under the front seats three times. They claim they are battling the manufacturing of the vehicle and can't fix it. We have contacted Chevy about this and have not received a call back.
