2004 Chevrolet Avalanche 1500Visitor, Trenton, MI, December 27, 2012 09:11I am a pilot car for the oversize loads and travel all over the country. I currently have 360,000 miles on my Avalanche and it is still in great shape. I have had trouble with the instrument cluster (speedometer not working). Have also had trouble with the heating/cooling functions. Other than that, it has held up well.Flag ThisLike | 1 person likes this1

2002 Chevrolet Avalanche 1500Visitor, East Glacier Park, MT, November 24, 2012 15:48I absolutely love my 02, Brakes are a slight downer but I absolutely love this vehicle. The plastic cladding is a lifesaver in campus parking lots, and when they fade just slap a coat of Refinish Restore on it and its good to go. I put a Cold Air Intake in it and a cat back exhaust and it howls, sadly im pushing 120,000 miles, but I might turn it into a million mile chevy just because I cannot bear to part with itFlag ThisLike0

2002 Chevrolet Avalanche 1500Visitor, Spartanburg, SC, May 30, 2012 05:39For about a month my truck has been cutting back while driving on the interstate when I press the gas petal. I thought that I solved the problem when I had a full tune-up, and I replaced the fuel filter. The problem continues to exist but just not as bad as it was. What should I do next?Flag ThisLike0

2006 Chevrolet Avalanche 1500Visitor, Granite Falls, NC, January 02, 2012 17:42Use Mobile 1 synthetic oil, at 119,000 miles low oil pressure sensor light came on, had checked at Auto Zone, said oil clean and levels correct. Recommended purchasing new sensor. Started home and within two miles truck locked up. I had someone's driveway blocked and had to restart engine to move the vehicle. Engine locked up due to oil pump failure and had to be replaced. Now I only get 10 to 12 mpg on new engine. I thought the sensor was supposed to shut your vehicle down to prevent the engine from locking up.Flag ThisLike0

2005 Chevrolet Avalanche 1500Visitor, Kila, MT, November 13, 2011 19:23I love my Chevy Avalanche, it is the most versatile vehicle I've ever owned but I have one complaint. It is on my mind right now as winter is beginning. In the winter the tailgate freezes closed and when I do get the door loose, the latch freezes so the tailgate falls open when I drive. Sometimes the handle frrezes so I can't operate it to open the tailgate. If anyone has suggestions, I'd love to see them.Flag ThisLike | 1 person likes this1

2002 Chevrolet Avalanche 1500garber2007, New Paris, OH, November 30, 2010 00:27I love my Avalanche and would get another one if I got another truck. I love all of the little compartments and features of it, and especially the factor truck cover. The compartments in the side are great for in the winter to keep an Ice Scraper in so that you can just open it up and start cleaning off your truck! I love it! The only problem I have had is with the braking system, which includes the emergency brake and the regular brakes. The regular brakes wear through faster than most vehicles.EnthusiastFlag ThisLike | 1 person likes this1

2002 Chevrolet Avalanche 1500Visitor, Blountstown, FL, August 08, 2010 16:12I loved my 2002 Avalanche! When the miles started getting high (80,000) I decided to trade for a new one. I'm a female and spend alot of time on the highway long distances. Soooo disappointed in the new ones! They don't have the compartments the older models have and the leather seats aren't nearly as comfortable! Really miss my '02Flag ThisLike | 3 people like this3

I use it as a daily driver and for scuba to securely load all my dive gear in. just minor issues so for headlight burned out and multifunction switch (turn signal - wipers - cruise control) broke but was covered under warranty. I will buy another!Flag ThisLike0

2002 Chevrolet Avalanche 1500ulamay, Ketchikan, AK, May 12, 2009 10:57I too love my Avalanche. Love the compartments and the factory back cover to keep things dry and how you have the option of just removing one panel if thats all you need. The only draw back/complaint I do have is the problems with the brake system including the emergency brake. I really feel this is a Chevy problem since I am not the only one having this type of issue.EnthusiastFlag ThisLike0

2003 Chevrolet Avalanche 1500Steve-Philly, Marcus Hook, PA, April 11, 2009 20:30I love my 2003. I have made several upgrades that makes it eveb better with great gas miles. The one thing I don't live is that the drive side fog light burns out about every other month. I also notice we I see other ones that this same light is out on thier truck too. I think it's a Chevy problem. The self leveling thing is a little bit of a pain in the a$$ when towing. Other then that I tell everyone to buy one. My brother bought one after seeing mine. GREAT Truck! I wish Chevy could make more like it.RookieFlag ThisLike | 2 people like this2
