Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I purchased a chevrolet avalanche 2003 model in june of 2003. since my ownership of the vehicle i have had cracking noises come from the car. i have taken it into the dealership on at least 6 different occasions, and they said the problem was with the crossmember. they needed to redrill and tighten the crossmember again. i searched the internet today (2-16-05) and seen at least 20 similar complaints from chevy avalanche owners. models ranging from 2002 up to 2005. obviously general motors has made no effort to correct the problem. i feel that this is now a saftey risk as if it comes loose it can injure or kill other people on the road.*ak
