| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I own a 2005 avalanche with 2000 miles on it. when turning sharply while in 4 wheel drive, going forward or in reverse, the truck bogs down and stops. there is nothing in the owners manual about this. this is a dangerous condition for someone who does not realize what will happen. if i were to make a u turn the vehicle will come to a stop if the wheels are turned two sharply. my dealer did not even know about this untill i brought it to his attention.the dealer went out on his lot and drove an avalanche in 4 wheel drive to determine if i was nuts or not. well i am not nuts as thiers did exactly what i said. the dealer then contacted general motors and was told this condition is normal so the u joints and gear box will not be damaged. if they say it is normal to lock up why don't they put it the owners manual? someone is going to be seriously hurt over this condition and it will be more than u joints or gear box. |
