| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I recently purchased a used 2002 chevrolet avalanche 2500hd 4x4 with a 8.1 litre engine. the vehicle has approximately 51,000 miles on it. the first problem i noticed was that the engine would crank, but it would not start immediately. the next problem i experienced was that the engine shut off while i was driving it. this resulted in loss of power steering and power brakes, but more importantly, i was not able to maintain the posted 55 mph limit, and i had to dodge traffic while trying to steer my "dead" vehicle onto the shoulder. the vehicle did restart and i was able to resume as before. this has happened to me at least 4 times. thus far after 3 trips to the dealer, they have not been able to repeat, diagnose, or repair this problem. *jb |
