2006 Chevrolet Avalanche Complaints

HEATED SEAT COMES ON BY ITSELF ALL THE TIME. IT HAS BURNED MY FATHER'S REAR END. I CHECKED IT OUT AND IT CAME ON 12 TIMES IN 5 MINUTES. MY FATHER IS OLDER AND DID NOT REALIZE HE WAS BURNING UNTIL IT WAS TOO LATE. I WAS TOLD BY THREE DIFFERENT DEALERS THAT THERE ARE NO SAFETY RECALLS FOR THIS. UPON READING HELP FORUMS, I DISCOVERED THEY DO HAVE A RECALL. I AM WAITING FOR A RESPONSE BEFORE I TAKE ANY FURTHER ACTIONS. THANK YOU

DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD THE TRUCK ENGINE WILL BE RUNNING WITH NO ABNORMAL SOUNDS, SMELLS, LEAKS BUT WILL ACT AS IF NOT IN GEAR. RPM'S WILL REV BUT TRUCK WILL NOT MOVE. ONLY AFTER PUTTING TRUCK IN PARK (LOTS OF GRINDING NOISES) THEN PRESSING THE 4WHEEL BUTTON THEN BACK TO 2WHEEL (SOMETIMES THROUGH TWO CYCLES) THE TRUCK WILL BACK INTO GEAR AND OPERATE PROPERLY. TOOK IT TO A TRANSMISSION SHOP PUT IT ON THE DIAGNOSTIC MACHINE AND NO ERROR CODES WERE GIVEN TO GIVE REASON WHY THE TRANSFER CASE DISENGAGES RANDOMLY. REPLACED THE TRANSFER SWITCH PER SHOP RECOMMENDATION "JUST IN CASE"IT WAS OKAY FOR ABOUT A MONTH THEN ONCE AGAIN ISSUES STARTED AGAIN JUST THE SAME AS BEFORE.

THE AIRBAG INDICATOR LIGHT IS ON AND OFF. TOOK IT TO SERIVE CENTERS THE LIGHT CAME OFF FOR A WEEK THEN CAME BACK AGAIN. MECHANIC TOLD ME THE SPRING COUL NEEDS TO BE REPLACED GOT IT REPLACED BUT THE PROBLEM IS STILL THE SAME. WHEN ITHE WEATHER IS COLD THE LIGHTS COMES OFF WHEN ITS WARM THE LIGHTS ARE ONE TOLD THE MECHANICS THEY SAID ITS THE CONNECTION THEY TRIED TO FIX LIGHT WILL COME OF FOR A FEW DAYS THEN BACK AGAIN. THE SECOND PROBLEM IS THE ENGINE LIGHT - THEY TOLD ME ITS THE FUEL EJECTION PUMP GOT IT REPLACED BUT NOT RESOLVED. I KEEP TAKING TTHE TRUCK BACK TO THE SERVICE CENTERS BUT AFTER A WEEK THE LIGHT INDICATORS ARE ON. I ALSO FAILED MY INSPECTIONS DUE TO THIS PROBLEM. THE ONLY REASON I PASS IS THAT IT HAS TO BE FIXED BUT AFTER INSPECTION THE LIGHTS ARE ON AGAIN. I HAVE READ ALL COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEMS BUT GMC MOTORS DOESN'T HAVE AN ACTIVE RECALL FOR IT ITS JUST A COMMUNICATION STATING THE PROBLEM. THE TRUCK IS STILL RUNNING BUT THIS SAFETY ISSUE NEEDS TO BE RESOLV...
