2006 Chevrolet Avalanche Complaints

REAR BRAKE LINES BURST WHILE I WAS IN MOTION. I WAS GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND HAD TO USE THE GEARS TO SLOW DOWN. THEY WERE CORRODED THROUGH. SAME THING HAPPENED IN 2016 WITH MY FUEL PUMP LINE CORRODED THROUGH. WAS LEAKING WHILE I WAS DRIVING. DID NOT NOTICE FOR A FEW DAYS UNTIL THERE WAS PUDDLES OF GAS WHERE I PARK. OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS MY CLADDING HAS BEEN FALLING OFF FROM RUST THROUGH ON THE BOTTOM SECURE POINTS.

BRAKE LINES RUSTING OUT ON THESE AUTOS

I PURCHASED THE 2006 VEHICLE USED IN DEC 2013. IN 2014 THE TRANSMISSION WENT BAD. IN 2015 I REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION AND BRAKE PADS & ROADERS.2016 REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP BECAUSE IT ALSO WENT BAD, REPLACED TIRES (NORMAL WEAR), BOUGHT A NEW BATTERY BECAUSE IT DIED. 2017 IT NEEDED TWO HUB BEARING AND BOTH FRONT WHEEL HUB REPLACED. THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE! I JUST FOUND OUT MY AIR BAG SENSOR WILL NEED TO BE REMOVED AND REPLACED. ALL MY MONEY HAS BEEN FLUSHED DOWN TO THIS VEHICLE. I DON'T RECOMMEND ANYONE BUYING A CHEVY TRUCK.

TRANSMISSION SLIPPING. WHEN TRAVELING AT SHIFT POINT 1-2, 2-3 THE ENGINE RPMS SUDDENLY INCREASE THEN RETURN TO NOMINAL SPEED. THE MILEAGE IS WAY TO LOW FOR THIS BEHAVOIR. I BELIEVE GM SHOULD ISSUE (OR PAY FOR) THE PARTS (THE TOUGHENED OR IMPROVED PARTS) TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM OR RE-REIMBURSE THE CURRENT OWNER FOR THE RETAIL COST OF THE GM (IMPROVED) PARTS IF THE OWNER CHOOSES TO HAVE THE WORK DONE ELSE WHERE. THE SHIFTING ACTION IS NOT FIRM, IT'S SLOPPY. AT TIMES YOU CAN'T FEEL THE SHIFT IN THE CONVENTIONAL WAY BUT YOU CAN HEAR IT.

BRAKES FAILED COMING TO TRAFFIC LIGHT. PEDAL WENT TO FLOOR. WENT HALF WAY THRU BEFORE TRUCK STOPPED. INSPECTED AND FOUND REAR BRAKE STEEL LINE HAD RUSTED THRU AND HAD A HOLE. BRAKES SHOULD NOT RUST THRU IN ONLY TEN YEARS,
