2007 Chevrolet Avalanche Engine problems

Traveling hiway on cruise. My 5.3l down shifted to accelerate to go up an incline. Shortly after that there was low to almost no power. Check engine light then came on. I was able to do 30mph on freeway to get it home. Took it to a local garage since gray Daniels chevy wouldn't service it since I recently transitioned to MS. The problem was the #4 lifter had collapsed. It costed me just shy of $4k out of pocket. I've read that this was a recall item for my vehicle, I was never notified. I would like to be compensated if this was indeed a recall item

Code p2128 code p2122 have replaced tps, throttle body, accelerator pedal (×3) and bypassed connectors with direct wiring from accelerator pedal to ecm continue to get codes with check engine light with decreased engine power, check stabilitrak, and stabilitrak disabled. Have to clear codes with bluedriver multiple times even while driving short distances and sometimes on start up.

I drove to work & parked my 2007 avalanche in my employers truck garage as I do every day. I went into the office attended a job briefing & we put on our coveralls for work then we got ready to leave to go to the 1st jobsite but as soon as the 1st two coworkers walked out of the shop they turned around yelling that my truck was on fire. I didn't believe them at 1st because I had just parked like 15 minutes prior. Parked & not running. Well I looked and my whole engine compartment was full of flames. We used 4 fire extinguishers to put the fire out & the fire department arrived to finish. My vehicle was totalled & I only had liability insurance.

Vehicle has 120,000 miles on it and has a random misfire, with traction control and stabiltrack warnings and a flashing check engine light. Engine has excessive oil consumption and runs rough. Installed new plugs and wires, no change. After reading up on these engines I found out that the afm / dod feature is a common failure for these engines. Gm should step up and help owners with some of the repair costs. This is going to be expensive. *Tr

Stabilty light came on, loss of power, check engine light, rough shifting into 2 gear. It has been down for 2 years. And not fixed yet, chevy dealership does not know what tpo do. There needs tobe a recall on the flex fuel. We were going down i-20 when all this happened. There was nearly an accident

Vehicle caught on fire, while parked in apartment parking lot, engine not running. Vehicle was parked for at least 30 minutes, before being notified that it was on fire.

I have been talking to other people on car gurus and there are thousand on that sight having the same problem were having. And the sad thing is we dont have the money to have our truck towed...

Stability control warning pops up on display, resulting in a severe power reduction. This causes the vehicle speed to drop from 70 mph to around 35mph instantly. This nearly resulted in a rear end collision, of course. This was only prevented by a very alert driver behind me. I read that this is a very common issue with gm vehicles yet nothing is being done by gm to provide a safety recall

Tl* takata recall. The contact owns a 2007 chevrolet avalanche 1500. The contact stated that there was a constant loss of speed and premature motor failure.

The 5.3 Engine has had many complaints from owners where the engine fails due to oil recirculation and valves going bad. The manufacturer will not do anything to replace the engines. The engine starts running extremely rough and had to be towed to a repair facility

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 chevrolet avalanche.

The odometer speed reduced drastically on its own. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, but was not diagnosed. The manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. The approximate failure mileage was 142,000.

The vehicle, from the time it was new, had usually consumed about 0.5 Quarts of oil each oil change, which I would consider normal. This condition began to worsen at approximately 60,000 miles to about 1.0 Quarts per oil change. This condition continued to worsen, and at approximately 85,000 miles began to consume 1 quart of oil each 1,500 miles in city driving, and closer to 1,000 miles with significant highway driving. I contacted the dealership regarding this issue, and they replied that this amount of oil...

I bought this truck new and at about 30000 miles it starts to burn oil.About a quart between oil changes.Took to dealer and they replaced lifters.There was no difference.Then did oil consumption test where it got to the point of burning 1quart of oil every 800 miles.Took back in then was told extended warranty will not cover and it is normal wear.Truck at that time only had 73000 miles on it(aug.2015).They told me it could be$3600 to repair this issue.I than told them not to touch it and still dealing with issue at 78000 miles.

Vehicle used way too much oil. Oil consumption was extreme. Began to hear a ticking sound, while driving on expressway the lite up like a christmas tree. And smoke began to billow out the exhaust. Took it to dealer said I needed a new engine. Reading posts on line everyone is complaining of same issue. This should be remedied by manufacturer. Now car is sitting waiting to get an engine

It started with a ticking noise and when I took it for service they said that it was my lifters and to replace them it would cost 5-6 thousand, and that I might as well replace the engine. I later find out that this is common with all the 07 but the manufactory want recall or assist with replacement cost.

There have been continual problems with the engine of my truck and I have found out since buying it there are severe problems with a lot of the engines of the 2007 avalanche. The mechanic told me when we brought the truck in to find out why the engine had a hesitation in it, that we should hope it was the exhaust system seals needing to be replaced that caused the hesitation because the only other times he had seen this problem it was a manufacturing defect in the 2007 gmc engines that he had seen these problems...

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 chevrolet avalanche 1500. While driving approximately 40 mph, the check engine and low oil warning indicators illuminated. The contact observed that the oil was extremely low and the oil was topped off 1,500 miles prior. The vehicle was taken to a dealer, where it was diagnosed that the engine failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 60,000.

The engine has a hesitation due to a manufacuring problem it also uses more oil than it should between oil changes. Also having problem with the electrical system every time I turn around something stops working like the side mirror on the drivers side won't fold in like its supposed to and the backup sensor stopped working. Tried to get our mechanic to fix it but it needs a code to get into the electrical system and gm won't give it to anyone but thier own mechanics. So now we have to go to the dealership to have...

Total engine loss at highway speed, chevrolet want to replace the engine, but as I read all these complaint about engine and oil and afm. I believe they should be held accountable for selling lemons. The nhtsa must put a end to manufacturers selling trash. *Tr
