Funny how you folks call them "emergency brakes" and we just call the "park (or hand) brakes"..iamten7 said:Hmmm Skidd sounds like there is a problem with the emergency brakes after all. Thanx again.
If I recall it wasn't a suggestion, it was a story about how a similar "scraping noise" turned out to be road-salt crud that had gotten lodged into the brake which he washed out solving the problem. This has nothing to do with the thread, stay on topic please.iamten7 said:As for your suggestion of dumping puddle water or slush on the rotor, sorry no can do. I avoid any of the like with my Av. The baby goes every week for a wash and monthly for a detailing. While my Z71 may have off road potential, that's the last place you'll find mine. I like it in the showroom condition it was when I first brought it home.
iamten7 said:Well Seagull at-least you got one thing correct. You do know your 10 codes, for a Taxi. Ten-seven is, as you stated the code for "out of service". Though my Av was out of commission for some time last week due to this problem, that is NOT the intended meaning of the code in my case. Sorry, I do not own a Taxi, and I drive an Avalanche. Well at-least you got one thing right.
So what sport exactly are you trying for hear cause I think you missed either way. I mean really is it basketball or football? Well it doesn't matter. After discussing the "TSB" vs. "silent recall" with numerous area mechanics, two seperate dealer GM's, and one dealership owner, the ruling comes down on the side of both being one in the same. However I have to make note of the fact that the two GM's and owner all said they'll deny any knowledge of this conversation if questioned. So corporate responses aside then the results are the same. Buh-bye now thanx for playing.
I am experiencing the same problem with my heater motor. I have not taken it to the dealership yet but hope that they decide to repair it. Dad is the one who first noticed the noise and so if the dealership does not repair it, I am certain dad will have something to say when he finds out, and shortly thereafter, it should be fixed.Brett said:TXAVy, thanks for the support! ?I agree, the major problem is the dealer. ?I was in a really foul mood yesterday after I picked up my truck. ?Now that I've cooled off a little.... I would still buy another Avalanche in a minute. ?The parking brake was only one of three items I wanted taken care of that they refused to remedy. ?I also wanted the heater blower motor replaced, because it makes a rattle type noise at times. ?It is not a leaf or twig, but sounds like a bad bushing. ?They said "it sounds normal to me". ?And, the weather stripping sticks up where the front and rear doors meet at the top. ?It's a cosmetic issue, and they said the warranty doesn't cover cosmetics. ?So, I took it in for three problems, they kept it all day, and flat out refused to do anything! ?So much for customer service! ?I'm trying to decide if I should try another dealership before the warranty expires, or start the GM arbitration process. ?By the way for anyone in the Pittsburgh area, this is Sun Chevrolet in McMurray PA. ?I would avoid them.....
