I've had my Avalanche for almost 3 months and I love it, BUT, after this weekend, a reliability issue has reared its' ugly head.
Friday morning the truck would not start. The battery appeared to be fully charged because everything electrical worked normally, but nothing happened when you turned the key. A boost did not make any difference. The dealership came and got it and said it had a dead cell in the battery. They installed a new battery, and my son and I went on a little camping trip for the weekend. Sunday morning the AV would not start. Same problem. New Battery, plenty of juice to run everything electrical, but nothing happened when you turned the key. Another tow to another dealer, (60 miles from home). When this dealer's service guys looked at the truck on Monday, it started normally, and showed no stored codes or any problems of any kind. I've got the AV back home now, but still think I have a problem waiting to pounce at the worst possible moment. Anybody ever run into anything similar? I would appreciate all suggestions.
Thanks,
