What owners wrote
I had been noticing that there was a slight noise on the right front end of my 2007 avalanche. I checked the undercarriage and didn't notice anything wrong. I had an oil change done and it came w/ a free tire rotation. The sound seemed to be gone after that , I can't be sure. The truck had approx. 12,000 miles on it. I was going to drop off some papers with a customer on oct. 6th when I heard the noise again.
As I was driving my avalanche the stability track and traction control turned on my truck reduced power to half and it pulled right. I drove into lots of dirt and my brakes were affected too. I have been having issues with my 2007 avalance stabilitrak traction control turning off intermitingly. I have had my truck to the dealer 3 times on this issue and I am still with the same problem. This started over a year ago and when bringing it in for service there were no codes found for this problem.
