2007 Chevrolet Avalanche common problems

The most-reported problem areas from 493 owner complaints filed with NHTSA — and what to check before you buy.

Air Bags

Confirm the airbag light turns on then off at startup — if it stays lit there's a fault (costly, and a safety risk). Check for signs of prior deployment.

Engine

Listen for knocks or ticking, check for leaks and blue/white exhaust smoke, and make sure it doesn't overheat. No check-engine light should be on.

Electrical System

Test every electrical feature: windows, locks, infotainment, charging and all lights. Watch for flickering, dead accessories or warning lights.

Structure

Inspect for rust, fresh undercoating, mismatched paint, uneven panel gaps and any sign of prior collision or frame repair.

Visibility/wiper

Have a trusted mechanic inspect this system as part of a pre-purchase inspection.

Vehicle Speed Control

Test cruise control and throttle response, and watch for any hesitation or unintended acceleration.
