CarComplaints.com Notes: It didn't take long for the cladding to fade, discolor, and in some cases crack. Cladding is the protective plastic piece that runs along the outside of vehicles, and exposure to both heat and UV rays give the Avalanche's cladding a chalky, faded appearance.
Owners have said the problem is especially bad on the panels near the cargo bed. Eventually, GM agreed to a one-time treatment of ArmorDillo, a protective treatment similar to what you find in any auto shop. Unfortunately, that would only help for 6 months (on average).
Eventually, GM offered another coating solution for owners within the 3 year / 36,000 mile original warranty under TSB:04-08-111-001C.

For as much as these vehicles cost it would seem plausible that GM would make sure that the expensive whistles and bells that come on these cars would actually tweet and ring. It is extremely annoying and embarrassing that the AC blows hot air and the heater blows cold air. I am a realtor and I have many folks in my car and many of them take note that this GM Avalanche has many failures. I am not happy!
