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.

To whom it may concerns:
I own a 2005 1500 LS Chevy Avalanche I bought it on 9/2005 bran new from a dealer .My wife use this car to take the kids to school and to grocery, shopping and doctors appointment. We been having such a bad experience with this car from leaking in the cargo bay the first year, to a check engine light for a gas cap sensor that it took 3 to 4 times to the dealer to fix it, to a new radio/cd player the 2nd year, to a new a/c compressor and blower, a door motor, 3 to 4 times suspension problem, Luckily I bought an extended warranty and just recently this year $1,700 in a new transmission and now a overheating radiator fan problem. This car is never been used to tow anything nor carried any cargo or anything heavy. Until the beginning of this year I was considering to by a Suburban or a Yukon despite fuel consumption because comfort and to support our Automakers but I think I rather not due to all this bad maintenance experiences.
