Problems with 2013 Avalanche 330

Has anyone else had any problems with your Avalanche? We purchased new in October and moved in full-time in December. Changing out the bathroom faucet was the first thing as it barely worked. Then we found a hydraulic leak somewhere when we exercised the slides. Also, the slide header on the left side has a bent header. We had a repair person out who found the leak on the slide and in doing so cut the under pan to get the hydraulic fluid out.

Then it was into the shop to fix the leak. (We haven't even gone anywhere yet as we keep waiting on repairs) They won't replace the bent header so we had to buy that ourselves. Finally after weeks of waiting we have an appointment next week for the repairs.

This morning one of the day/night shades broke. The string just gave out. They told us it will take 4-6 weeks to get a new one and we want to leave.

I guess we are just getting the bugs out but we are really frustrated with how poorly these things are made. Or maybe ours was the one built late on Friday.

Has anyone else had these problems?

Personally, I think that with stuff like the shades you are better off fixing or replacing it yourself. A lot of dealerships seem to only care about big ticket items, and little things like this get shoved off to the side, sometimes intentionally, I think.

4-6 weeks for a new shade is very poor customer service, IMHO.

Those shades can be restrung quickly and easily rather than replacing them:
