2007 Chevrolet Avalanche 1500

Defect. CERTAIN SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES AND TRUCKS FAIL TO COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 110, "TIRE SELECTION AND RIMS." THESE VEHICLES HAVE AN INCOMPLETE TIRE RIM DESIGNATION ON THE CERTIFICATION/TIRE LABEL LOCATED ON THE DRIVER'S DOOR EDGE. IN ADDITION, THE LABEL MAY ALSO BE MISSING THE TIRE LOAD RATING ON THE LABEL. ALTHOUGH THIS INFORMATION IS NOT REQUIRED BY THE STANDARD, IF A TIRE OF A LESSER LOAD RATING IS INSTALLED, THE TIRE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO SUSTAIN THE LOADS ENCOUNTERED DURING USE.

Risk. IF A CUSTOMER REPLACES A WHEEL AND ONLY RELIES ON THE RIM SIZE DESIGNATION THAT IS INDICATED ON THE LABEL, A WHEEL THAT IS OF A DIFFERENT RIM CONTOUR DESIGNATION MAY BE INSTALLED. IT MAY BE DIFFICULT OR IMPOSSIBLE TO MOUNT THE TIRE ON A WHEEL WITH THE WRONG CONTOUR. IF THE TIRE IS MOUNTED ON THE WHEEL WITH THE WRONG CONTOUR, THE WHEEL AND TIRE MAY NOT PERFORM AS INTENDED, WHICH COULD INCREASE THE RISK OF A CRASH.

Remedy. A LABEL THAT WILL CORRECT THE LABEL ORIGINALLY INSTALLED WILL BE MAILED TO CONSUMERS ALONG WITH INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS. THE CUSTOMER WILL HAVE THE OPTION FOR DEALERS TO INSTALL THE LABEL. THE RECALL BEGAON ON NOVEMBER 7, 2006. OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT CADILLAC AT 1-866-982-2239, CHEVROLET AT 1-800-630-2438, AND GMC TRUCKS AT 1-866-996-9463.

TAKATA RECALL. (THIS NOT AN ACCIDENT REPORT.) ON 2/20/17 I CALLED A LOCAL AUTHORIZED CHEV DEALERSHIP ABOUT THE RECALL ON MY TRUCK FOR AN AIRBAG DEFECT. I CALLED AGAIN TODAY, 2/20/29 ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE. BOTH TIMES I HAVE BEEN TOLD THEY DO NOT HAVE ANY PARTS TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. WHEN I WENT TO REGISTER MY VEHICLE FOR THE UPCOMING RENEWAL PERIOD MARYLAND DMV WROTE "PLEASE CONTACT YOUR LOCAL MANUFACTURERS AUTHORIZED DEALERSHIP TO RESOLVE AT NO COST." SO, I AM PRETTY CONFUSED AS WHAT TO DO. IT HAD BEEN EXACTLY 2 YEARS SINCE MY FIRST NOTICE OF THIS PROBLEM AND I AM STILL BEING GIVEN THE SAME ANSWER WHILE I AM ALSO STILL BEING TOLD TO CONTACT A DEALERSHIP TO GET THIS REPAIRED. WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO? AM I JUST BEING GIVEN THE RUNAROUND? PLEASE ADVISE AS I DO NOT WANT TO ENDANGER MY FAMILY OR ANYONE ELSE SHOULD THIS EXPLODE UNEXPECTEDLY. THANK YOU. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).' *PM

STABILITRAK AND TRACTION CONTROL WARNING MESSAGES FREQUENTLY DISPLAY AND CAUSE HARSH SHIFTING AND REDUCED POWER. VEHICLE MAY BE STATIONARY OR DRIVEN.

DASHBOARD IS CRACKED IN SEVERAL PLACES NEAR THE PASSENGER AIRBAG AND INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. IT MAY EVENTUALLY CRACK ENOUGH THAT BIG PIECES WILL POP LOOSE AND CHUNKS OF MY DASH WILL BE GONE. ABS GLUE IS THE ONLY THING THAT WORKS TO JOIN THE SEAMS TOGETHER TO STOP THE DASH FROM SHAKING AND MAKING TONS OF NOISE. THE SHAKING LIKELY CAUSED THE CRACKS TO GROW MORE ALSO PRIOR TO ME FINALLY THROUGH LOTS OF TRIAL AND ERROR SUCCESSFULLY GLUING IT. HOPEFULLY IT WILL KEEP THE CURRENT CRACK FROM GROWING. BUT ONLY TIME WILL TELL. AND NEW ONES WILL LIKELY APPEAR IF THE OLD ONES DO NOT SPREAD. ALSO, THE AIR VENT COVER HAS BROKEN IN A LONG CRACK, AND EVEN WORSE MOST OF THE TABS THAT HOLD IT DOWN HAVE BROKEN OFF. THUS, IT STICKS UP LOOKING UGLY AND RATTLES. THIS TOO IS LIKELY TO BREAK UP MORE FROM ALL THE RATTLING.

TAKATA RECALL NOT RESOLVED IN A TIMELY MANNER. RECEIVED RECALL IN 2016 AND HAVE YET TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE. I HAVE CALLED CHERVROLET DEALERSHIPS AND THEY STATE A REPAIR IS UNAVAILABLE AT THE TIME.

IN MOTION ON CITY STREETS OR HIGHWAYS SEVERAL WARNING LIGHTS APPEAR ON THE DASH AND JUST RANDOMLY TURN ON AND TURN OFF THE STABILISER LEG TRACTION CONTROL TIME ON THEIR SYSTEM CHECK ENGINE ABS LIGHT AND AIRBAG LIGHT ALL THE LIGHTS COME ON AND GO OFF WHENEVER THEY WANT. THE PLAY IS ON MACY MOTHER THE ONE CONNECTION THAT GOES TO GETS EXTREMELY HOT IT DON'T WANNA COME ON YOU HAVE TO MOVE AROUND AND GET IT COME ON AND GOES OFF RANDOMLY AS WELL

"TAKATA RECALL" ON AIRBAG NO REMEDY OR SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM.

DASH BOARD COMPLETELY OVER ALL OF THE DASH INCLUDING OVER PASSENGER AIR BAG THE DASH BOARD WAS COVERED SINCE PURCHASE. NOTICED IT. 6 6 18

HAVE NOT HEARD ANYTHING IN OVER A YEAR SINCE I WAS NOTIFIED ABOUT THE RECALL ON THE AIRBAGS. IS THIS ANOTHER SCAM OR WHAT ?

TAKARA RECALL. TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN, I RECEIVED A NOTICE FROM GM TWO YEARS AGO IDENTIFYING MY VEHICLE AS AFFECTED BY THE AIRBAG RECALL AND WAS ALSO INFORMED I WOULD BE NOTIFIED WHEN MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP WOULD BE ABLE TO MAKE REPAIRS. I HAVE CALLED MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP SINCE RECEIVING THE NOTICE AND I AM ALWAYS TOLD THAT THERE ARE NO PARTS AND I WILL BE NOTIFIED WHEN REPAIR IS AVAILABLE. MY COMPLAINT IS THAT I HAVE NO IDEA WHEN, IF EVER, GM PLANS TO REPAIR MY VEHICLES AIRBAGS. I FEEL THAT GM IS TAKING IT'S TIME IN HOPE THAT AFFECTED VEHICLES AGE OUT AND ARE NO LONGER ON THE ROAD. WHAT ARE MY OPTIONS OF HAVING MY VEHICLE REPAIRED BY GM?

THIS RECALL IS GOING ON 2 YEARS NOW AND THERE STILL HAS NOT BEEN A FIX IDENTIFIED. HOW IS THIS ACCEPTABLE WHEN IT DIRECTLY IMPACTS DRIVER/PASSENGER SAFETY IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT?

SHARP DASHBOARD CRACK EDGES ON DRIVERS SIDE AND PASSENGER SIDE MAY BE STRUCK BY DRIVER OR PASSENGER IN AN ACCIDENT OR MAY BECOME AIR BORN RESULTING IN SEVER INJURY AND/OR BLINDNESS IN AN ACCIDENT SITUATION.
