I'VE GONE ALL THE WAY UP THROUGH CHEVY THE CORPORATION WHO SAYS THEY CANNOT FIX MY AIRBAG. WHAT DO I DO NOW? MY HUSBAND AND SON DRIVE THIS VEHICLE. WE ARE STILL DRIVING IT. WE HAVE TO.

TAKATA RECALL I HAVE A 2008 CHEV AVALANCHE WHICH HAS A AIR BAG INFLATOR RECALL ISSUED OVER 3 YEARS AGO. IMPORTANCE OF REPAIRS WERE STATED AS AGE OF VEHICLE AND REGION WHERE IT RESIDES. I BOUGHT MY AVALANCHE NEW, 11 YEARS AGO, AND HAVE ALWAYS LIVED IN FLORIDA. I RECENTLY HAD MY DASHBOARD REPLACED DUE TO CRACKING AS A RESULT OF, ACCORDING TO GM, 'HEAT AND HUMIDITY' IN FLORIDA. HOWEVER WHAT SEEMS TO BE A VERY IMPORTANT SAFETY ISSUE FOR PASSENGERS (WIFE AND GRANDKIDS) DOESN'T SEEM TO GET PRIORITY ATTENTION. IF IN FACT TAKATA AND GM BELIEVE THAT AGE AND HUMID REGIONS ARE PRIMARY FACTORS WHICH DETERMINE THE DEGRADATION TIME OF AIR BAG INFLATORS AND INCREASE THE POSSIBILITY OF INJURY OR DEATH THEN MY VEHICLE SHOULD BE HIGH ON THE RECALL LIST. MAY 27, 2016 RECALL ISSUED AND STILL NO ACTION.

THE DASH OF THIS AND OTHER AFFILIATED MODELS ARE PRONE TO CRACKING DUE TO A RIGID, BRITTLE MATERIAL AND A DESIGN THAT WAS NOT FORTIFIED OR SUBSTANTIAL ENOUGH TO RESIST THE FORCES OF VIBRATION THAT ARE COMMON IN SUCH VEHICLES. THE DASH OF MY VEHICLE CRACKED AT THE APEX OF THE INSTRUMENT PANEL BINNACLE, THE DEFOGGER VENTS AT THE BASE OF THE WINDSHIELD AND SURROUNDING THE COVER OF THE PASENGER SIDE AIRBAG. TO REPLACE THE UNIT WOULD BE $1200+ AND IT WOULD BE WITH A PIECE OF THE SAME DESIGN. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND IT IS LOUD AND UNSIGHTLY

I HAVE HAD 5 AVALANCHES 3 07S 2 08S ALL HAVE DASH CRACKING ISSUES THE BREAKING DASHES CRACK CAUSE GLARE IN DRIVERS EYES NOISES THAT CAN TAKE FOCUS OFF THE ROAD EVERY ONE I'VE OWNED IT'S HAPPENED GM USED A PROPROLYENE DASH THAT GETS BRITTLE WHEN INTRODUCED TO HEAT. THIS IS KNOWN BY GM AS A DEFECT BUT U GUYS HAVE NOT ENFORCED THEM TO FIX IT'S A EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE FIX LABOR IS HIGH AND I'M 5 FOR 5 ON CRACKING DASHES. 3 HAVE CRACKED SO BAD THAT WHEN THE SUN HIT THEM THEY THROW GLARE TOWARD MY EYES. IT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED THIS IS CRAPPY. JUST LIKE GM AND THE CRAPPY CADILLAC SRX HEADLIGHTS THEY KNOW IT'S A DEFECT THEN FIX IT

A CRACK ON THE PASSENGER SIDE ABOVE THE AIRBAG APPEARED 3 YEARS AFTER I BOUGHT THE TRUCK. NOW THE DRIVER SIDE HAS MULTIPLE CRACKS OVER THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. IT SEEMS TO BE GETTING WORSE. THE BACK PIECE OF THE DASHBOARD IS COMPLETELY LOOSE AND FLOPS AROUND ON UNEVEN ROADS. SAFETY IS A CONCERN DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE PLASTIC IS SOMEWHAT BRITTLE AND MAY SHATTER ON AN ACCIDENT OR RUFF ROADS. I HAVE HAD A DASH COVER SINCE NEW.

I DRIVE MY TRUCK ON THE WEEKENDS ONLY AND AT LEAST TWICE A YEAR I HAVE TO REPLACE CYLINDER #7 SPARK PLUG ALL OF THE TIME, ALSO GOT THE OIL PRESSURE SWITCH AND THE FILTER REPLACED TWICE AND I GET A TAPPING SOUND AT IDLE DUE TO THE LOW OIL PRESSURE READING ON THE DASH, AND IT HAS HAPPEN RIGHT AFTER AN OIL CHANGE, LAST BUT NOT LEASE THE CRACKING OF THE DASHBOARD.

THE ACTIVE FUEL MANAGEMENT (AFM) SYSTEM HAS FAILED CAUSING THE MOTOR TO LOSE COMBUSTION IN ONE OF THE AFM CYLINDERS (CYLINDER 7 TO BE EXACT) DUE TO THE AFM LIFTER FAILED AND HAS JAMMED THE EXHAUST VALVE OPEN. GM IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND HAS HAD SEVERAL COMPLAINTS TO FIX. EVERYONE WITH THE AFM SYSTEM FROM GM FOR AROUND MY MODEL YEAR HAVE HAD SIMILAR PROBLEMS OR HAVE COMPLETELY LOST THE MOTOR

TAKATA RECALL AND OIL CONSUMPTION

MY DASHBOARD IS SO BADLY CRACKED IT HAS EFFECTED THE FUNCTIONALITY OF THE AIR BAGS. THIS AN EXPENSIVE REPAIR AND HAPPENS TO MAJORITY OF THESE TRUCKS.

TAKATA INFLATORS. WHAT HAPPENED IS THE NHTSA GAVE GM UNTIL AUGUST OF 2017 TO PROVIDE DATA SUPPORTING GM'S CLAIM OF INCONSEQUENTIALITY... THAT THE VEHICLES LISTED IN RECALL FROM 2016 ARE NOT AT RISK. WHY HAVE WE NOT HEARD AN UPDATE IN THE 19 MONTHS SINCE THE DEADLINE? IS THE AIR BAG SAFE OR NOT? PLEASE DO YOUR JOB.

CRACKED DASHBOARD - 3 MAJOR CRACKS IN DASH - VERY LIGHTLY USED VEHICLE (73K MI) - DASH PIECES LIKELY A HAZARD IS CASE OF ACCIDENT. DASH SHOULD NOT CRACK UNDER NORMAL USE - DEFECTIVE MATERIALS/DESIGN

SEVERE CRACKS HAVE DEVELOPED IN MY DASHBOARD AT THE PASSENGER AIR BAG & ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER / SPEEDOMETER. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THERE HAVE BEEN A MULTITUDE OF SIMILAR ISSUES WITH OTHER GM MODELS. APPEARS TO BE A MANUFACTURING DEFECT W/ THE PLASTIC MATERIAL AND / OR THE MANUFACTURE OF THE DASHES. GM HAS DECLINED A VOLUNTARY RECALL, EVEN THOUGH IN AN ACCIDENT, IT IS LIKELY THAT SHARDS OF THE DASH COULD SEPARATE & CAUSE SEVERE INJURIES TO THE OCCUPANTS.

UPPER DASH SECTIONS CRACKED BY INSTRUMENT AREA AND ABOVE PASSENGER AIR BAG

I HAVE LARGE CRACKS IN THE PLASTIC OF THE DASHBOARD WHICH IS APPARENTLY A KNOW PROBLEM FOR THE CHEVY AVALANCHE, SURBURBAN, TAHOE LINE OF TRUCKS, THIS COULD LEAD TO SHARDS OF PLASTIC BEING EJECTED IF THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED IN MY OPINION

LAST WEEK SEVERAL CRACKS APPEARED IN THE DASH AROUND THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG IN MY LOW MILEAGE, GARAGED 2008 AVALANCHE. UPON RESEARCHING THE ISSUE I FOUND THAT IT IS A WELL KNOW DEFECT WITH DASHES IN 2007 TO 2013 CHEVY TRUCKS AND THAT GM REFUSES TO HELP THOSE WHO EXPERIENCE THE CRACKING. I AM VERY FEARFUL OF THE INJURIES THAT THE SHATTERED PLASTIC WOULD CAUSE TO THE FRONT SEAT PASSENGERS SHOULD THE AIRBAG DEPLOY, SO I HAVE NO OTHER CHOICE BUT TO PAY UP TO FIX THE GM ISSUE. GM, IF NOT WILLING TO DEFRAY THE ENTIRE COST, SHOULD OFFER A SUBSTANTIAL REBATE FOR THE REPAIR.

THE DASHBOARD HAS SEVERAL CRACKS AND JUST RECENTLY, A CHUNK FELL INTO THE DASHBOARD. IF THE AIRBAG DEPLOYS, THERE ARE PROBABLY PARTS AROUND IT THAT WILL DEPLOY INTO THE PASSENGER AS WELL AS THE DRIVER'S FACE. CONSIDERING HOW BRITTLE IT IS, IT WILL PROBABLY SHATTER IN THE EVEN OF AN ACCIDENT, SENDING SHARDS OF PLASTIC SCATTERING THROUGHOUT THE INTERIOR AS WELL.

GM OWNER'S LUCK AND PATIENCE HAVE BEEN TESTED BEYOND REASONABLE MEASURE.
