2010 Chevrolet Avalanche complaints

DASH BOARD CRACKED NEAR STEALING COLUMN WHILE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY. WENT ONLINE AND FOUND THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH 07-13 GM TRUCKS AND SUVS. THIS COULD END UP AS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE IF THE DASH CRACKS MORE WHILE DRIVING PIECES COULD FLY UP AND HIT DRIVER CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. THIS REALLY NEEDS TO BE LOOKED AT AND GM NEEDS TO RECALL THESE DASH BOARDS. POOR DESIGN. THERE IS NO SUPPORT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DASH. THE ONLY SUPPORT IS ON EITHER END OF THE WINDSHIELD VENTS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET AVALANCHE. WHILE STATIONARY, THE VEHICLE'S DASHBOARD EXPOSED SHARP EDGES AND WAS SEVERELY CRACKED. THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE DASHBOARD WAS FULL OF FRACTURED PIECES THAT PROTRUDED FROM THE DASHBOARD MATERIAL. BROOKS MOTORS OF THOMASVILLE, ALABAMA REPLACED THE DASHBOARD TWICE, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 30,000.

THE DASH STARTED CRACKING IN 4 PLACES AND IS NOW FALLING APART.

DASHBOARD CRACKED AT CORNER OF AIRBAG. POSSIBLE RISK OF BODILY INJURY WITH DEPLOYMENT OF AIRBAG ON PASSENGER SIDE

I AM CONCERNED THAT THERE ARE NO REPLACEMENTS FOR THE FAULTY TAKATA AIRBAGS. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP, AND THEY TOLD ME THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. THEY WOULD NOT EVEN HAVE AN AIRBAG REPLACEMENT AT MY OWN EXPENSE TO REPLACE THE FAULTY TAKATA AIRBAGS. DO I HAVE TO BE KILLED OR SOMEONE ELSE IN MY TRUCK KILLED BEFORE SOMETHING IS DONE?

MY DASHBOARD CRACKED FOR NO REASON. IT'S BEEN KEPT OUT OF THE SUN AND HIGH TEMPERATURES. ALSO BACK UP SENSORS STOPPED WORKING, I HAD THEM REPLACED BY THE DEALER. BUT ONLY LASTED 6 MONTHS

MY DASHBOARD IS CRACKING AND PIECES ARE FALLING OFF. THERE IS NOW A BAD RATTLE AND I'M AFAID IF THERE IS A ACCIDENT, THE DASH WILL FALL APART AND SHARP PIECES OF DASH WILL FLY AROUND THE CAB.

CRACKING DASHBOARD

TAKATA RECALL I HAVEN'T RECEIVED ANY RECALL NOTICE. NO ACCIDENT JUST WANT ANY DEFICIENCY INVOLVED IN THE RECALL CORRECTED. LOOKING FOR ANY NOTICE.

INTERIOR DOOR HANDLE (DRIVER'S SIDE) CHROME OVERLAY PEELED 2010 CHEVY AVALANCHE LT. OWNER OPENED DOOR AND CUT FINGER ON HANDLE RELEASE WHEN IT WAS LIFTED UP AS CAR WAS PARKED IN A PARKING LOT. IT IS RAZOR SHARP. GM WAS CONTACTED AND WOULD NOT PAY FOR DOOR HANDLE TO BE FIXED DESPITE INJURY DIRECTLY RESULTING FROM FAULTY DOOR HANDLE. VEHICLE HAS APPROXIMATELY 91,500 MILES. WITH FURTHER INSPECTION CHROME OVERLAY SURROUNDING TEMP CONTROL ALSO HAS PEELING NOTED AND IS ALSO VERY SHARP.

STABILITRAC AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS CAME ON ALONG WITH SERVICE BOTH AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON AND SOMETIMES FLASHES. TRUCK IS IDLING VERY ROUGH AND SEEMS TO DOWNSHIFT HARD FROM 2ND TO 1ST.

CRACKED DASHBOARD OVER AIR BAG

DURING THE CALENDAR YEAR 2016, I HAVE EXPERIENCED TWO(2) SEVERE DASHBOARD CRACKS. ONE CRACK IN FRONT OF MY INSTRUMENT CLUSTER OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING AS I HEARD IT "CRACK". THE OTHER CRACK APPEARED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE ABOVE THE AIR BAG PANEL. I AM NOT SURE WHEN THIS CRACK APPEARED, BUT CONCERNS ME RELATIVE TO THE AIR BAG OPERATION/SAFETY. I HAVE DRILLED HOLES AT THE END OF THE CRACK ON THE DRIVER SIDE IN AN ATTEMPT TO STOP THE PROGRESSION, BUT THE CRACK CONTINUES TO GET LARGER. THE DASH APPARENTLY IS BECOMING BRITTLE AND THE CRACKS ARE CONTINUING TO GROW. I CAN ONLY ASSUME THAT SOON I WILL HAVE PIECES OF THE DASH COME OFF EXPOSING ELECTRICAL WIRING AND COMPONENTS BELOW THE DASH. DUE TO THE SAFETY CONCERNS AND APPEARANCE ASPECTS, I AM HAVING THE DASH REPLACED BY MY DEALERSHIP AT A COST TO ME OF ALMOST $1,000. I HAVE SEEN MANY COMPLAINTS OF THIS COMPONENT DEFECT ON THE INTERNET, AND AM SURPRISED THAT GM DOES NOT ISSUE A RECALL. *TR

I HAVE HAD MY CHEVROLET AVALANCHE DASHBOARD REPAIRED TWICE FOR CRACKING/RATTLING. THE ISSUE SEEMS TO BE THAT THE CLASP UNDERNEATH THE CENTER SPEAKER OF THE DASH IS FAULTY AND BREAKS EASILY. THIS CAUSES THE RATTLING WHICH CAUSES THE CRACKING. THE CRACKS APPEAR RIGHT ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT GAUGE AND THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. THE CONCERN IS THAT IF CRACKED BADLY ENOUGH, IT COULD SEND PIECES OF PLASTIC EVERYWHERE IN THE CASE OF AN AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. GM WILL NOT FIX THE ISSUE.

THE DASH IN MY CHEVROLET AVALANCHE HAS BECOME MORE AND MORE LOOSE WHERE THE TWO MAIN DASH PIECES CONNECT, OR SO I THOUGHT. CLEARLY THE MIDDLE SPEAKER IN THE DASH IS TOO HEAVY FOR ONE OF THE PIECES (SEAT FACING PIECE) AND IT BROKE THE SNAP THAT "HELD" THE TWO OF THEM TOGETHER. AFTER REALIZING EXACTLY WHAT WAS HAPPENING, I WANTED TO GET IT FIXED BUT REALLY DID NOT KNOW WHO TO TURN TO. IN ONE OF THE PICTURES YOU CAN CLEARLY SEE WHERE A PIECE OF THE DASH HAS ACTUALLY BROKEN AND IT HAS FALLEN INTO THE INNER/UNDERNEATH OF THE DASH AND I DO NOT KNOW WHERE IT WENT. NOW, BOTH SIDES (THE AIRBAG CORNER WHERE IT ALL STARTED AND JUST AT THE END OF THE STEERING WHEEL RISE IN THE DASH) THE PLASTIC IS CRACKING. THE AIRBAG SIDE IS CLEARLY WORSE THAN THE STEERING WHEEL SIDE. HOW DO I GET THIS FIXED? IS THERE A RECALL ON THIS? HOW MUCH DOES SOMETHING LIKE THIS COST?

DASH CRACKED NEAR DRIVER INSTRUMENT PANEL AND PASSENGER AIRBAG COMPARTMENT.

IF THIS PART(S) ARE DEFECTIVE GM SHOULD REPLACE IMMEDIATELY. WHAT IS THE HOLD UP IN GETTING IT DONE AND KEEPING PEOPLE SAFE?

THE DASH BOARD ON MY 2010 AVALANCHE HAS TWO CRACKS ONE RIGHT BESIDE THE PASSENGER AIRBAG AND THE OTHER RIGHT OVER THE STEERING WHEEL . IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT I'M SURE THE DASH WOULD EXPLODE AND DEBRIS/PLASTIC FROM THE DASH SHARP PIECES WOULD FLY INTO SOMEONE'S FACE .

DASH CRACKED AND PIECE IS MISSING BY THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG. COUPLE WEEKS LATER DASH STARTED CRACKING OVE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AREA.

THE TOP OF THE DASH IS CRACKING, ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT PANEL HUMP ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. THE VEHICLE IS WELL TAKEN CARE OF; OIL CHANGES DONE EVERY 3K MILES, ALL FLUIDS CHANGED AT CORRECT INTERVALS, PREMIUM GASOLINE, NEVER TAKEN OFF-ROAD, NEVER DRIVEN OVER 80 MPH, ETC. IT SEEMS THAT THE CRACK DEVELOPED THROUGH NO FAULT OF MY OWN AND APPEARS TO BE A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. BEING A LIFE LONG GM BUYER AND FAN, I HAVE PURCHASED MORE THAN GM 5 VEHICLES AND PLAN TO BUY MORE, IT DISAPPOINTS ME THAT THEY ARE NOT ISSUING A RECALL.

DASH CRACKING NEXT TO THE PASSENGER AIRBAG DUE A MANUFACTURE'S DEFECT OF POOR QUALITY MATERIAL WITH LITTLE TO NO SUPPORT UNDERNEATH THE DASH AND WITH EVERY SMALL BUMP IN THE ROAD IT BECOMES WORSE AND WORSE. DASH APPEARS TO BE MADE OF AN INFERIOR MATERIAL AND IS NOT SUPPORTED PROPERLY FOR IT TO CRACK SO EASILY. IF THE AIR BAG INFLATES, THE DASHBOARD MAY EASILY SHATTER INTO THOUSANDS OF SHARDS OF SHARP PLASTIC THAT COULD BE A CAUSE OF SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. MANY OF THE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE THAT HAVE THIS SAME PROBLEM HAVE SAID THEY HAVE HAD THE DASH REPLACED, ONLY TO HAVE IT CRACK AGAIN. GM SHOULD BE 100% RESPONSIBLE FOR FIXING ALL OF THEIR DEFECTIVE DASHBOARDS WITH A GOOD QUALITY PRODUCT SINCE THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A MANUFACTURER DEFECT.

THE DASHBOARD HAS CRACKED IN 2 LOCATIONS. THE 1ST RUNS INTO THE CORNER OF THE PASSENGER AIRBAG COMPARTMENT. THE 2ND IS OVER THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AND NOW I HAVE A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON. NOT SURE YET OF THE 2 ARE RELATED. THE FIRST CRACK JUST SEEMED TO APPEAR. THE 2ND CRACK (WHICH IS MUCH WORSE NOW) I COULD HEAR IT CRACK WHEN I STARTED THE ENGINE SITTING STILL.

THE DASHBOARD IS CRACKED BEYOND REPAIR. IT IS CRACKED IN DECAL DIFFERENT AREAS. THIS SEEMS TO BE A SAFETY ISSUE. WOULD HATE TO GET INTO AN ACCIDENT AND AIRBAGS SHOOT PLASTIC PIECES OF DASH THROUGHOUT THE VEHICLE. CRACKS APPEAR WHILE DRIVING AS WELL AS AFTER SITTING.

DASH IS CRACKED ABOVE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND ALSO CRACKED BY PASSENGER AIRBAG COMPARTMENT.

FOR NO APPARENT REASON, MY DASH STARTED CRACKING NEXT TO THE PASSENGER AIRBAG AT AROUND 48,000 MILES. THE LARGE CRACK BEGAN TO SPREAD ACROSS THE DASH UNTIL, AFTER A FEW MONTHS, IT WAS ALL THE WAY ACROSS TO THE STEERING WHEEL. NOW SMALL CRACKS ARE BEGINNING TO SPIDER OUT. THERE SEEMS TO BE NO SUPPORT UNDERNEATH THE DASH AND WITH EVERY SMALL BUMP IN THE ROAD IT BECOMES WORSE AND WORSE. THE DASH MUST BE MADE OF AN INFERIOR MATERIAL FOR IT TO CRACK SO EASILY. IF THE AIR BAG DOES INFLATE, THE DASHBOARD COULD BURST INTO THOUSANDS OF SHARP PIECES THAT COULD BE A CAUSE OF SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. I HAVE GOTTEN A REPAIR ESTIMATE TO REPLACE THE DASH FOR $1,500. HOWEVER, SOME OF THE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE THAT HAVE THIS SAME PROBLEM SAY THEY HAVE HAD THE DASH REPLACED, ONLY TO HAVE IT CRACK AGAIN. GM HAS OFFERED TO PAY HALF OF THE REPLACEMENT COST IF I HAVE IT REPAIRED WITHIN 60 DAYS, BUT THEY SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR FIXING ALL OF THEIR DEFECTIVE DASHBOARDS WITH A GOOD QUALITY PRODUCT AT 100% SINCE THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A MANUFACTURER DEFECT.

I HAVE A 2010 CHEVROLET AVALANCHE LTZ MY DASH IS CRACKING AROUND CENTER MOUNT SPEAKER ON BOTH SIDES ALL THE WAY TO AIR BAG COMPARTMENT, THIS IS NOT NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR, AND COULD BE A SAFETY ISSUE WITH AIR BAG. THERE IS NO SUPPORT AROUND SPEAKER IS WHAT IS CAUSING ISSUE.

TAMARA RECALL. I AM ONE OF SEVERAL GM CUSTOMERS WHO IS HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE DASHBOARD CRACKING. I'VE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH GM CUSTOMER CARE AND THEY ACKNOWLEDGED MY ISSUE AND HAVE OFFERED TO PAY 30% OF THE $1,569.88 IT WOULD COST ME TO HAVE MY DASHBOARD REPLACED. SINCE SO MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS ISSUE, I FEEL GM SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL TO REPAIR CUSTOMERS DASHBOARDS AT NO CHARGE.

DASH IS CRACKING AROUND AND CONNECTING TO THE AIRBAG. VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THIS SAFETY RISK IF THE VEHICLE WERE TO BE IN AN ACCIDENT.

MY DASH IS BREAKING AT THE AIR BAG AND ABOVE THE STEERING WHEEL.IT STARTED AFTER CENTRAL CHEVROLET MADE REPAIRS TO A FAN MOTOR. I CARRIED THE TRUCK BACK TO THE DEALER.THEY SAID MY WARRANTY WOULD NOT COVER MY DASH.I HAD ABOUT 9000 MILES LEFT ON A FULL COVERAGE POLICY THAT CENTRAL CHEV.SAID COVERED THE COMPLETE TRUCK.

MY DASH STARTED CRACKING AROUND THE AIRBAG AND ABOVE THE GAUGE CLUSTER. NUMEROUS OTHER OWNERS HAVE HAD IDENTICAL CRACKS WHICH WE BELIEVE COULD CAUSE SHRAPNEL IN CASE OF AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT.

THE DASH IS CRACKED IN 3 PLACES 2 OF WHICH ARE NEAR THE PASSENGER AIR BAG THAT COULD POSSIBLY AFFECT THE DEPLOYMENT.

BEGINNING OF DECEMBER 2015, NOTICED A DASH CRACK OVER INSTRUMENT PANEL BEHIND STEERING WHEEL. ALSO SMALL CRACK BY PASSENGER AIR BAG. CONTACTED AND TOOK TO RAY CHEVROLET. I EXPRESSED CONCERN ABOUT CRACK BY AIRBAG--WAS TOLD BY SERVICE MANAGER THAT IT WAS PROBABLY NOT A SAFETY ISSUE AND THE AMOUNT THAT I HAD TO PAY WAS DETERMINED BY A FORMULA BY GM. GM SAID THERE IS A FORMULA BUT LOCAL DEALER HAS LEEWAY ON PRICE. FIRST OFFER WAS $320; SECOND OFFER BY DEALER $200. GM SAYS THEY CAN'T HELP. NOTICED ON THE INTERNET, LOTS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS VERY ISSUE. CRACK BY DASH APPEARS TO BE GETTING LARGER. CAR IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION AND HAS BEEN WELL CARED FOR. 57,000 MILES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET AVALANCHE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DASHBOARD WAS CRACKED IN THREE PLACES WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE CRACKS WERE CAUSED BY THE HEAT FROM THE SUN. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND ADVISED THE CONTACT TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO A LOCAL DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 110,000. UPDATED 03/16/16*LJ *TR

WHEN TURNING THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL MOMENTARILY LOCKS UP SOUNDING LIKE LITTLE SKIDS. DURING NORMAL SLOW ACCELERATIONS THE ISSUE CAUSES THE TRUCK TO LUNGE OR BUMP FEELING LIKE IT IS COMING FROM THE DIFFERENTIAL. SINCE I FISRT PURCHASED THE THRUCK NEW FROM THE DEALER THERE HAS ALWAYS BEEN AN ISSUE WITH CLUNKING FROM THE DRIVETRAIN. DEAL SAID THEY COULD FIND IDENTIFY ANYTHING.

DASHBOARD ON PASSENGER SIDE RIGHT ABOVE AIRBAG HAS CRACKED. NOTICED IT WHEN GETTING INTO VEHICLE AFTER FINISHING WORK AROUND 4:15PM. IT WAS PARKED IN THE SHADE SINCE 7:45AM ON A COOL FALL SUNNY DAY. I'M WORRIED IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT, THE AIRBAG COULD POSSIBLY DEPLOY SHRAPNEL FROM THE BROKEN DASH AND HURT SOMEONE. SEARCHING ONLINE SHOWS THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THE GMT900 PLATFORM TRUCKS FROM 2007-2011 AND GM IS NOT DOING MUCH IF ANYTHING ABOUT IT.

THE DASH OF MY 2010 AVALANCHE IS CRACKED NEAR THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. THIS CRACK APPEARED OVERNIGHT WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY. NOW THE CENTER CENTER CONNECTION OF THE DASH PANEL HAS CRACKED AS WELL CREATING DISTRACTING NOISES. MOST IMPORTANTLY, THE CRACKED PIECE AROUND THE AIRBAG AREA COULD BECOME A SHARP PROJECTILE IF THE AIRBAG IS DEPLOYED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET AVALANCHE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DASHBOARD WAS CRACKED FROM THE AIR BAGS AREA TO THE VENTS. THE CONTACT WAS CONCERNED THAT THE AIR BAGS MIGHT INADVERTENTLY DEPLOY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 45,000 .

IMMEDIATELY UPON STARTING MY TRUCK, WHILE IN PARK, THE DASHBOARD INDICATED THE VEHICLE WAS IN REDUCED ENGINE POWER MODE AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE STABILITRAK WAS DISABLED. THE TRUCK WOULD NOT ACCELERATE PROPERLY AND WOULD ONLY DRIVE APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH. THIS IS THE 5TH TIME THIS HAS OCCURRED ON THIS VEHICLE. THE DEALERSHIP INFORMED ME THAT IT IS THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL POSITIONING SENSOR, WHICH IS THE SAME ISSUE IT HAS HAD EACH OF THE PREVIOUS 4 TIMES TIME. IT HAPPENED 7 TIMES ON MY 2007 TAHOE AND EACH TIME IT WAS THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL POSITIONING SENSOR (WHICH IS THE REASON WE SOLD IT). WE ARE THANKFUL THAT THIS TIME IT OCCURRED WITH THE VEHICLE IN PARK, THIS HAS HAPPENED IN THIS TRUCK ON THE HIGHWAY AND THAT WAS VERY DANGEROUS!!

THE DASHBOARD ON MY TRUCK HAS DEVELOPED TWO CRACKS, ONE IS IN THE HUMP OVER THE INSTRUMENT GAUGES ON THE DRIVERS SIDE AND THE OTHER IS ON THE CORNER OF THE CUT OUT FOR THE PASSENGER AIR BAG.

THE DASHBOARD IS CRACKING FOR NO APPARENT REASON. ONE CRACK NEAR THE AIRBAG ON THE PASSENGER SIDE, THE SECOND ONE IS DIRECTLY ABOVE THE SPEEDOMETER AND GAGES.

RECENTLY THE DASHBOARD OF MY TRUCK KEEPS CRACKING AND EVERYDAY MORE CRACKS APPEAR OR THE ONES THAT ARE ALREADY VISIBLE, JUST KEEP GETTING WORSE. I AM CONCERNED FOR MY PASSENGERS AS WELL AS MY OWN SAFETY BECAUSE THE CRACKS OF THE DASHBOARD ARE RIGHT NEXT TO WHERE THE AIRBAG WOULD DEPLOY. THE CRACKS CAN AFFECT THE DEPLOYMENT OF MY AIRBAG WITH THE POSSIBILITY OF INJURY WORSE THEN IF THE AIRBAG WERE TO DEPLOY CORRECTLY. I AM ALSO CONCERNED THAT IF I WERE TO GET INTO AN ACCIDENT, THAT THESE CRACKED PIECES OF THE DASHBOARD WOULD BE PROJECTED FROM THE DASH AND CAN DO FURTHER HARM TO MY PASSENGERS AND OR MYSELF.

DASHBOARD CRACK IN THE CORNER OF THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG.

DROVE OVER RRX AT 7MPH AND THEN THE DASH CRACKED IN 2 PLACES, 1 FROM WINDSHIELD TO AIRBAG OPENING, AND ONE FROM WINDSHIELD TO DRIVER CONSOLE AREA. PIECES ARE NOW VISIBLE CLOSE TO CORNER FOR AIR BAG ON PASSENGER SIDE
