  MY 2007 AVALANCHE DEMONSTRATES A POPPING AND CREAKING NOISE FROM THE FRONT END WHILE IN 4 WHEEL DRIVE AND TURNING A SHARP CORNER. THIS NOISE IS ACCOMPANIED BY A FELT BINDING IN THE STEERING WHEEL AND A FEELING OF A LOSS OF POWER. *TR

  THE RECALL WAS ISSUED MAY 2016. WE RECEIVED NOTICE JULY 2016. IT IS NOW END OF DECEMBER 2016. CHEVROLET STATES THE VEHICLE IS 'SAFE TO OPERATE'. THE RECALL STATES THAT IT MAY 'CAUSE SERIOUS OR FATAL INJURIES' IF IT DEPLOYS. ON THE FACE OF THIS, THE VEHICLE MAY NOT BE SAFE TO OPERATE. WHEN CAN I EXPECT TO HAVE THIS RECALL COMPLETED?

  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.

  PASSENGER AIRBAGS CONCERN - MY DASH, ALONG WITH FRIENDS THAT OWN GM TRUCKS FROM 2007 - 2014, IS CRACKED DUE TO WHAT I AM ASSUMING IS A WEAK MATERIAL. THE CRACKS ARE AROUND THE PASSENGER AIRBAGS (AND OTHER AREAS). MY CONCERN IS THAT THE JAGGED EDGES AND SHARP POINTS CREATED BY THE CRACKS COULD POTENTIALLY PUNCTURE THE AIRBAG. I FEEL THAT GM SHOULD RECALL THE DASH COVERS AND REPLACE THEM WITH A STRONGER MATERIAL TO PREVENT CRACKING.

• 12/23/2013· AIR BAGS,STRUCTURE

  THE DASHBOARD ON MY AVALANCHE HAS DEVELOPED A FAIRLY SIGNIFICANT CRACK RIGHT NEXT TO THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. THE CRACK STARTS FROM TOWARDS THE WINDSHIELD SIDE AND LEADS UP TO AND TERMINATES AT THE CREVICE WHERE THE AIRBAG IS LOCATED. THIS IN MY OPINION JEOPARDIZES THE INTEGRITY OF THE AIRBAG. THE CONCERNS ARE THAT (A) THE AIRBAG MAY NOT DEPLOY IN THE INTENDED DIRECTION (B) MAY GET RUPTURED DUE TO MAKING CONTACT WITH THE SHARP EDGES OF THE CRACK OR (C) MAY DEPLOY UNINTENTIONALLY DUE TO THE WEAKNESS OF THE MATERIAL HOLDING IT IN PLACE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND GM NEEDS TO ADDRESS IT AS SUCH. *TR

AND THE SAD THING IS WE DONT HAVE THE MONEY TO HAVE OUR TRUCK TOWED INTO TOWN AND GET IT FIXED. BECASUE THEY TELLS US THAT THEY HAVE SO MANY PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. I FEEL LIKE GM SHOULD DO A RECALL OR PEOPLE SHOULD BE ABLE TO DO A GROUP LAWSUIT TOWARD GM FOR SUCH A BIG DEAL LIKE THIS IS. AND ALSO OUR DASHES ARE ALL CRACKED DOWN THE MIDDLE. WHICH ON THAT SIGHT THERE ARE ALOT HAVING SAME ISSUE.

I HAVE BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH MY 2007 AVALANCE STABILITRAK TRACTION CONTROL TURNING OFF INTERMITINGLY. I HAVE HAD MY TRUCK TO THE DEALER 3 TIMES ON THIS ISSUE AND I AM STILL WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS STARTED OVER A YEAR AGO AND WHEN BRINGING IT IN FOR SERVICE THERE WERE NO CODES FOUND FOR THIS PROBLEM. TODAY AFTER PICKING UP MY TRUCK ONCE AGAIN AND PAYING THE DEALER TO REPLACE THE REMOTE CONTROL DOOR LOCK RECEIVER BEING ONE OF THE CODES SHOWING THIS DID NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM AND THE PART REMOVED WAS STILL GOOD.

EVERYTIME I START MY TRUCK EVEN SITTING AT IDLE THE BELL STARTS CHIMING AND THE TRIANGLE SIGNAND THE WARNING READS SERVICE STABILITRAK THEN SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL (OFF) ACTIVATES WITHIN A FEW MINIUTS.

THE CRASH CAUSED A LARGE AMOUNT OF DAMAGE TO THE SUV AS WELL AS A LARGE AMOUNT OF DAMAGE TO MY 2007 AVALANCHE. THE IMPACT HIT MY FRONT DRIVERS CORNER. MY AIR BAGS DID "NOT" DEPLOY!!!! THERE IS NOW A WARNING LIGHT ON MY DASH INFO CENTER. I GOT THAT INFO FROM THE INS ADJUSTER WHO CALLED TO LET ME KNOW THE TRUCK IS GOING TO BE REPAIRED. MY CONCERN IS THAT WHY DIDN'T MY AIR BAGS DEPLOY??? I HAVE BEEN DOING SOME READING AND THERE SEAMS TO BE A MAJOR ISSUE WITH GM'S AVALANCHE MODELS AND AIR BAG ISSUES. IT IS WELL DOCUMENTED ON SEVERAL WEB SITE THREW OUT THE INTERNET. I EVEN FOUND SOME INFO ON SERVICE NOTICES POSTED BY GM TO DEALERS. IF GM KNOWS THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE WHY HAS THERE NOT BEEN A NATIONAL RECALL? I WAS INVOLVED IN A MAJOR ACCIDENT AND DID NOT HAVE THE ADDED BENEFIT OF THE SAFETY DEVICES THAT ARE SUPPOSED TO SAVE MY LIFE I PAID FOR THAT ADDED SAFETY IN THE HIGH PURCHASE PRICE OF MY TRUCK. WHY DIDN'T THEY WORK LIKE THEY ARE INTENDED TO???? THANK THE LORD IT WAS JUST ME IN THE TRUCK!! GOD FORBID HAD MY FAMILY BEEN IN THE TRUCK WITH ME, I CAN'T IMAGINE THE OUT COME!!! SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE, THERE IS CLEARLY A SAFETY ISSUE WITH THESE SYSTEMS. GM KNOWS THERE IS A PROBLEM BUT HAS DONE NOTHING TO SOLVE IT. WHAT WILL IT TAKE??? A DEATH??? I CERTAINLY HOPE NOT!!!! I SUFFERED SOME INJURIES, NONE INTERNAL BUT I AM STILL RECOVERING, I WONDER IF THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN MINIMIZED HAD MY AIR BAGS WORKED LIKE THEY SHOULD HAVE!

  THE DASH HAS CRACKED IN MULTIPLE PLACES STARTING AT THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. THIS IS THE THIRD DASH IN THIS VEHICLE REPLACED FOR THE SAME THING. THIS IS POSING A SERIOUS DANGER IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT AND THE DEPLOYMENT OF THE AIRBAG. THE DASH COULD ALSO CREATE A SERIOUS DANGER IN THROWING SHARP PROJECTILE PIECES IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT. GM HAS HAD MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS FROM 2007 TO 2012 FOR FAULTY DASHES BUT WILL NOT RECALL THEM OR REPLACE THEM AT NO COST TO THE CONSUMER. THERE IS A FACEBOOK FORUM FOR THIS VERY ISSUE RIGHT NOW (SEARCH "07-13 GM CRACKED DASH SAFETY HAZARD FOR ALL TRUCKS"). PLEASE LOOK AT THIS FACEBOOK PAGE AS THERE ARE MANY PICTURES OF DASHES CRACKED IN THE SAME PLACES. IT APPEARS THIS ISSUE IS NATIONWIDE AND HAS NO RELATION TO CLIMATE OR LOCATION.
