  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.

• 12/16/2013· VISIBILITY/WIPER

  VEHICLE SUFFERS FROM EXCESSIVE FRONT/SIDE WINDOW FOGGING IN BELOW FREEZING TEMPERATURES AND THE MANUAL HVAC CONTROLS WILL NOT PERMIT THE USE OF A/C TO REMOVE THE HUMIDITY FROM THE CABIN. IN SUMMER MONTHS OR TEMPERATURES ABOVE FREEZING, THE A/C WILL ENGAGE WHEN THE FRONT WINDOW DEFROSTER IS ENABLED AND IS EFFECTIVE. WITH THE HVAC SYSTEM IN FULL DEFROST AND NO A/C, THE FOGGING ACTUALLY GETS WORSE AND VISIBILITY DECREASES TO THE POINT WHERE IT IS NO LONGER SAFE TO DRIVE AND WE HAVE HAD TO PULL OVER AND WIPE THE WINDSHIELD AND SIDE GLASS DOWN. THIS HAS HAPPENED 6 OR SO TIMES SINCE ACQUIRING THE VEHICLE NEW IN 2010. AN ATTEMPT TO HAVE THE DEALER RESOLVE IT WAS NOT SUCCESSFUL. *TR

  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.

• 12/15/2013· STRUCTURE

  THE DASH IS CRACKED AROUND THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. UPON CHECKING THE INTERNET I FOUND THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM ON CHEVROLET TRUCKS. I AM CONCERNED THAT THE STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY OF THE AIR BAG MAY BE COMPROMISED IN THE EVENT OF THE AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT. IT MAY BE POSSIBLE THAT PIECES OF THE AIRBAG COULD BREAK OFF AND STRIKE THE OCCUPANT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT OR IT MAY DEFLECT THE AIR BAG ALTOGETHER. CHEVROLET IS NOT TAKING THE RESPONSIBILITY FOR FIXING THIS EVEN THOUGH IT IS NOT A PART THAT WOULD RECEIVE WEAR AND TEAR AND IT IS JUST AN OBVIOUS DEFECT IN THE DESIGN. *TR

  DASHBOARD CONTAINING PASSENGER SIDE IS SEVERELY CRACKED. IN THE EVENT OF AN AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT, DASHBOARD MAY PREVENT PROPER OPERATION OF AIRBAG OR MAY SHATTER RESULTING IN PARTS OF THE DASHBOARD BEING PROJECTILES TOWARDS THE OCCUPANTS OF THE VEHICLE. GM DEALER COST TO REPLACE DASHBOARD IS PROHIBITIVE. THE DASHBOARDS SHOULD BE REPLACED WITH NEW STYLE THAT GM DEALER CLAIMS NO LONGER CRACKS OR THE AIRBAG DISABLED.

  CRACKED UPPER END OF DASH BOARD. THREE SEPARATE CRACKS APPEARED ON THE UPPER PART OF THE DASH, ONE IS GOING RIGHT ACROSS WHERE THE PASSENGER AIR BAG IS LOCATED. THIS HAPPENED FOR NO APPARENT REASON. THE VEHICLE HAD ABOUT 89000 MILES ON IT WHEN I FIRST OBSERVED THE ISSUE. IT RATTLES LIKE CRAZY WHILE DRIVING ON CITY ROADS AND IT IS PROBABLY A MOJOR SAFETY ISSUE IN THE EVENT OF A AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT.

  Heard a Loud Pop Bang noise then discovered Dash cracked in several multiple places. Currently need to have airbags attended to as when I last called when it was convenient for me to take vehicle into repair , the repair place can’t meet my needs for time frame to repair. Am now afraid driving with all the cracks in dash but can Not be without vehicle.

  THUS FAR, NOTHING HAS "HAPPENED" WITH MY VEHICLE, BUT THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL IN EFFECT FOR THE AIRBAGS IN MY VEHICLE FOR WELL OVER A YEAR AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO REPLACE THE AIRBAGS. I AM ALSO HAVING SOME ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS WITH MY TRUCK NOT SHUTTING OFF WHEN I REMOVE THE KEY, AND THE INTERIOR DOME LIGHTS WILL NOT TURN ON WHEN THE BUTTON IS PRESSED (THIS HAS ALL BEGAN SINCE THE RECALL WAS INITIATED BUT NOT TAKEN CARE OF). I JUST WANT MY AIRBAGS REPLACED, AS THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO BE, GIVEN THE RECALL, AND IF THE RECALLED PARTS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE ADDITIONAL PROBLEMS I AM NOW HAVING WITH MY TRUCK, I WANT THOSE ADDRESSED AND REPAIRED AS WELL. THE LENGTH OF TIME THIS HAS TAKEN TO ADDRESS IS BEYOND UNREASONABLE AND I HAVE BEEN AS PATIENT AS I CAN BE WAITING FOR THIS RECALLED PART TO BE REPLACED. *TR

• 11/01/2024· POWER TRAIN,ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,SERVICE BRAKES

  In October of 2020, my avalanche only would start in winter after disconnecting and reconnecting the battery. It was also on numerous occasions go into limp mode while driving at normal city speeds meaning it wouldn’t go above 25 miles an hour. The entire dash would light up. It threw numerous codes. Had to be towed to get it looked at but then would mysteriously start without issue. I took it to young Buick gmc in Layton Utah with no resolution. Finally in December 2020 it was determined by now Heritage Chevrolet in Evanston Wyoming to be the Onstar module. This part was no longer available and couldn’t be replaced. The dealership’s solution was to wire around the faulty part which has allowed the truck to start and no longer go into limp mode from 70mph on highway to 20mph without notice. I immediately got a hold of Chevrolet to get a satisfactory answer about why I couldn’t get the part that was making the vehicle unsafe to drive. They said the part was no longer being manufactured and it wasn’t their problem sorry about the inconvenience Case number [XXX]. I did have the dealership wire around it so I have the truck working, but Chevrolet did not care about the truck going into limp mode suddenly on the highway and it could have caused an accident. They not not offer any compensation for the part not being manufactured and according to to your website if a part is causing a safety issue they are they are required to have that part fixed. I am still upset about their lack of support and service and want Chevrolet held accountable. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

  TAKATA RECALL: RECALL NUMBER: 16V381 MYSELF, MY WIFE AND KIDS DRIVE MY 2010 CHEVY AVALANCHE. WE LIVE IN A REGION WITH HIGH SUMMER TEMPS, ALONG WITH VERY HIGH HUMIDITY LEVELS. I AM CONCERNED FOR THE SAFETY OF MY ENTIRE FAMILY. WHAT DO I DO NOW? FOR GM TO NOT HAVE A REMEDY AVAILABLE TO REPLACE THE FAULTY AIRBAGS IS UNACCEPTABLE. WHEN WILL THIS TAKATA AIRBAG ISSUE BE RESOLVED? HOW CAN I, IN GOOD CONSCIENCE ALLOW MY FAMILY TO DRIVE THIS TRUCK?

• 10/27/2015· VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL,ENGINE

  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!!

  I HAVE JUST RECEIVED A CARD IN THE MAIL ABOUT THE TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL. I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE IN THE SHOP FOR OIL CHANGES AT RELIABLE CHEVOLET AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THERE IS A RECALL NOTICE FOR THIS VEHICLE BUT THERE IS NO PART TO REPLACE. I HAVE LOOKED UP MY VIN NUMBER IN A WEB SITE NAMED WWW.AIRBAGRECALL.COM TO DETERMINE IF MY VEHICLE IS ON THE LIST. MY 2010 CHEVOLET AVALANCE IS ON THE LIST. I AM NOT SURE HOW TO PROCEED SINCE THE DEALER TELLS ME THAT THERE IS NO REPLACEMENT PART AVAILABLE. I ALSO HAVE A TIRE SYMBOL APPEAR ON MY DRIVER'S SCREEN.

  MY TRUCK DASH IS CRACKED IN TWO PLACES. ONE CRACK IS NEAR THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG AND THE OTHER IS ON TOP OF THE INSTRUMENT PANEL ON THE DRIVER SIDE. THE ONE ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER IS VERY VERY BAD IT'S ABOUT 6 INCHES LONG AND COMPLETELY CAVED IN. MY VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY BECAUSE IT IS 4 YEARS OLD BUT IT IS ONLY 2000 MILES OUT OF WARRANTY BY MILEAGE.

  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.

• 10/05/2017· AIR BAGS,UNKNOWN OR OTHER

  DASH CRACKED IN MULTIPLE LOCATIONS, ONE OVER THE INSTRUMENT PANEL, SECOND ONE UPPER LEFT OF PASSENGER AIRBAG, THIRD ONE UPPER RIGHT OF SAME AIRBAG. CENTER CLIP ON MAIN PART OF DASH BEHIND SPEAKER BROKE OFF DUE TO POOR DESIGN/CHEAP MATERIAL. FIRST NOTICED DASH VIBRATING WHEN VEHICLE IN MOTION ON HIGHWAY, DOWNHILL FROM THERE. TOOK TO DEALER AND GM, UNWILLING TO REPAIR/REPLACE WITHOUT $. QUICK SEARCH SHOWS IT TO BE A MAJOR ISSUE IN 2007+ AVALANCHES, SUBURBANS, TAHOES, ESCALADES, SIERRAS, SILVERADOS. NOT SURE WHAT IMPACT THESE CRACKS WILL HAVE ON AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT/PASSENGER SAFETY.

• 10/04/2016· AIR BAGS,UNKNOWN OR OTHER

  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?

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.

  I WAS ON VACATION AND HAD MY AVALANCHE RUNNING WHILE I PACKED IT UP TO RETURN HOME. AFTER ABOUT 5 MINUTES OF RUNNING IDLE, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE DISPLAY SHOWED REDUCED ENGINE POWER, SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL, AND SERVICE STABILITRAK. THIS HAD HAPPENED TO THE TRUCK THREE TIMES BEFORE AND EACH TIME THEY REPLACED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL POSITIONAL SENSOR. (I ALSO HAD A 2007 CHEVROLET TAHOE, AND AFTER HAVING IT REPAIRED SEVEN TIMES FOR FAILING SENSORS AND GOING INTO REDUCED ENGINE POWER WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY THREE TIMES WE WERE FORCED TO SELL IT). WE ARE VERY FAMILIAR WITH THIS ISSUE! HOWEVER, I WAS ABLE TO LOCATE A DEALERSHIP IN THE AREA AND THEY TESTED IT TO FIND THAT THE THROTTLE BODY WAS OUT, AND THEY REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY AND THE ASSOCIATED SENSOR. I WAS RELIEVED TO HEAR THAT THIS WAS A DIFFERENT ISSUE THAN BEFORE AND THAT MY PROBLEMS WERE FIXED. THIS WAS NOT THE CASE.

I WAS ABLE TO GET IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND ARE WORKING ON IT NOW. THIS IF THE FIFTH TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED TO MY TRUCK. MY WIFE AND I JUST SOLD OUR 2007 CHEVROLET TAHOE AND THE ONLY REASON WAS THE ENGINE POWER REDUCED ERROR OCCURRED ON IT SEVEN TIMES, THREE IN MONTH PRIOR TO SELLING IT. THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM AND COULD HAVE EASILY RESULTED IN A SEVERE ACCIDENT. BOTH CARS WERE ONLY EVER SERVICED AT CHEVROLET DEALERSHIPS AND EACH TIME, THEY INSISTED IT WAS FIXED AND THE PROBLEM WAS GONE. WE HAVE NO FAITH IN CHEVROLET AT THIS TIME! *TR

  I HAVE TWO CRACKS ON MY DASHBOARD. ONE DEVELOPED OVER THE AIR BAG ON THE PASSENGER SIDE ONE MORNING BEFORE LEAVING FOR WORK. THE TRUCK ALWAYS SITS IN THE SHADE AND OUT OF THE SUN...IT WASNT EVEN HOT THE DAY IT HAPPENED SO HEAT CAN'T POSSIBLY BE AN ISSUE. THE SECOND CRACK DEVELOPED ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AND HAPPENED DURING THE WINTER....I WAS DRIVING FROM CHICAGO TO WISCONSIN AND THE TRUCK HAD BEEN WARM FOR A GOOD HOUR ALREADY WHEN I HEARD A POP. LOOKED OVER THE DASH AND SAW THE CRACK!
