2007 CHEVROLET AVALANCHE Air Bags Problems

First recall, Only dealer on Island (Hawaii) went out of business and couldn't be done by a GM dealer. Windshield washer fluid heater was removed by a mechanic shop at my own expense. Second recall, The passenger airbag inflator hasn't been done due to the fact that 2007 - 2014 Chevy Avalanche, Tahoe, Suburban & GMC Yukon are known for cracked dashboards which includes my Avalanche. My dashboard was cracked before the airbag recall and I covered the dashboard with fiberglass mat and resin to repair it as a new dashboard was not covered by warranty and exceeded over $2,000.00 to replace. The area to access the airbag is sealed and would require a new dashboard. There is now a new Chevy dealer here that can do the recall but I would have to pay the cost to replace the dashboard so it hasn't been done as I'm not able or willing to pay for the additional expense.

Airbag warning won't go says my airbag is disabled

The contact owned a 2007 Chevrolet Avalanche. The contact stated that while driving at approximately 60 MPH, he lost control of the vehicle after driving over a pothole and crashed into a telephone pole. The pole fell on the vehicle and the fire department had to remove the contact from the vehicle. The front passenger's side of the vehicle was damaged. The air bags in the vehicle failed to deploy during the impact. The contact sustained three fractured ribs and one lacerated lung which required medical attention via hospital. The vehicle was towed and deemed destroyed. A police report was filed. The contact mentioned that the vehicle was previously serviced for an unknown NHTSA Campaign Number for the Air Bags prior to the crash. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 100,000.

Was going down the road and there was a big load bang or pop that sounded like a bomb went and the seatbelts sucked us back and locked us in place and then the service airbag light came on the light stays on the seatbelts are locked up can remove and it was like the air bags says will no longer deploy/work and now can't use the seatbelts and the law says no seatbelt use we get a ticket so now can't drive truck unless I want a ticket. So what do I do now I am disabled and this my only vehicle that I need to get to the doctors with so how to get it fixed is the manufacturer responsibility. My email is [XXX] My phone number is [XXX] Would like someone to contact me ASAP PLEASE INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Dash is cracked in so many spots and missing peices to where it is unsafe. In an accident those loose and broken peices can hurt a passenger/driver. Can't even get the airbag recall taken care of because the dash is too damaged.

Have a 2007 Chevy Avalanche LTZ 5.3L that has a dashboard panel that is completely falling apart and cracking everywhere. This includes MULTIPLE cracks and broken pieces surrounding the airbag. I am worried these pieces could get propelled by the airbag if the airbag were to deploy. These cracks and broken parts of the dash have also caused multiple other things to become loose. The controls on the front of the dash are falling out because they can no longer be bolted to the dashboard panel due to it's pieces being broken. I was hoping chevy had a recall as this is an issue with many of their trucks but could not find any information about it. I was hoping there might be some information or help with supplying a replacement dashboard panel part #15915974 from GM/Chevrolet. Thank you.

DASHBOARD CRACKED IN MULTIPLE LOCATIONS, WITHOUT ANY MAJOR ACCIDENT/NO AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT.

I CALLED GM CUSTOMER SATISFACTION AND WAS TOLD THAT GM IS INTERNALLY CONDUCTING TESTS ON THE TAKATA AIRBAGS AND CURRENTLY FEEL THERE IS NO "UNREASONABLE" RISK BUT THEY ARE STILL INVESTIGATING AND REVIEWING THE SITUATION. IF THE MANUFACTURER (TAKATA) HAS DETERMINED THERE IS A DEFECT AND RISK BASED ON THEIR AIRBAG INFLATOR DESIGN I WANT THE INFLATOR REPLACED AND NOT RUN THE RISK THAT IT FALSELY GOES OFF CAUSING PHYSICAL HARM OR DEATH TO A PASSENGER. THE RISK IN GM'S OPINION MIGHT BE LOW MEANING THEIR COST ANALYSIS BETWEEN SETTLING CLAIMS VERSUS REPLACING THE INFLATORS IN POTENTIALLY MILLIONS OF VEHICLES IS DRIVING THEIR INACTION. GM SAID IF THERE IS AN UPDATE I CAN CHECK THEIR RECALL WEBSITE AND THEY WOULD BE SENDING OUT LETTERS - THIS IS THE SAME THING THEY TOLD ME ABOUT A YEAR AGO AND I'VE RECEIVED NO UPDATE FROM GM.

TAKATA RECALL IT HAS BEEN OVER A YEAR SINCE I RECEIVED THE RECALL NOTICE WITH NO REMEDY TO DATE. WHILE GM CONSIDERS THE VEHICLE SAFE TO DRIVE, THE SAFETY RISK DESCRIPTION STATES: "THE PROPELLANT IN SOME TYPES OF TAKATA AIRBAG INFLATORS CAN DEGRADE OVER TIME, ESPECIALLY AFTER LONG TERM EXPOSURE IN HOT AND HUMID REGIONS. IF THE PROPELLANT DEGRADES TO A CERTAIN LEVEL, THE INFLATORS MAY RUPTURE DURING DEPLOYMENT, CAUSING SERIOUS OR FATAL INJURIES". THIS DOES NOT SOUND SAFE TO ME, ESPECIALLY SINCE I LIVE IN SUGAR LAND, TX WHERE THERE ARE LONG PERIODS OF HIGH HEAT AND HUMIDITY WHICH EFFECTS THE AIRBAG DEGRADATION.

DASHBOARD HAS DEVELOPED SEVERE CRACKING ON DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDES ESPECIALLY AROUND THE AIRBAG AREA. THIS IS THE SECOND DASHBOARD IN THIS VEHICLE. MY CONCERN IS THAT THE AIRBAG MAY BE PUNCTURED OR OTHERWISE INEFFECTIVE UPON DEPLOYMENT DUE TO THE INSTABILITY AND SHARP, BROKEN PIECES OF PLASTIC DASHBOARD.

MY AIRBAG DID NOT FIRE , BUT HAZARD LIGHTS, EMERGENCY SYSTEMS ACTIVATED. I TRIED TO SUBMIT A SAFETY CLAIM THROUGH CHEVY BUT AFTER 5 WEEKS THEY DENIED MY CLAIM . THEY SENT OUT AN INVESTIGATOR WHO FOUND THE SDM MODULE HAD BEEN CORRODED DUE TO WATER DAMAGE . AFTER INVESTIGATING THIS ON THE INTERNET I FOUND THIS SAME ISSUE TO HAPPEN TO MANY TRUCK OWNERS. LONG STORY SHORT , DO I HAVE ANY RE-COURSE? DO YOU HAVE ANNOY PREVIOUS CLAIMS ON THE SDM MODULE AND PRETENSIONERS FIRING OUT OF THE BLUE? CHEVY SAYS I HAVE TO PAY THE BILL TO GET IT FIXED . IT WAS QUITE THE TRAUMATIC EXPERIENCE AND I THOUGHT I HAD GOTTEN SHOT DUE TO THE PRESSURE AND NOISE . I CAN'T IMAGINE IF MY DAUGHTERS WERE IN THE CAR AND THE DAMAGE IT COULD HAVE CAUSED TO THEM .

ALSO ON THE DRIVERS SIDE, THE CRACKS ARE HUGE OVER THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AND I'M AFRAID SHRAPNEL COULD COME LOOSE AND CAUSE INJURY, THE CRACKS STARTED WHEN THE TRUCK WAS STATIONARY BUT GETS WORSE WHEN DRIVING.

I HAVE A TRUCK WITH A AIR BAG RECALL BUT, ON TOP OF THAT I HAVE ANOTHER CRACK IN THE SAME PLACE ON THE DASHBOARD THAT WAS REPLACED ONCE ALREADY WHILE UNDER WARRANTY. I FEAR AIR BAG WILL CAUSE DASH TO COME OUT A STRIKE PASSENGER WHILE RIDING.

RECEIVED A NOTICE ON A RECALL THAT STATES THAT AROUND THE END OF MAY 2016 GM BEGAN NOTIFYING OWNERS THAT A RECALL WAS IN PLACE FOR DEFECTIVE AIRBAG INFLATORS THAT MAY DEGRADE OVER TIME ESPECIALLY IN HOT AND HUMID CLIMATES. THAT THEY POSE A RUPTURE RISK AND FROM RESEARCHING ON THE NHTSA WEBSITE IF THIS HAPPENS METAL PARTICLES COULD INJURE OCCUPANTS...BUT GM STATES THE VEHICLE IS SAFE? AND THAT PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE FOR REPAIR YET. SO MY QUESTION, IT'S LATE AUGUST 2016 AND I LIVE IN DALLAS, TX WITH HOT HUMID DAYS FOR MONTHS, WHAT IS CONSIDERED AN APPROPRIATE TIME TO RESOLVE? AND HOW IS THIS NOT A CONCERN AND CONSIDERED SAFE??? MY IRRITATION IS THAT IF I HAVE A SUSCEPTIBLE PIPE BOMB HERE, WHY ISN'T THERE AN IMMEDIATE CORRECTIVE ACTION HAPPENING??

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.

I'M WRITING THIS ON BEHALF OF ALL 2007-20013 GM TRUCK OWNERS WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS SAME PROBLEM AND GM HAS FAILED TO OFFER ANY ASSISTANT IN MAKING REPAIRS ONCE WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED. I SAY THIS BECAUSE IT'S HAPPEN ON MY OWN ACCOUNT AND THOUSANDS OTHER IN READING THE FORUMS ON THE WEB. MY MAIN CONCERN IS THAT THE AIR BAG IS NOT PROPERLY SEATED IN THE DASH ONCE THE CRACKS OCCUR AROUND IT AND COULD HAVE A MAJOR EFFECT TO IT PROPERLY DEPLOYING. FURTHERMORE IF IT DID HAPPEN TO DEPLOY IT WOULD HAVE THE POTENTIAL OF THE WEAKENED DASH TO EXPLODE AND SEND SHARP PARTICLES OF PLASTIC THROUGHOUT THE CABIN POSSIBLY CAUSING FURTHER INJURIES. I WOULD APPRECIATE IT IF YOU COULD LOOK INTO THIS AS A SERIOUS CONCERN ON BEHALF OF ALL GM TRUCK OWNERS. *TR

A BIG CRACK APPEARED ON MY 2007 CHEVY AVALANCHE DASHBOARD JUST ABOVE THE CLUSTER (PASSENGERS SIDE). A SECOND CRASH APPEARED JUST NEXT TO THE PASSENGER AIR BAG COVER, WHICH IS A POTENTIAL SAFETY ISSUE.. I WOULDN'T LIKE TO SEE PLASTIC PARTS ON MY PASSENGERS EYES IF AN ACCIDENT OCCURS. *TR

AS I WAS DRIVING MY AVALANCHE THE STABILITY TRACK AND TRACTION CONTROL TURNED ON MY TRUCK REDUCED POWER TO HALF AND IT PULLED RIGHT. I DROVE INTO LOTS OF DIRT AND MY BRAKES WERE AFFECTED TOO. 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. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THE SERVICE DEPT AT THE CHEVY DEALER HAS NO CLUE ON HOW TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM. 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. THIS KEEPS GOING ON AND OFF AS I AM DRIVING AND WHEN ITS IN THE OFF POSITION THE TRANS SHIFTS GEARS VERY HARD. LOOKING TROUGH THIS FORUM I CAN SEE THAT THIS HAD BEEN A MAJOR PROBLEM IN THE PAST WITH 2003 AND UP AND THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE TALKING ABOUTTHIS ISSUE WITH THEIR TRUCKSBUT I HAVE NOT COME ACROSS ANYONE WHO CAN GIVE THE ANSWER ON HOW TO RESOLVE THIS PROBLEM. DOSE ANYONE ELSE HAVE THIS PROBLEM OR HAVE HEARD OF THIS BEING A PROBLEM WITH AN ANSWER. *TR

NOTICED CRACKS IN DASHBOARD AROUND 25,000 MILES CALLED GM AND COMPLAINED... WAS TOLD TO TAKE TRUCK TO LOCAL DEALER AND AFTER COMPLAINING DASH WAS REPLACED... NOW I NOTICE THE REPLACE DASH HAS SINCE BROKEN AGAIN! THIS TIME IT DID NOT CRACK INSTEAD PIECES THAT CONNECT THE DASH ARE BROKEN. NOW THERE IS A BIG GAP IN THE DASH WERE IT IS SUPPOSE TO CONNECT. *TR

THERE IS A CRACK IN DASH AT SITE OF PASSENGER AIRBAG AND A CRACK ON DASH ABOVE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER PANEL. NEVER HAD AN ACCIDENT OR DAMAGE TO VEHICLE. WE ARE THE ORIGINAL OWNERS. WE ARE CONCERNED THAT THE PASSENGER AIRBAG COULD BE COMPROMISED AND DEPLOY WITHOUT INCIDENT. DON'T KNOW HOW LONG IT HAS BEEN THERE BUT NOTICED IT IN JUNE. WITH ALL THE AIRBAG RECALLS, WE FEEL THIS COULD BE ONE ALSO AS WE HAVE FOUND OTHER CHEVROLET OWNERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE. *TR

MY DASHBOARD CRACKED AT THE NARROWEST PART, WHICH IS ALSO AT THE CORNER OF THE AIRBAG STATION (PASSENGER SIDE). I CAN HAVE A COVER MADE FOR IT. (I'M NOT SURE I COULD AFFORD TO HAVE IT REPLACED) BUT, MY MAIN CONCERN IS, COULD THAT INTERFERE WITH THE DEPLOYMENT OF THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG? *TR

I HAVE CRACKS IN MY DASH RIGHT AROUND THE AIRBAG COVER. 2 OF THEM AROUND AN INCH LONG AND EXPANDING AS TIME GOES ON. I WORRY ABOUT IF A AIRBAG DEPLOYS THAT IT MAY CAUSE PLASTIC TO BREAK OFF AND FLY INTO SOMEONES FACE, NOT ALLOW A BAG TO DEPLOY CORRECTLY OR CUT AN AIRBAG AS IT DEPLOYS. FROM THINGS I'VE FOUND USING GOOGLE THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE THAT GM WILL NOT ADMIT TO OR FIX. THEY EVEN WENT AS FAR AS TO CHANGE THE DASH PART(REINFORCED PLASTIC IN THE PROBLEM AREAS) AND THE PART NUMBER. IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THIS PART STILL DOES THIS. BUT SEEMS TO TAKE LONGER TO APPEAR. *TR

MY AIR BAG LIGHT ON THE DASH LIGHT UP AND I BROUGHT IT IN TO KOLOR CHEVY IN DULUTH, MN.. THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY HAD RECEIVED A LETTER ON THE PROBLEM AND WANTED TO CHARGE ME BETWEEN $200 AND$ 300. I TOLD THEM THAT I THOUGHT THE AIR BAGS WERE A REQUIREMENT BY LAW TO BE IN WORKING ORDER. THEY TOLD ME THE BAGS MAY NOT WORK AND WOULDN'T FIX THEM WITH OUT PAYMENT AS THERE IS NO RECALL HOWEVER THEY WERE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. CAN YOU CHECK THIS FOR ME??

WELL KNOWN ISSUE THAT THE DASH CRACKS AROUND THE AIRBAGS, IF THE AIRBAGS DO DEPLOY, THIS CAN SEND DEADLY SHARP PLASTIC PIECES FLYING BECAUSE THE DASH PLASTIC IS SO BRITTLE. HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. VERY COMMON ON THESE YEAR MODEL TAHOES, SUBURBANS AND AVALANCHES BUT GM WILL NOT CORRECT. *TR

DRIVING ON A NORMAL PAVED ROAD I HEARD TWO FAIRLY LOUD "POP" SOUNDS. STOPPED AND PULLED OVER TO SEE IF I COULD FIND SOURCE OF THE SOUNDS. NOTHING HAD FALLEN, NO WINDOWS BROKEN, BUT NOTICED 2 CRACKS ON UPPER DASHBOARD WHERE THE PASSENGER AIRBAG RESIDES. PRESSED ON THAT AREA AND WAS ABLE TO SEE THE DASH HAD COMPLETELY CRACKED APART AND WAS "FLOPPING". PROCEEDED TO DRIVE AND IN NEXT MILE ANOTHER "POP" SOUND OCCURRED, THIS TIME IT WAS AN EVEN LARGER CRACK ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE DASH NEAR THE INSTRUMENT PANEL, AND THE ENTIRE TOP PORTION OF THE DASH DRIVERS SIDE TO PASSENGER SIDE WAS NOW BOUNCING UP AND DOWN BY ABOUT 1-2INCHES. I FEAR IF THE DRIVERS A-PILLAR SIDE AIRBAG OR THE PASSENGER MAIN AIRBAG ARE DEPLOYED, THAT FRAGMENTS AND LARGE PIECES OF THE HARD DASH PLASTIC CAN BE THROWN AT HIGH-SPEED TO PEOPLE IN THE CABIN...THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE AS A SAFETY CONCERN. I ATTEMPTED A RESOLUTION THRU GM, WHO WANTED ALMOST $1000 TO DO THE REPAIR, EVEN THOUGH THE ACKNOWLEDGE ITS A COMMON PROBLEM, THEY DO NOT SEEM WILLING TO COME TO A COMMON RESOLUTION.

MY DASH IS CRACKED RIGHT AT THE TOP LEFT OF MY PASSENGER AIRBAG. MY DASH IS ALSO CRACKED ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE DASH NEAR STEERING COLUMN. THE ARE HUNDREDS OF ONLINE FORMS WITH THE SAME ISSUES WITH THE SAME VEHICLE ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS TYPE IN AVALANCHE DASH BOARD CRACKS IN A SEARCH ENGINE. MY BIG ISSUE IS I CAN NOT GET ANY CHEVY DEALER TO TELL ME THE CRACK WILL NOT AFFECT THE DEPLOYMENT OF THE AIRBAG. THIS A BIG SAFETY CONCERN IF I GET IN A ACCIDENT. *TR

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

AROUND THE MAY 2012 TIMEFRAME I HAD TO TAKE MY 2007 CHEVROLET AVALANCHE IN TO A LOCAL DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE TO THE CRACKED DASHBOARD NEAR THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG. THE DEALERSHIP AGREED THAT THIS WAS A DEFECTIVE ISSUE THROUGH OUT A NUMBER OF OTHER GM MODELS. THE DEALERSHIP AGREED TO REPLACE THE DASHBOARD AT NO CHARGE. THIS WEEK ON 9 DECEMBER 2013 I NOTICED ANOTHER CRACK IN THE NEW DASHBOARD. JUST SLIGHTLY OVER A YEAR THIS HAS HAPPENED AGAIN BUT THIS TIME IN A NEW LOCATION. THIS CRACK IS ON THE DRIVERS SIDE NEAR THE FRONT OF THE WINDSHIELD NEAR THE VIN NUMBER PLATE TO THE BASE OF THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. THIS CRACK IN THE PAST TWO DAYS IS OPENING MORE AND MORE EVERYDAY. ON 10 DECEMBER THE CRACK HAS NOW FORMED A "V" SHAPE AND HAS SPLIT TO TOWARDS THE DRIVERS DOOR. I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN TODAY AND THE DEALERSHIP, THE SAME DEALERSHIP THAT REPLACED THE DASHBOARD THE FIRST TIME, SAID NO AND THAT THEY COULD NO LONGER HELP ME AND RECOMMENDED TO ME THAT I JUST GET A "COVER" TO NOT SEE IT AND BOTHER ME. I PAID NEARLY $40,000 FOR THE TRUCK AND KEEP VERY GOOD CARE OF IT. I FEEL THAT THESE CRACKS ARE A SAFETY CONCERN THAT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED AND FIXED. THE DEALERSHIPS AROUND THE COUNTRY HAVE ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THIS IS AN ISSUE AND THEY WILL NO LONGER HELP. OTHER OWNERS LIKE ME ARE HAVING THIS ISSUE AND WE NEED HELP TO GET OUR VEHICLES FIXED. PLEASE HELP ALL OF US IN GETTING THIS ISSUE FIXED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. *TR

I AM THE OWNER OF A 2007 AVALANCHE WHERE THE SAFETY OF THE VEHICLE IS IN QUESTION. MY WIFE WAS SITTING STATIONARY AT A RED LIGHT AND FOR SOME REASON BOTH SEAT BELTS VIOLENTLY RETRACTED TO THE POINT OF INJURING HER AND CAUSING DAMAGE TO PASSENGER SEAT TRIM. ALSO THE EMERGENCY FLASHERS WOULD NOT SHUT OFF AND ON-STAR WAS CALLED TWICE. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS BEING DRIVEN TO THE DEALER FOR SERVICE CHECK TODAY, BOTH SIDE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED UNEXPECTEDLY?MY WIFE HAD TO IMMEDIATELY STOP THE VEHICLE WITHIN A MILE OF OUR HOME, TURN AROUND, AND LEAVE IT PARKED. I NOW HAVE A VEHICLE THAT HAS SEAT BELTS THAT WILL NOT RETRACT, SIDE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED, AND SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT CONTINUALLY ON UNABLE TO BE DRIVEN. FORTUNATELY THERE WERE NOT MORE SERIOUS REPERCUSSIONS DUE TO THIS VEHICLES FAILURES. WE EXPECT YOUR QUICK ADDRESS OF THIS AND AT NO COST.TO US. JUST THANKFUL LIVES WERE NOT LOST DUE TO WHATEVER CAUSED THIS PROBLEM. *TR

THE DASH IS CRACKED NEXT TO THE AIRBAG ON PASSENGER SIDE. MANUFACTURER REFUSES TO FIX OR REPLACE WITHOUT THE CONSUMER TAKING RESPONSIBILITY AND PAYING FOR REPLACEMENT. THIS IS A ONE OWNER VEHICLE, GARAGE PARKED, DASH-MAT SINCE FIRST ACQUIRED TRUCK. THIS SEEMS TO BE A VERY WIDESPREAD PROBLEM FOR GM VEHICLES OF THE SAME MAKE AND OTHER SIMILAR VEHICLES. I HAVE A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN THAT THE AIRBAG UPON DEPLOYMENT WILL BE RUPTURED AND BECOME INEFFECTIVE DUE TO THE CRACK IN THE DASH POSSIBLY PUNCTURING THE AIRBAG. IT IS ALSO VERY EVIDENT THAT THIS IS A MANUFACTURING FLAW THAT GM WILL NOT STAND UP FOR AND TAKE RESPONSIBILITY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET AVALANCHE. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING 35 MPH WHEN THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED INDEPENDENTLY. THE SEAT BELTS BECAME ABNORMALLY TIGHT AND THE HAZARD LIGHTS ACTIVATED. THE DRIVER SUSTAINED MINOR BRUISING AND INJURIES TO THE NECK AND EARS FROM THE AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHO ADVISED THAT THEY WOULD BE INSPECTING THE VEHICLE TO DETERMINE WHY THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED BUT STATED THEY COULD OFFER NO ASSISTANCE UNTIL THEY RECEIVED THE RESULTS OF THE INSPECTION FROM THE DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED.

DASH CRACK FAR LEFT CORNER ON 07 AVALANCHE CAUSES AIRBAG UNIT TO NOT SIT PROPERLY IN MOUNTS. AREA ON INDICATED PART OF DASH FLIMSY NOT REINFORCED. DAMAGE CAUSED BY HEAT (SPECULATING,) SPILT 2" FROM 0" IN 6HRS DURING DRIVE FROM SAN DIEGO CA TO LAS VEGAS NV, NO PRIOR DAMAGE OR SIGNS OF STRESS. DUE TO PASSENGER AIRBAG NOT SEATED PROPERLY, AFRAID IF AIRBAG DEPLOYED MAY NOT DEPLOY CORRECTLY. DEALER CONSIDERS CRACK COSMETIC, SAYS AIRBAG IS INDEPENDENT AND SHOULD NOT BE AFFECTED WHICH I AGREE BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN IT WILL OPEN IF IT CAN BE "JARRED" FROM ITS SEATING IN THE DASH IF IT CAN DISLODGE. AND IN AN ACCIDENT WITH ENOUGH FORCE TO DEPLOY AIRBAG IT COULD BE THRUST UPWARD FROM ITS SEATING AND THUS CHANGING THE ANGLES OF WHICH IT IS INTENDED TO COVER DURING DEPLOYMENT. I SEE A POTENTIAL FLAW HERE DUE TO OVERSIGHT IN ENGINEERING AND FEEL IT NEEDS FURTHER REVIEW. I HAVE INCLUDED A VIDEO I FOUND ON YOUTUBE THAT SHOWS A DASH IN A 07 TAHOE (SAME DASH AS 07 AVALANCHE) WHICH IS CRACKED THE SAME WAY, IT CLEARLY SHOWS HOW DUE TO THIS CRACK THE AIRBAG UNIT IS NOT SECURE IN ITS SEATING AND COULD POTENTIALLY "JUMP OUT" AS WELL THE FLIMSINESS IN THE DASH AREA I AM SPECULATING TOWARDS LACK OF REINFORCEMENT. HTTP://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=_DRP8SLWVGO&FEATURE=RELATED *PLEASE NOTE THAT NO CRACK OR INDICATION OF STRESS WAS VISIBLE 2 DAYS PRIOR, DEALER CONSIDERS CRACK TO BE STRICTLY COSMETIC AND NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. I AGREE THE CRACK IN NATURE IS COSMETIC HOWEVER BEING THAT IT CAN DISRUPT A CRUCIAL LIFE-SAVING COMPONENT THE MANUFACTURE SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO REPAIR SO THAT ALL POSSIBLE EFFECTED SYSTEMS FUNCTION CORRECTLY AS REQUIRED. *TR

I HAD BEEN NOTICING THAT THERE WAS A SLIGHT NOISE ON THE RIGHT FRONT END OF MY 2007 AVALANCHE. I CHECKED THE UNDERCARRIAGE AND DIDN'T NOTICE ANYTHING WRONG. I HAD AN OIL CHANGE DONE AND IT CAME W/ A FREE TIRE ROTATION. THE SOUND SEEMED TO BE GONE AFTER THAT , I CAN'T BE SURE. THE TRUCK HAD APPROX. 12,000 MILES ON IT. I WAS GOING TO DROP OFF SOME PAPERS WITH A CUSTOMER ON OCT. 6TH WHEN I HEARD THE NOISE AGAIN. I WAS LOOKING FOR THE CUSTOMER'S TRACTOR THAT WE WERE REPAIRING IN THE FIELD AND WAS SLIGHTLY BOTHERED BY THE SUN SO I PUT ONE OF MY HANDS UP TO BLOCK THE SUN. WHEN I LOOKED BACK AT THE ROAD, I WAS IN THE WRONG LANE. I TRIED TO CORRECT AND THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED ON IT'S OWN! I APPLIED THE BRAKES BUT DIDN"T GET THE SAME RESPONSE AS BEFORE. I ENDED UP IN A CONCRETE DITCH. BY THE WAY, THE AIRBAG DIDN'T DEPLOY AND THE ONSTAR DIDN'T GET HELP THERE EITHER. I TALKED TO GM AND THEY KIND OF JUST BRUSHED IT OFF. I STILL HAVE PHYSICAL AND EMOTIONAL ISSUES BECAUSE OF IT. *TR
