2007 CHEVROLET AVALANCHE Unknown Or Other Problems

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.

The 2007 Chevy Avalanche dash board shakes vigorously and cracking apart especially near the airbag and steering column. Chevy should issue a recall to fix the the dash board and stabilize the dashboard supports.

The sunroof glass broke broke away while I was in the interstate going 70 miles a hour. It was so scary. Thank God there wasn't anyone behind me at the time. This could have went thru a cars windshield behind me and killed them. They need to build these better or be illegal in the US. I am putting a claim in with my insurance co. I don't know if it's covered. The garage that will be repairing mine said he gets many calls of this happening. Even though it's may not be a vehicle defect like breaks but it surly is a hazard issue. Even the insurance girl I was talking to said one almost hit her. She was lucky she was going up on the side of the vehicle that lost it and not behind it. This has not been a recall and something should be done about sunroofs. Extra brackets to hold them in maybe should be applied on any vehicle with a sunroof. I'm telling you it scared me to death when it broke. My heart was pounding and it could of caused me to panic and get in an accident. I had to drive with one hand holding my inside sliding cover. And if it had been pouring rain I would of had water pouring in and that would be an electrical issue. Please don't let this issue continue. Please have every vehicle with a sunroof recalled and have extra brackets added. Can you imagine if you was driving on the highway and a sunroof came flying at you. It would be worse than the ice on vehicles that is illegal. Never did I ever expect this to happen. I would pray this would come under highway safety. They are so dangerous. I will never purchase another vehicle with one again. I am waiting on the insurance co.

STABILITY CONTROL AND TRACTION CONTROL NOT WORKING CAN NOT FIND PART TO REPPLACE AS GM HAS DISCONTINUED THE PART NEEDED STEERING ANGLE POSITION SENSOR GM PART 15886733 i need this part, why is it discontinued?

DASHBOARD CRACKED IN MULTIPLE LOCATIONS, WITHOUT ANY MAJOR ACCIDENT/NO AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. I AM CONCERNED DASH IS SO BRITTLE ANY AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT WILL CAUSE THE DASHBOARD TO SEPARATE INTO PIECES AND BECOME SHRAPNEL. I'M THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THE VEHICLE. THE FIRST CRACK STARTED APPROXIMATELY IN NOV 2011 AND NOW HAS GOTTEN WORSE OVER TIME.

DASH IS CRACKING IN MULTIPLE PLACES. THIS WOULD BE A HAZARD IF A ACCIDENT WAS TO HAPPEN AND THE AIR BAGS DEPLOY PLASTIC SHARDS WOULD BE SHOT TOWARDS ANY OCCUPANTS IN THE VEHICLE. ALSO DUE TO THE POOR CONSTRUCTION OF THE PRODUCT PIECES OF THE DASH ARE NOT LOCKED INTO PLACE LIKE DESIGNED BECAUSE OF THE DASH CRACKING IN SPOTS THAT ARE DESIGNED FOR TRIM PIECES TO CLIP IN.

I DROVE TO WORK & PARKED MY 2007 AVALANCHE IN MY EMPLOYERS TRUCK GARAGE AS I DO EVERY DAY. I WENT INTO THE OFFICE ATTENDED A JOB BRIEFING & WE PUT ON OUR COVERALLS FOR WORK THEN WE GOT READY TO LEAVE TO GO TO THE 1ST JOBSITE BUT AS SOON AS THE 1ST TWO COWORKERS WALKED OUT OF THE SHOP THEY TURNED AROUND YELLING THAT MY TRUCK WAS ON FIRE. I DIDN'T BELIEVE THEM AT 1ST BECAUSE I HAD JUST PARKED LIKE 15 MINUTES PRIOR. PARKED & NOT RUNNING. WELL I LOOKED AND MY WHOLE ENGINE COMPARTMENT WAS FULL OF FLAMES. WE USED 4 FIRE EXTINGUISHERS TO PUT THE FIRE OUT & THE FIRE DEPARTMENT ARRIVED TO FINISH. MY VEHICLE WAS TOTALLED & I ONLY HAD LIABILITY INSURANCE.

IS THIS A DEFECT THAT CAN BE FIXED THROUGH A RECALL OF SOME SORT... EVERY TIME I GO OVER A BUMP OR ANY SLIGHT BUMP IN THE TRUCK YOU CAN HEAR THE PLASTIC CRACK EACH TIME

TAKATA RECALL I HAVE BEEN PATIENCE WAITING TO HAVE MY AIRBAGS RECALLED. EVERY TIME I CONTACT THE CAR DEALERSHIP THAT I PURCHASED MY TRUCK, THEY KEEP TELLING ME THAT MY TRUCK CAN'T BE SERVICED TO REPLACE MY DEFECTED TAKATA AIR BAGS. I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT IN FEB 6TH 2017. IT WASN'T MY FAULT AND THE AIR BAGS DIDN'T EXPLODE.

THERE ARE SEVERAL LARGE CRACKS IN MY DASHBOARD WITH SHARP SHARDS OF PLASTIC WHICH HAVE ALREADY BROKEN OFF OR ARE HANGING OFF. THESE SHARDS AND SHARP EDGES PRESENT A SIGNIFICANT HAZARD TO VEHICLE OCCUPANTS IF THE VEHICLE WERE TO BE INVOLVED IN A ACCIDENT. THESE CRACKS SEEM TO BE RELATED TO SHODDY CRAFTSMANSHIP/MATERIALS USED BY CHEVROLET AND HAVE GOTTEN WORSE OVER THE YEARS.

Mileage: 40,000

THE DASHBOARD IS SEVERELY CRACKED ABOVE THE STEERING COLUMN AND PASSENGER AIRBAG PANEL. I AM CONCERNED FOR SAFETY AND SEE IN ONLINE FORUMS THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM

Mileage: 60,000

DASH HAS CRACKED AND BROKEN AT LEFT TOP CORNER OF PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG AND OVER INSTRUMENT PANEL ON DRIVERS SIDE. ENTIRE DASH IS VERY BRITTLE. THIS COULD LEAD TO SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH IN THE EVENT OF AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. I HAVE SEEN HUNDREDS IF NOT THOUSANDS OF THESE COMPLAINTS FOR ALL CHEVY AND GM TRUCKS AND SUV'S IN THIS YEAR VEHICLE AND THE YEARS FOLLOWING IT. WILL IT TAKE A PIECE OF DASH FLYING THROUGH SOMEONE'S JUGULAR VEIN TO GET GM TO FINALLY CARE ABOUT CUSTOMER SAFETY?

THE DASH IS CRACKED IN TWO PLACES, ONE IS RIGHT AT THE CORNER OF THE PASSENGER AIR BAG, THE SECOND IS ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. I WAS TOLD THIS IS HAPPENING IN ALL GM TRUCKS 2007-2013. GM AND THE DEALER WILL NOT FIX. I AM AFRAID THAT IF THE AIR BAGS DEPLOY THE DASH WILL BE SHRAPNEL. AND COSMETICALLY IT LOOKS HORRIBLE AND RATTLES. GM NEEDS TO RECALL.

THE DASHBOARD ON MY CHEVROLET AVALANCHE STARTED CRACKING ABOUT 12 MONTHS AGO. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH ONLINE I HAVE DISCOVERED THIS HAS BECOME A COMMON ISSUE WITH MANY CHEVROLET AVALANCHE, TAHOE, AND SUBURBAN IN THE 2007-2011 TIME FRAMES. I AM FOLLOWING WHAT OTHERS ARE DOING BY FILING COMPLAINTS WITH NHTSA AS I WOULD LIKE THIS ADDRESSED AS THE CRACK IS IN THE CORNER OF THE AIR BAG WHICH HAS BEEN RECALLED VIA THE TAKATA RECALL.

2007 CHEVY AVALANCHE LTZ STARTED CRACKING LESS THAN TWO YEARS AFTER I BOUGHT IT NEW. IT NOW HAS 55,000 MILES ON IT AND I HAVE TAKEN VERY GOOD CARE OF IT. THE CRACK AND HOLE NEXT TO THE PASSENGER AIRBAG LOOKS LIKE IT COULD PROJECT SHARP PLASTIC PARTS IF AIRBAG IS DEPLOYED, CAUSING INJURY OR PUNCTURING THE AIRBAG RENDERING IT USELESS. 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. THE RATTLE IS TERRIBLY ANNOYING. I LIVE IN A SUBURB WITH GOOD ROADS AND ONLY TRAVEL DAILY ABOUT 5 MILES BUT TAKE LONG TRIPS ON FREEWAYS ONCE A YEAR. I'VE NEVER DRIVEN IT ON UNIMPROVED OR DIRT ROADS. *TR

DASH CRACKED IN APPROXIMATELY 2010. DEALERSHIP OFFERED TO REPAIR IT FOR $350. I DID NOT HAVE IT REPAIRED. NOW IT IS CRACKED EXTENSIVELY LIKE THOUSANDS OF OTHERS OWNER'S VEHICLES. IF THE AIRBAG INFLATES, OR AN ACCIDENT WE'RE TO OCCUR, SMALL PIECES OF THE DASH ARE LIKELY TO BECOME PROJECTILES.

THE DASHBOARD HAS CRACKED AROUND THE PASSANGER SIDE AIRBAG. I WORRY THAT, IF NEEDED, THE AIRBAG WILL NOT DEPLOY PROPERLY OR THE DASH PEICES WI'LL BE PROPELLED AT THE PASSANGER CAUSING THEM ADDITIONAL INJURY. THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS MAKE/MODEL. HERE IS A LINK TO A FACEBOOK GROUP WITH THOUSANDS OF MEMBERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. HTTPS://M.FACEBOOK.COM/GROUPS/251892298253/

THE DASH BOARD ON MY 2007 AVALANCHE HAS SEVERAL CRACKS AND THERE ARE MORE APPEARING ALL THE TIME. THIS HAS TO BE SOMETHING THE MANUFACTURE SHOULD FIX FOR CUSTOMERS. I HAVE NEVER USED ANY CLEANING PRODUCTS OTHER THAN A WET TOWEL TO CLEAN MY DASH. I'M AFRAID THIS COULD AFFECT MY AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT AND CAUSE INJURY.

Mileage: 160,000

WITH NORMAL OR LIMITED USE OF VEHICLE, TOP DASHBOARD CRACKED IN LARGE AND SIGNIFICANT AREAS, STARTING OVER THE DRIVER'S WHEEL WITHIN 9 MONTHS OF BRAND NEW, AND THEN CRACKING AT SIDES OF TOP DASH OVER AND APPURTENANT TO PASSENGER AIR BAG COMPARTMENT, CAUSING EXTREMELY LOUD AND DISTRACTING RATTLING, BANGING AND CRACKING SOUNDS WHILE DRIVING. FULL DASH NEEDS REPLACEMENT OR PARTS MAY FALL INTO ENGINE OR INTO VEHICLE INTERIOR AND CONCERN THAT PASSENGER AIR BAG COMPARTMENT MAY BE AFFECTED BECAUSE OF CRACK NEXT TO THAT.

THE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES KEEP CUTTING PEOPLE BECAUSE THE CHROME COVERING IS PEELING UP AND THE EDGES OF IT ARE VERY SHARP. THIS HAPPENS WHEN PEOPLE ARE GETTING INTO OR OUT OF THE CAR. I BELIEVE THIS IS ALSO A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE VEHICLES. THIS VEHICLE ONLY HAS ABOUT 60K MILES ON IT. DATE BELOW IS APPROXIMATE.

DASHBOARD IS CRACKED AT THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG AND ON TOP OF THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER ON DRIVER SIDE. I AM CONCERNED FOR MY FAMILY'S SAFETY IF WE'RE IN AN ACCIDENT.

Mileage: 102,000

DASH CRACKED WITH 3 LARGE CRACKS AT 30,000 MILES AND CHROME TRIM ON DOOR HANDLES ALSO PEELED WITH SHARP EDGES. BOTH WERE REPLACED BY DEALER AND CRACKED AGAIN WITH < 10,000 ADDITIONAL MILES GM REFUSED TO REPLACE UNLESS I PAID 1/2 THE COST OF $1200 SO NEVER GOT FIXED. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO THOUSANDS OF OTHERS AND GM SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR DEFECTS. I WORKED FOR GM AND SOMEONE TOLD ME THEY WERE USING TOO MUCH TORQUE WHEN THE DASHES WERE INSTALLED BUT GM WILL NOT ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY. I FEEL IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS FAR AS THE AIRBAGS MIGHT GO OFF ACCIDENTALLY WHILE DRIVING OR NOT IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT!

Mileage: 30,000

DASH BOARD AROUND THE INSTRUMENT PANEL TO THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG IS CRACKED. I DON'T KNOW WHAT CAUSED IT TO START BUT IT STARTED AS A SMALL CRACK THEN IT BEGAN TO SPREAD ACROSS THE DASH.

Mileage: 70,000

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.

DASHBOARD CRACKED. COULD INTERFERE WITH AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT.

THE DASH HAS CRACKED IN MULTIPLE PLACES INCLUDING AT THE AIRBAG. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM BY GM AND ALL TAHOES, AVALANCHES, SUBURBANS, AND SIERRA PICK UP TRUCKS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. THE SERVICE MANAGER AT MY DEALERSHIP ADMITTED GM HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE VENDOR SUPPLYING THIS DASH. I CONSIDER IT A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE IT IS AT THE AIR BAG, AND ALSO OVER THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND ELECTRONICS.

Mileage: 65,000

THERE HAVE BEEN CONTINUAL PROBLEMS WITH THE ENGINE OF MY TRUCK AND I HAVE FOUND OUT SINCE BUYING IT THERE ARE SEVERE PROBLEMS WITH A LOT OF THE ENGINES OF THE 2007 AVALANCHE. THE MECHANIC TOLD ME WHEN WE BROUGHT THE TRUCK IN TO FIND OUT WHY THE ENGINE HAD A HESITATION IN IT, THAT WE SHOULD HOPE IT WAS THE EXHAUST SYSTEM SEALS NEEDING TO BE REPLACED THAT CAUSED THE HESITATION BECAUSE THE ONLY OTHER TIMES HE HAD SEEN THIS PROBLEM IT WAS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT IN THE 2007 GMC ENGINES THAT HE HAD SEEN THESE PROBLEMS WITH ALOT OF THE 2007 CHEVY AND GMC TRUCKS INCLUDING HIS OWN. WE ALSO ABOUT 2 MONTHS AFTER BUYING THE TRUCK NOTICED THAT THE TRUCK WAS GOING THROUGH OIL VERY QUICKLY BUT THE MECHANIC SAID THAT THE SEALS WEREN'T LEAKING SO DIDN'T KNOW WHY WE WERE BURNING OIL SO FAST. THE DASH HAS CRACKED AT THE CORNER OF THE AIR BAG AND IF THERE IS AN ACCIDENT IT COULD SEND SHARDS FLYING. THE DRIVERS DOOR STICKS AND THE STABILITY CONTROL GO'S IN AND OUT OF WORKING ORDER. THE ELECTRIC MIRRORS STOPPED FOLDING IN AND TILTING DOWN AND TRIED TO HAVE IT FIXED BUT CHEVROLET SAID THEY WOULDN'T GIVE THE MECHANIC THE CODE TO GET INTO THE COMPUTER SYSTEM TO FIX IT AND THE BACK UP SENSOR THAT HAD STOPPED WORKING ALSO. WE NOW HAVE TO GO TO A CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT FIXED. THERE HAVE BEEN SO MANY PROBLEMS WITH THESE TRUCKS THAT CHEVROLET HASN'T FIXED THESE TRUCKS EVEN USED USUALLY COST AT LEAST $15000 BRAND NEW YOU COULD DOUBLE OR TRIPLE THAT PRICE I DON'T THINK IT'S A LOT TO ASK TO HAVE A DECENT ENGINE THE OTHER PROBLEMS I COULD DEAL WITH BUT THE ENGINE PROBLEM THEY SHOULD FIX

EARLY IN SEPTEMBER 2012, I NOTICED A SMALL 1 INCH CRACK IN THE DASHBOARD OF MY TRUCK, A 2007 CHEVROLET AVALANCHE LTZ. THIS CRACK WAS LOCATED ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE OF THE DASHBOARD, TO THE LEFT OF THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AND NEAR THE WINDSHIELD. OVER THE NEXT FEW WEEKS THE CRACK GOT LARGER, ABOUT 4 INCHES LONG APPROXIMATELY. I CALLED A GM SERVICE LINE AND THE FIRST DEALER THEY CONNECTED ME WITH SAID SINCE I WASN'T THE ORIGINAL OWNER AND THE TRUCK WAS OUT OF WARRANTY, THEY COULD NOT REPLACE IT UNLESS I PAID THE FULL COST, WHICH AT THE TIME WAS ABOUT $1800. I CALLED GM AGAIN AND THE NEXT DEALER TOLD ME THAT THEY WOULD REPLACE IT BUT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY $350. SO ON OCTOBER 5, 2012, I BROUGHT MY TRUCK IN TO ALL STAR CHEVROLET IN BATON ROUGE, LA. THEY REPLACED MY DASH AND SENT ME ON MY WAY. I WAS A SATISFIED CUSTOMER UNTIL OCTOBER 31, 2014. I NOTICED THAT MY DASHBOARD WAS CRACKED AGAIN IN THE EXACT SAME PLACE. WHEN I CALLED GM AGAIN TO TELL THEM WHAT HAPPENED, I WAS TOLD THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY $350 AGAIN IN ORDER TO GET A NEW DASH. I HAVE YET TO GET IT FIXED AGAIN BECAUSE I REFUSE TO PAY FOR A REPEATING ISSUE THAT SHOULDN'T HAVE HAPPENED IN THE FIRST PLACE.

Mileage: 68,775

WHILE CLEANING THE WINDSHIELD I NOTICED WHAT APPEARED TO BE A CRACK OVER THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. I OPENED THE DOOR AND LOOKED AT THE DASH CLOSER AND CONFIRMED IT WAS CRACKED. LATER THAT WEEK I NOTICED THE DASH HAD CRACKED AT THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. THE CRACK OVER THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER STARTS AT THE FRONT EDGE OF THE DASH AND RUNS ABOUT HALF WAY BACK. THE CRACK AT THE PASSENGER AIRBAG STARTS AT THE FRONT SEAM AND RUNS INTO THE AIRBAG OPENING. I STARTED RESEARCH TO SEE IF THERE WAS A RECALL AND FOUND NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. I ALSO FOUND THAT AT THIS TIME GM REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. WITH THE AMOUNT OF COMPLAINTS IN VARIOUS AREAS AROUND THE U.S. IT DOESN'T APPEAR TO BE WEATHER RELATED. THERE IS EVEN A FACEBOOK PAGE DEDICATED TO THIS ISSUE. HTTPS://WWW.FACEBOOK.COM/GROUPS/GMDASHCRACK/

MY CHEVY AVALANCHE HAS A KNOWN ISSUE OF THE DASH CRACKING WHICH GM DENIES. LIKE MANY OTHER TAHOE,SILVERADO,AND AVALANCHE OWNERS I HAVE A CRACKED DASH RIGHT IN THE CORNER OF THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG AND ANOTHER OVER THE DRIVERS STEERING COLUMN. THE DASH FLAPS FREELY AND I'M WORRIED IF THE AIR BAG GOES OFF THAT SHARP SHRAPNEL WILL FLY IN THE FACE OF THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER. THERE ARE TONS OF OWNERS ALL OVER WITH IDENTICAL ISSUES.
