2008 CHEVROLET AVALANCHE Air Bags Problems

The contact owns a 2008 Chevrolet Avalanche. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 21V050000 (Air Bags); however, the part to do the recall repair was unavailable. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure. Parts distribution disconnect.

Both air bags deployed for no reason driver and passenger

The contact owns a 2008 Chevrolet Avalanche. The contact stated while driving 60 MPH, the driver’s side air bag deployed inadvertently without the vehicle being involved in a crash. The passenger’s side air bag also deployed and shattered the passenger’s side windshield. The contact pulled over safely and then the side curtain air bag on the driver's side deployed. The contact was aware that the "Service Air Bags" light would intermittently flash on and off; however, the warning light was not illuminated at time of the air bag deployments. Additionally, the passenger’s side curtain air bag had also deployed. The contact had not taken the vehicle to the local dealer. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 190,000.

2008 CHEVROLET AVALANCHE. CONSUMER STATED THAT THE AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY DURING AUTO ACCIDENT.

AFTER A COUPLE OF YEARS MY VEHICLE DEVELOPED SEVERAL CRACKS IN THE DASH, ESPECIALLY AROUND THE AIRBAG. YESTERDAY I HAD THE AIRBAG RECALL PERFORMED. AS A RESULT OF THE REPAIR, THE CRACKS ARE NOW BROKEN PIECES. I NOW FEAR THAT IN THE EVENT OF AN AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT, SHARDS OF SHARP PLASTIC WILL BE THROWN INTO THE AIR AND COULD POTENTIALLY RESULT IN SEVERE INJURY.

CRACKED DASHBOARD DEFECT. I ASKED THE MANUFACTURER (GM) WHAT HAPPENS TO A CRACKED DASHBOARD DURING A COLLISION? THEIR RESPONSE WAS BASICALLY NHTSA DECIDES WHAT A SAFETY CONCERN IS. WELL, I RECENTLY CHATTED WITH NTHSA ONLINE AND ASKED THE QUESTION, WHAT HAPPENS TO A CRACKED DASHBOARD DURING A COLLISION? NTHSA RESPONSE TO ME WAS, THAT WOULD BE A QUESTION FOR THE MANUFACTURER SINCE THEY ARE THE ONES WHO CONDUCT THE CRASH TESTS. APPARENTLY NO ONE KNOWS WHAT HAPPENS TO A DEFECTIVE DASHBOARD DURING A COLLISION, I IMAGINE SHRAPNEL IMPALING INTO MY FACE OR MY CHILDREN'S FACE. WE ALL KNOW GM WOULD RATHER PAY FAMILIES FOR THE BURNING DEATHS OF THEIR LOVED ONES RATHER THAN ISSUE A RECALL FOR THEIR DEFECTIVE PRODUCT BECAUSE IT'S CHEAPER..... I SUGGEST THE AUTHORITY "NTHSA" HOLD THE MANUFACTURER ACCOUNTABLE FOR DEFECTS REGARDLESS OF PRESSURE FROM WASHINGTON REPRESENTATIVES THAT MAY PUT PRESSURE ON NTHSA TO HAVE LESS STRINGENT STANDARDS JUSR SO A COMPANY CAN MAKE MORE PROFITS AND THROW MORE MONEY INTO SOME ASSHATS COFFER. THAT'S THE ONLY LOGICAL EXPLANATION AS TO WHY DEFECTS ARE NOT REMEDIED. I ASKED AGAIN, WHAT HAPPENS TO A CRACKED DASHBOARD DURING A COLLISION? WHO IS GOING TO ANSWER THAT QUESTION? WHO IS GOING TO DECIDE IF THAT'S A SAFETY CONCERN? WHO SETS THE STANDARD FOR SAFETY? WHAT'S THE MINIMAL ACCEPTABLE DEATH RATE DUE TO VEHICLE DEFECTS? WHAT'S THE MINIMAL ACCEPTABLE HUMAN DEFORMATION, HANDICAPPED RATE DUE TO VEHICLE DEFECTS? I LOOK FORWARD TO HAVING THOSE QUESTIONS ANSWERED AND NOT JUST REFERRED TO AN ONLINE RESOURCE THAT DOESN'T ANSWER THESE QUESTIONS SPECIFICALLY.

THE DASHBOARD HAS CRACKED AROUND THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AND THE AIR BAG. CAUSING SAFETY HAZARDS. IT IS OBVIOUSLY A FLAWED DESIGN GM REFUSES TO OWN UP TO. THE VEHICLE ALSO HAS SOME ELECTRICAL ISSUE THAT CAUSES THE TRUCKS TO COME TO A STOP ON THE INTERSTATE.

Mileage: 125,000

RECEIVED NOTICE OF RECALL MANY YEARS AGO. REMEDY HAS NEVER BEEN COMPLETED AFTER MANY CALLS TO MANUFACTURER, DEALER AND NHTSA OVER MANY YEARS. THE EXCUSE IS ALWAYS THAT THE REPLACEMENT PART IS NOT AVAILABLE. THIS IS DISGRACEFUL SINCE WE ARE AT RISK FOR SEVERE INJURY OR EVEN DEATH.

TAKATA RECALL I HAVE A 2008 CHEV AVALANCHE WHICH HAS A AIR BAG INFLATOR RECALL ISSUED OVER 3 YEARS AGO. IMPORTANCE OF REPAIRS WERE STATED AS AGE OF VEHICLE AND REGION WHERE IT RESIDES. I BOUGHT MY AVALANCHE NEW, 11 YEARS AGO, AND HAVE ALWAYS LIVED IN FLORIDA. I RECENTLY HAD MY DASHBOARD REPLACED DUE TO CRACKING AS A RESULT OF, ACCORDING TO GM, 'HEAT AND HUMIDITY' IN FLORIDA. HOWEVER WHAT SEEMS TO BE A VERY IMPORTANT SAFETY ISSUE FOR PASSENGERS (WIFE AND GRANDKIDS) DOESN'T SEEM TO GET PRIORITY ATTENTION. IF IN FACT TAKATA AND GM BELIEVE THAT AGE AND HUMID REGIONS ARE PRIMARY FACTORS WHICH DETERMINE THE DEGRADATION TIME OF AIR BAG INFLATORS AND INCREASE THE POSSIBILITY OF INJURY OR DEATH THEN MY VEHICLE SHOULD BE HIGH ON THE RECALL LIST. MAY 27, 2016 RECALL ISSUED AND STILL NO ACTION.

LAST WEEK SEVERAL CRACKS APPEARED IN THE DASH AROUND THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG IN MY LOW MILEAGE, GARAGED 2008 AVALANCHE. UPON RESEARCHING THE ISSUE I FOUND THAT IT IS A WELL KNOW DEFECT WITH DASHES IN 2007 TO 2013 CHEVY TRUCKS AND THAT GM REFUSES TO HELP THOSE WHO EXPERIENCE THE CRACKING. I AM VERY FEARFUL OF THE INJURIES THAT THE SHATTERED PLASTIC WOULD CAUSE TO THE FRONT SEAT PASSENGERS SHOULD THE AIRBAG DEPLOY, SO I HAVE NO OTHER CHOICE BUT TO PAY UP TO FIX THE GM ISSUE. GM, IF NOT WILLING TO DEFRAY THE ENTIRE COST, SHOULD OFFER A SUBSTANTIAL REBATE FOR THE REPAIR.

Mileage: 60,804

THE DASHBOARD HAS SEVERAL CRACKS AND JUST RECENTLY, A CHUNK FELL INTO THE DASHBOARD. IF THE AIRBAG DEPLOYS, THERE ARE PROBABLY PARTS AROUND IT THAT WILL DEPLOY INTO THE PASSENGER AS WELL AS THE DRIVER'S FACE. CONSIDERING HOW BRITTLE IT IS, IT WILL PROBABLY SHATTER IN THE EVEN OF AN ACCIDENT, SENDING SHARDS OF PLASTIC SCATTERING THROUGHOUT THE INTERIOR AS WELL.
