GM HAS A SAFETY ISSUE WITH DASHBOARDS CRACKING NEAR WHERE THE AIRBAG DEPLOYS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLES. THERE IS ALSO CRACKING ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE INSTRUMENT POD. ALL CRACKS ARE IN IDENTICAL AREAS OF THESE SAME MODEL YEARS AND NEWER. THIS IS MY SECOND DASH BOARD THAT HAS TO BE REPLACED. *TR

INSIDE DOER HANDLE CHROME IS PEELING OFF LEAVING A VERY SHARP EDGE. GM RECALLED THIS ITEM BUT WILL NOT FIX MINE BECAUSE OF THE MILEAGE ON MY VEHICLE. THERE HAVE BEEN 2 INJURIES RELATED TO THIS PROBLEM

DASH CRACKED AROUND PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. IF AIRBAG IS DEPLOYED IT CAN POSSIBLY SNAG ON THE SHARP EDGE AND PUNCTURE THE AIRBAG.

I HEARD THAT CHEVROLET IS RECALLING CERTAIN PICKUPS BECAUSE OF AN AIR BAG ISSUE. MY AIR BAG INDICATOR LIGHT COMES ON OCCASIONALLY. IS THIS A CONCERN? IS MY 2007 CHEVROLET AVALANCHE GOING TO BE RECALLED FOR THE DEFECT. THANK YOU! *TR

INTERIOR DOOR HANDLE CHROME IS PEELING OFF. SEEMS TO BE MADE VERY "CHEAP". CUT MY HAND WHILE OPENING THE DOOR. CALLED GM CUSTOMER CARE, REP TOLD ME BECAUSE I PURCHASED IT USED THAT MY VEHICLE DOES NOT QUALIFY TO BE REPAIRED. *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

SO I WAS SITTING AT A RED LIGHT, EVERYTHING WAS COOL.. AND WHEN I STARTED TO ACCELERATE THE TRUCK ALMOST FELT LIKE WE GOT REAR-ENDED. THEN WHEN I TRIED TO ACCELERATE IT FELT LIKE IT HAD SLIPPED INTO NEUTRAL. DRIVE IS COMPLETELY DEAD, WHEN I PUT ITINTO DRIVE, I GET NOTHING. SO I PUT IT IN 1ST, AND IT WORKED, IT WENT INTO GEAR. THEN WHEN I STARTED TO ACCELERATE IT MADE THIS HORRIBLE SCRATCHING/GRINDING/WHINING SOUND. SO I CAN ACCELERATE SLOWLY AND SWITCH TO 2ND, SLOWLY, AND ACCELERATE SLOWLY AND SWITCH TO 3RD. 3RD FEELS GOOD WHEN I ACCELERATE BUT THEN IF I STEP ON IT, IT SLIPS OUT OF 3RD BACK TO THAT NEUTRAL FEELING. IF I TRY TO ACCELERATE QUICKLY IN 1ST AND 2ND I GET THAT HORRIBLE SOUND AND GRINDING FEEL.IT IS SO MANY PEOPLE HAVING THIS SAME PROBLEM OVER AND OVER. SOME SAY THE DEALER CHARGE THEM OVER $2800 PLUS TO REPAIR OTHERS SAY SOME DEALERS FIXED THE PART IN THE TRANS CALLED THE FORWARD SPRAG GEAR AND EVERYTHING WAS OK. ITS CRAZY THAT SO MANY PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. 95 PERCENT OF THE TRUCKS DESPITE THE MILEAGE ( 30, 000 TO 93, 000) ON HER TRUCK DID THIS RIGHT AFTER THE WARRANTY WAS UP. MY TRUCK 07 WITH ONLY 62, XXX ON IT TRANS HAS NOW DONE THE SAME THING AS EVERYONE ELSE TRUCK. SOMEONE SHOULD FORCE GM TO RECALL THESE TRANSMISSION AND FIX THEM. WORD IS THEY USED THE SAME TRANSMISSION THAT'S IN MID SIZE CARS AND LIGHT DUTY TRUCKS AND IF SO EVERYBODY WILL HAVE ISSUES WITH A FULL SIZE TRUCK AND A LIGHT DUTY TRANSMISSION! *TR
