2007 CHEVROLET AVALANCHE Complaints

THE GM WEBSITE HAS SHOWN A "REMEDY NOT YET AVAILABLE" ON AN ISSUE THAT'S EXISTED FOR NEARLY 5 YEARS. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. EVEN THEIR OWN WEBSITE STATES THAT THEY'RE "WORKING QUICKLY" TO FINALIZE THE REPAIR OPTIONS. THE AIRBAGS ARE DANGEROUS AND MUST BE REPLACED, AS OTHER MAJOR MANUFACTURERS (LIKE FORD) ARE DOING.

DASHBOARD CRACKED IN MULTIPLE LOCATIONS, WITHOUT ANY MAJOR ACCIDENT/NO AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. CURRENTLY, CRACKS HAVE BEEN REGLUED/EPOXIED. 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.

THERES AN OPEN RECALL ON MY TRUCK I JUST PAID 11000 DOLLARS FOR. FROM 2016 AND NO REMEDY AS OF 10/30/2020. THATS 4 YEARS THEYVE HAD. I WANT ANSWERS AS WELL AS A SAFE CAR TO DRIVE.

IN MAY 2016, NHTSA RECALL#16V383, MFG RECALL#2049152 WAS ISSUED FOR TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL/REPLACEMENT AND NOTHING FROM GM HAS HAPPENED. I'VE MADE SEVERAL CALLS TO GM 800 SUPPORT AND CONTINUE TO GET RUN AROUND- THEY ARE DODGING REPLACING THIS PART ON MY CHEVY AVALANCHE. I'VE RECORDED IN MY RECORDS AND NOTED WHO/WHEN I'VE SPOKEN TO THERE, INFORMIMG THEM THAT I WILL HOLD GM LIABLE FOR ANY/ALL DAMAGES CIVIL AND CRIMINAL SHOIULD ANYACCIDENT OCCUR THAT TRIGGERS MALFUNCTION OF THIS DEVICE AND ANY RESULTING INJURIES TO VEHICLE PASSENGERS.

DASHBOARD CRACKED BADLY. THIS IS A KNOWN DEFECT ISSUE FOR 2007-2014 CHEVY TRUCKS AND SUVS. THE DASH DEVELOPED A CRACK ON IT'S OWN AND THE CRACK SPREAD ALONG THE ENTIRE DASH. SO MUCH THAT THE DASH IS SPLIT AND RATTLES.

SERVICE AIR BAG SHOWED UP ON MY INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. THE CODE READER SHOWS CODE B0020-0D, PASSENGER INSTRUMENT PANEL AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT LOOP STAGE 2 SHORT TO BATTERY. THE WARNING HAS BEEN INTERMITTENT FOR YEARS AND THEN HERE RECENTLY THE WARNING BECAME A STEADY ILLUMINATION. WHEN THIS ISSUE FIRST STARTED IT DIDN'T MATTER IF I WAS MOVING OR OR STATIONARY. NOW THE WARNING DOES NOT GO OFF. I AM NOT 100% POSITIVE IF THE TAKATA RECALL IS WHAT IS AFFECTING MY AIR BAG BUT ACCORDING TO THE RECALL IT IS THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT AIR BAG. CURRENTLY MY VEHICLE FALLS UNDER MANUFACTURER RECALL NUMBER 2049151 AND NHTSA RECALL NUMBER 16V381. THE RECALL IS CURRENTLY INCOMPLETE, AND A REMEDY IS NOT YET AVAILABLE. I LIVE IN TEXAS SO AS THE THE AMBIENT TEMPERATURE INCREASED THE AIR BAG ISSUE BECAME WORSE.

CRACKED DASH. IT HAS BEEN REPLACED ONCE BY THE DEALER AND FAILED AFTER 3 YEARS. NOW IT CONTINUES TO CRACK AT DIFFERENT LOCATIONS. DEALER SAID 1 YEAR WARRANTY AND $1200 TO REPLACE, AGAIN.
