2007 CHEVROLET AVALANCHE Complaints

THE TOP OF THE DASHBOARD HAD CRACKED ON FOUR DIFFERENT SPOTS ON TOP AND TWO TOWARDS THE BOTTOM. ON OF THE CRACKS HAS GONE DOWN TO THE RADIO MOUNTING BRACKETS BREAKING SOME OFF.

VEHICLE HAS 120,000 MILES ON IT AND HAS A RANDOM MISFIRE, WITH TRACTION CONTROL AND STABILTRACK WARNINGS AND A FLASHING CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. ENGINE HAS EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION AND RUNS ROUGH. INSTALLED NEW PLUGS AND WIRES, NO CHANGE. AFTER READING UP ON THESE ENGINES I FOUND OUT THAT THE AFM / DOD FEATURE IS A COMMON FAILURE FOR THESE ENGINES. GM SHOULD STEP UP AND HELP OWNERS WITH SOME OF THE REPAIR COSTS. THIS IS GOING TO BE EXPENSIVE. *TR
