2007 CHEVROLET AVALANCHE 1500 Complaints

IT STARTED WITH A TICKING NOISE AND WHEN I TOOK IT FOR SERVICE THEY SAID THAT IT WAS MY LIFTERS AND TO REPLACE THEM IT WOULD COST 5-6 THOUSAND, AND THAT I MIGHT AS WELL REPLACE THE ENGINE. I LATER FIND OUT THAT THIS IS COMMON WITH ALL THE 07 BUT THE MANUFACTORY WANT RECALL OR ASSIST WITH REPLACEMENT COST.

THE DASHBOARD OF MY 2007 CHEVY AVALANCHE HAS BEEN CRACKING FOR YEARS, I DID LET MY DEALERSHIP KNOW AND THEY SAID THAT WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY AND THEY DIDN'T OFFER ME A DISCOUNT TO REPAIR IT. MY DASH HAS SEVERAL CRACKS FROM THE DRIVERS SIDE TO THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG, A LARGE HOLE IS DIRECTLY IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DASH WHERE THE PIECES JUST VIBRATED APART EXPOSING THE EQUIPMENT UNDER THE DASH. THE PIECES OF PLASTIC ARE A LITTLE HEAVY AND SHARP I FEEL THE WHOLE DASH COULD BREAK INTO PIECES IF THE AIR BAG IS DEPLOYED. I DO NOT HAVE ANY RECORD OF RECEIVING A QUOTE OR BEING DENIED THE REPAIR, BUT I DON'T THINK THEY WILL DENY THAT THEY'VE BEEN SAYING IT'S NOT COVERED. AND, I'M NOT SURE OF THE EXACT DATE, BUT I THINK IT STARTED TO CRACK IN 2010, NOW IT'S KIND OF A WRECK, I'VE ATTACHED A PICTURE OF THE BIG HOLE!

DASH BOARD IS CRACKED IN THREE PLACES TO INCLUDE AREAS AROUND AIR BAG. APPEARS TO BE COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE VEHICLES AND POSSIBLE SAFETY HAZARD FOR AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT.
