I NOTICED THAT MY DASH HAD 2 CRACKS, ONE ON THE DRIVER SIDE AND ONE AROUND THE AIRBAG ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. I BELIEVE THE ONE AROUND THE AIR BAG TO BE A SAFETY CONCERN, EITHER THE FUNCTIONALITY OF THE AIRBAG OR THE BROKEN PIECES OF PLASTIC IF THE AIRBAG IS DEPLOYED. *TR
THE DASH BOARD IN 2007 AVALANCHE VEHICLES IS PRONE TO CRACKING. IN FACT GM HAS KNOWN ABOUT THIS DEFECT IN THE MATERIALS THAT WERE USED TO MOLD THE DASH BOARD AND HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL. REPLACEMENT IS LEFT UP TO THE VEHICLE OWNER AND COSTS IN EXCESS OF $500 TO REPAIR. UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES GM SHOULD HAVE ISSUED A RECALL AND REPLACED THE DASH BOARD AT NO ADDITIONAL CHARGE TO THE CUSTOMER. *TR
CRACKED DASHBOARD ON PASSENGER SIDE WHERE AIRBAG IS FITTED. UPPER LEFTHAND SIDE OF AIRBAG. TRACTION CONTROL/STABILITRAC SYSTEM: SERVICE INDICATOR WARNINGS ACTIVATE, SWITCHES FROM 2 WHEEL DRIVE TO 4 WHEEL DRIVE HIGH EVEN THOUGH SELECTOR IS IN 2WD MODE. THE FIRST OCCURRENCE OF THIS WAS AT 70K MILES, THEN AGAIN AT 90K. THEN AGAIN AT 97K THE TRANSMISSION WAS DAMAGED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. AGAIN AT 101K MILES THE RINGGEAR IN THE REAR AXEL WAS DESTROYED. REAR AXEL WAS REPLACED. FIFTH TIME FOR THOSE COUNTING, 116K MILES SERVICE STABILITRAC AND SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL WARNINGS, SWITCHING FROM 2WD TO 4WD HIGH WHILE MOVING, WHILE PARKED, SELECTOR IN 2WD POSITION WITH SOMEONE AT THE WHEEL OR CAB EMPTY. EVAPORATIVE EMISSION CONTROL WARNING. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON, CODE COMES BACK TO EEC. INDICATING A LEAK IN THE RETURN LINE. THE FIRST TIME THIS WAS REPLACED AT 70K MILES, THIS IS THE SECOND TIME....
DASH PANEL IS CRACKING IN NUMEROUS AREAS. *TR
2007 CHEVY AVALANCHE - THE PEELING METALLIC COATING ON DOOR HANDLE SLICED MY FINGER; NO SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY INVOLVED (GLORIFIED PAPER CUT THIS TIME) BUT THIS CONDITION CANNOT CONTINUE. *TR
THE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES ON MY 2007 CHEVY AVALANCHE LTZ HAVE PEELED AND BECOME RAZOR SHARP. OPENING THE DOOR UNDER NORMAL CHARACTERISTICS HAS CAUSED A SLICE, OR PAPER CUT TYPE OF WOUND TO MY HAND. *TR
