Takata recall it has been more than 2 yrs since I was notified of the airbag recall. My avalanche sensors are stating the airbag system has failed. I have been to the internet web sites and the dealership dozens of times only to get the same feedback...no solution has been determined, nothing they can do. It is pretty clear to me that they know how to fix the issue, but they are using stall tactics to avoid incuring the cost they are legally bound to spend. My particular make/model/year was supposed to prioritized and completed by march 2018. Since it is clear to me the stall tactics have been working with no accountability, I thought maybe I would trade the car in for a safer one without air bag problems....no dealer will take the car in on trade because of the air bag problem. So I am stuck driving an known-unsafe-vehicle and putting my family at risk the airbag system won't arm, it's a known recall issue, and I cannot get it fixed makes no sense and is completely unacceptable

My vehicle speed appears to be fluctuating, engine braking also occurs when the service stabilitrak lights come one. I was driving and it felt like it stalled or the clutch kicked in then reengaged. Online forums depict hundreds of owners with the same incidents. The issue affects many components of the vehicle. Some believe that the onstar system or the ABS module is defective. This is a serious problem that must be investigated. When I took it in last time, the dealer claimed it was a faulty ABS sensor. This did not solve the issue as this continues to happen off and on and I fell this puts us at risk. These issues happen while parked, driving, and turning, be it roadways, driveways, parking lots, etc.

Crankshaft sensor failure. Had car towed to dealer who infomed me that there was no recall on the crankshaft sensor of the chevrolete avalanche paid dealer $540. For cransshaft sensor replacement. Have not had a stalling problem sence replacing the cranshaft sensor. This is a very dangerous situation and can cause severe accidents as the loss of steering and brakes is critical.

While driving at 65 on the freeway truck began to lose power and when I stepped on gas it didn't respond. Had to keep letting foot off and back on to get it to go. Pulled over to the shoulder turned truck off and it ran good for about 3 minutes and it repeated itself. When engine gets hot the truck loses power and you have to shut it off and repeat this step until you get to where you gotta go. No codes, no warning no nothing. Truck also shuts off while driving. Replaced fuel pump, filter, cleaned maf and throttle body replaced crank shaft sensor and it still does this.

My avalanche has developed a rough idle at times ever since new. Sometimes it is rougher than other times and is not constant. I had it to the dealer two times and contacted chevrolet support. Dealer claims there is no problem and since there are no tsb's there is nothing they can do to correct. One dealer said the fuel trim levels are very lean which causes the rough idle. I never had a vehicle with an idle like this and believe the fuel trim levels could be adjusted in the computer to smooth out the idle. Chevrolet support just directs me back to the dealer in a circle. The vehicle has not stalled out yet but I do not want that to happen which could cause a safety issue while stopped at an intersection or making a turn. The idle for a computer controlled engine in a vehicle this expensive should idle rock solid, thanks for looking into this for me.

Car stalled unexpectedly on freeway exit for no apparent reason with loss of power steering and all functions. Had to coast to a stop and luckily no other cars were behind us. *tr additionally, car fuel tank valve does not stop gas when fueling and causes gas to surge out of tank when fueled and onto vehicle. Reported this problem to dodge and they said this VIN no. Wasn't covered by recall.
