2007 Chevrolet Avalanche airbags complaints
Page 7 of 9: complaints 161 to 190 of 225, newest first, as owners wrote them.
My dash cracked and continues to crack around air bags
Dashboard has developed severe cracking on driver and passenger sides especially around the airbag area. This is the second dashboard in this vehicle. My concern is that the airbag may be punctured or otherwise ineffective upon deployment due to the instability and sharp, broken pieces of plastic dashboard. After having the dashboard replaced previously for these same reasons it has been protected with a dashmat and sunshade. This is certainly a quality issue which gm is aware of.
I own a 2007 chevy avalanche ltz. I had an incident where my seatbelt pretensioners fired for no reason , causing great pressure across my chest. I was stopped at a stoplight . My airbag did not fire , but hazard lights, emergency systems activated. I tried to submit a safety claim through chevy but after 5 weeks they denied my claim . They sent out an investigator who found the sdm module had been corroded due to water damage . After investigating this on the internet I found this same issue to happen to many truck owners. Long story short , do I have any re-course? Do you have annoy previous claims on the sdm module and pretensioners firing out of the blue? Chevy says I have to pay the bill to get it fixed . It was quite the traumatic experience and I thought I had gotten shot due to the pressure and noise . I can't imagine if my daughters were in the car and the damage it could have caused to them . Please let me know if there have been previous cases with sdm or seatbelt pretensioners

The recall was issued may 2016. We received notice july 2016. It is now end of december 2016. Chevrolet states the vehicle is 'safe to operate'. The recall states that it may 'cause serious or fatal injuries' if it deploys. On the face of this, the vehicle may not be safe to operate. When can I expect to have this recall completed?

2007 chevy avalanche ltz started cracking less than two years after I bought it new. It now has 55,000 miles on it and I have taken very good care of it. The crack and hole next to the passenger airbag looks like it could project sharp plastic parts if airbag is deployed, causing injury or puncturing the airbag rendering it useless. Also on the drivers side, the cracks are huge over the instrument cluster and I'm afraid shrapnel could come loose and cause injury, the cracks started when the truck was stationary but gets worse when driving. The rattle is terribly annoying. I live in a suburb with good roads and only travel daily about 5 miles but take long trips on freeways once a year. I've never driven it on unimproved or dirt roads.
Takata recall not gettng fixed
I contacted everett chevrolet in hickory, nc after having just purchased the vehicle used from another dealer. I was provided with recall paperwork. I was referred to a service manager who informed me that they did have replacement parts, but I would have to pay for the repair and hopefully be reimbursed by tekata.
Takata recall - I contacted chevy's hotline today (800‑222‑1020) and they told me that my vehicle is no longer apart of the recall. I'm concerned that they are telling me this to get out of replacing my airbag. I need chevrolet to fulfill their commitment to me as their customer and put my safety and the safety of my family first. Thank you

I have a truck with a air bag recall but, on top of that I have another crack in the same place on the dashboard that was replaced once already while under warranty. I fear air bag will cause dash to come out a strike passenger while riding.
Received a notice on a recall that states that around the end of may 2016 gm began notifying owners that a recall was in place for defective airbag inflators that may degrade over time especially in hot and humid climates. That they pose a rupture risk and from researching on the federal safety agency website if this happens metal particles could injure occupants...but gm states the vehicle is safe? And that parts are not available for repair yet. So my question, it's late august 2016 and I live in dallas, tx with hot humid days for months, what is considered an appropriate time to resolve? And how is this not a concern and considered safe??? My irritation is that if I have a susceptible pipe bomb here, why isn't there an immediate corrective action happening??

Dash is cracked around air bags. Sharp edges very dangerous.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 chevrolet avalanche. While driving various speeds, an abnormal noise was heard near the dashboard. The contact noticed a crack on the dashboard near the passenger side air bag. The contact was concerned that the passenger side air bag could inadvertently deploy. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where the cause of the failure was undetermined. The vehicle was not repaired. The VIN was included in the federal safety agency campaign number: 16v388000 (air bags). The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 100,000.
The dash is slit from the airbag module insert to the front vent which will cause the dash to fracture in the event of airbag deployment resulting in high speed shards being propelled into the cabin.
Dash is cracked with pieces of plastic being loose. Concerned about projectiles and or puncturing airbag if deployed. I believe this to be a common defect in these vehicles. Vehicle only has slightly over 60k miles on it now. Cracked around 45k to 50k miles. Date that I show below is approximate.
Dash board around the instrument panel to the passenger side airbag is cracked. I don't know what caused it to start but it started as a small crack then it began to spread across the dash.
