I have had 5 avalanches 3 07s 2 08s all have dash cracking issues the breaking dashes crack cause glare in drivers eyes noises that can take focus off the road every one I've owned it's happened gm used a proprolyene dash that gets brittle when introduced to heat. This is known by gm as a defect but u guys have not enforced them to fix it's a extremely expensive fix labor is high and I'm 5 for 5 on cracking dashes. 3 have cracked so bad that when the sun hit them they throw glare toward my eyes. It needs to be addressed this is crappy. Just like gm and the crappy cadillac srx headlights they know it's a defect then fix it
Takata recall and oil consumption
My dashboard is so badly cracked it has effected the functionality of the air bags. This an expensive repair and happens to majority of these trucks.
Takata inflators. What happened is the federal safety agency gave gm until august of 2017 to provide data supporting gm's claim of inconsequentiality... That the vehicles listed in recall from 2016 are not at risk. Why have we not heard an update in the 19 months since the deadline? Is the air bag safe or not? Please do your job.
Cracked dashboard - 3 major cracks in dash - very lightly used vehicle (73k mi) - dash pieces likely a hazard is case of accident. Dash should not crack under normal use - defective materials/design

Takata recall "16v383" dated may 27, 2016. It has been over two years and gm states "incomplete. Remedy not available". I am very concerned for my saftey and the safety of my family and other passencers! Can you do anything to get this safety issue resolved?

Last week several cracks appeared in the dash around the passenger side airbag in my low mileage, garaged 2008 avalanche. Upon researching the issue I found that it is a well know defect with dashes in 2007 to 2013 chevy trucks and that gm refuses to help those who experience the cracking. I am very fearful of the injuries that the shattered plastic would cause to the front seat passengers should the airbag deploy, so I have no other choice but to pay up to fix the gm issue. Gm, if not willing to defray the entire cost, should offer a substantial rebate for the repair.

The dashboard has several cracks and just recently, a chunk fell into the dashboard. If the airbag deploys, there are probably parts around it that will deploy into the passenger as well as the driver's face. Considering how brittle it is, it will probably shatter in the even of an accident, sending shards of plastic scattering throughout the interior as well.

Takata recall. Gm issued recall notice #2049152 on 05/27/16 and sent a letter to me in july 2016. Docket id the federal safety agency-2016-0124 documents the back and forth between gm and the agency during the past two years. The uncertainty of whether or not my truck may kill me because of an unresolved safety issue is beyond concerning. How much longer do owners of the affected vehicles need to wait before action is taken to protect the driver's life and restore confidence in the safety of these gm vehicles? Gm owner's luck and patience have been tested beyond reasonable measure.
