Heard a Loud Pop Bang noise then discovered Dash cracked in several multiple places. Currently need to have airbags attended to as when I last called when it was convenient for me to take vehicle into repair , the repair place can’t meet my needs for time frame to repair. Am now afraid driving with all the cracks in dash but can Not be without vehicle.

Having alot of issues with the drain tubes especially with the front top tubes my floor boards are being soaked. The tubes are plastic so when and why for the drain tubes and how often should they be really be changed. The seal above driver door and passenger door in front are not always put in correctly or they move causing the water to cross over and pull into car instead of exiting. And the ac plug also problem. Certain years do not have the cabin filters .The engine light is very sensitive as well.

I HAVE TWO CRACKS ON MY DASHBOARD. ONE DEVELOPED OVER THE AIR BAG ON THE PASSENGER SIDE ONE MORNING BEFORE LEAVING FOR WORK. THE TRUCK ALWAYS SITS IN THE SHADE AND OUT OF THE SUN...IT WASNT EVEN HOT THE DAY IT HAPPENED SO HEAT CAN'T POSSIBLY BE AN ISSUE. THE SECOND CRACK DEVELOPED ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AND HAPPENED DURING THE WINTER....I WAS DRIVING FROM CHICAGO TO WISCONSIN AND THE TRUCK HAD BEEN WARM FOR A GOOD HOUR ALREADY WHEN I HEARD A POP. LOOKED OVER THE DASH AND SAW THE CRACK!

DASHBOARD CRACKED IN 2 LOCATIONS, UNDER 50,000 MILES ON VEHICLE. ONE CRACK LOCATED NEAR PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG THAT COULD BE DANGEROUS IN A CRASH AND EFFECT AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT. LARGE SCALE OF IDENTICAL DESIGN DEFECTS IN OTHER SIMILAR VEHICLES AND CHEVROLET WILL NOT REPLACE THE DAMAGED COMPONENT WITHOUT SIGNIFICANT COST TO OWNERS AND IF REPLACED WITH ONLY HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AGAIN AS FLAW HAS NOT BEEN CORRECTED IN REPLACEMENT COMPONENT.

CRACKED UPPER END OF DASH BOARD. THREE SEPARATE CRACKS APPEARED ON THE UPPER PART OF THE DASH, ONE IS GOING RIGHT ACROSS WHERE THE PASSENGER AIR BAG IS LOCATED. THIS HAPPENED FOR NO APPARENT REASON. THE VEHICLE HAD ABOUT 89000 MILES ON IT WHEN I FIRST OBSERVED THE ISSUE. IT RATTLES LIKE CRAZY WHILE DRIVING ON CITY ROADS AND IT IS PROBABLY A MOJOR SAFETY ISSUE IN THE EVENT OF A AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT.

I HAVE JUST RECEIVED A CARD IN THE MAIL ABOUT THE TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL. I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE IN THE SHOP FOR OIL CHANGES AT RELIABLE CHEVOLET AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THERE IS A RECALL NOTICE FOR THIS VEHICLE BUT THERE IS NO PART TO REPLACE. I HAVE LOOKED UP MY VIN NUMBER IN A WEB SITE NAMED WWW.AIRBAGRECALL.COM TO DETERMINE IF MY VEHICLE IS ON THE LIST. MY 2010 CHEVOLET AVALANCE IS ON THE LIST. I AM NOT SURE HOW TO PROCEED SINCE THE DEALER TELLS ME THAT THERE IS NO REPLACEMENT PART AVAILABLE. I ALSO HAVE A TIRE SYMBOL APPEAR ON MY DRIVER'S SCREEN. I HAVE SPOKEN TO THE DEALER WHO INDICATED THAT NOTHING CAN BEEN DIAGNOSED UNTIL THE SYMBOL REMAINS PERMANENT.

DASH CRACKED IN MULTIPLE LOCATIONS, ONE OVER THE INSTRUMENT PANEL, SECOND ONE UPPER LEFT OF PASSENGER AIRBAG, THIRD ONE UPPER RIGHT OF SAME AIRBAG. CENTER CLIP ON MAIN PART OF DASH BEHIND SPEAKER BROKE OFF DUE TO POOR DESIGN/CHEAP MATERIAL. FIRST NOTICED DASH VIBRATING WHEN VEHICLE IN MOTION ON HIGHWAY, DOWNHILL FROM THERE. TOOK TO DEALER AND GM, UNWILLING TO REPAIR/REPLACE WITHOUT $. QUICK SEARCH SHOWS IT TO BE A MAJOR ISSUE IN 2007+ AVALANCHES, SUBURBANS, TAHOES, ESCALADES, SIERRAS, SILVERADOS. NOT SURE WHAT IMPACT THESE CRACKS WILL HAVE ON AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT/PASSENGER SAFETY.

DASH BOARD CRACKED NEAR STEALING COLUMN WHILE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY. WENT ONLINE AND FOUND THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH 07-13 GM TRUCKS AND SUVS. THIS COULD END UP AS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE IF THE DASH CRACKS MORE WHILE DRIVING PIECES COULD FLY UP AND HIT DRIVER CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. THIS REALLY NEEDS TO BE LOOKED AT AND GM NEEDS TO RECALL THESE DASH BOARDS. POOR DESIGN. THERE IS NO SUPPORT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DASH. THE ONLY SUPPORT IS ON EITHER END OF THE WINDSHIELD VENTS.
