AIR BAGS
I AM THE OWNER OF A 2011 CHEVROLET AVALANCHE. I RECEIVED THE CHEVROLET RECALL, I WENT TO DO THE AIRBAG REPAIR AND THEY INFORM ME THAT THE COMPANY THAT MAKES IT HAS GONE BANKRUPT AND THERE IS NO REPAIR. THEY ALSO INFORM ME THAT IT IS DANGEROUS TO USE THE VEHICLE SINCE THE AIRBAG CAN CAUSE DAMAGE. WHAT I CAN DO?

MY DASH KEEPS CRACKING, I HAD IT REPLACED ONCE IN 2015 AND NOW 2020 (BEEN CRACKED FOR 3 YEARS NOW) BOTH PIECES ARE ALL CRACKED WITH HOLE IN THE CENTER OF DASH. SEEMS LIKE THE SUN DRIES OUT THE PLACE WHERE IT SCREWS IN. THE SCREWS/BOLTS FALL OFF AND DASH JUST BOUNCES ALL OVER ANDA STARTS CRACKING. CALL THE SAME DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT REDONE. THEY TOLD ME $350 PLUS LABOR.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
HAVING INTERMITTENT START PROBLEMS THAT SEEM TO BE CAUSED BY AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM. THE TRUCK WILL NOT START OR TURN OVER WHILE DASH WARNINGS INDICATE "PARKING ASST OFF" AND "TRACTION STABILITY OFF". INITIALLY IT WAS JUST THESE ISSUES ALONG WITH THE NON START BUT NOW 4 WEEKS AND $588.04 LATER INCLUDES THE POWER LOCKS GOING UP AND DOWN BY THEMSELVES AND AC BLOWING HOT AIR. FORTUNATELY THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED WHEN I TRIED TO START IT. THE CHEVY DEALER SAID AT FIRST THEY THOUGHT IT HAD BEEN STRUCK BY LIGHTNING THEN CLAIMED IT WAS THE ONSTAR MODULE WHICH THEY WANTED TO REPLACE AT $699. I ADVISED THEM I DON'T USE ONSTAR SO THEY SAID THEY COULD DISCONNECT IT FROM THE REST OF THE VEHICLE AND THAT WORKED FROR A FEW WEEKS. THE TRUCK DROVE BEAUTIFULLY BUT NOW IS BACK AT THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY WANT TO REPLACE THE ONSTAR MODULE AGAIN WHICH CLEARLY ISN'T THE PROBLEM. I LOVE THE TRUCK BUT CAN'T AFFORD SEVERAL HUNDRED DOLLARS EVERY FEW WEEKS ON THIS. I NEED A REAL SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM AND I KNOW THAT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE BECAUSE I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS PROBLEM AND FOUND IT TO BE A GM ISSUE THAT IS AFFECTING MANY, MANY OTHERS BESIDE MYSELF AND AS FAR BACK AS THE 2006 MODELS. IF IT GOES BACK THAT FAR AND WITH SO MANY OTHER PEOPLE THERE HAS TO BE A SOLUTION. PLEASE SOMEBODY HELP ME FIND IT!!!!

MY DAUGHTER OWNS THIS VEHICLE AND TRIED MANY TIMES TO GET HER DASHBOARD REPAIRED AS A WARRANTY ISSUE WITH NO LUCK. EVERYONE TOLD HER IT WAS NOT THEIR PROBLEM AND THERE WAS NO RECALL ISSUED FOR THIS. I WAS DRIVING HER TRUCK TODAY AND NOTICED THERE ARE NOW 5 CRACKS IN THE DASHBOARD. THE 1ST AND 2ND CRACK HAPPENED ABOUT 2017 WHILE PARKING OUT OF THE SUN, IN A PARKING GARAGE. THE DASH RATTLES CONSTANTLY AND AT 1 LOCATION THE DASH IS ALMOST CRACKED IN HALF. SPEAKING WITH SEVERAL OTHER OWNERS THEY ALL SAY THE SAME. THERE APPEARS TO BE NO RECALL AND AND NONE OF THE DEALERSHIPS SAY IT'S NOT THERE PROBLEM. THERE IS NO RECALL. WE LIVE IN SOUTH LOUISIANA AND MY MAIN CONCERN IS SAFETY OF MY DAUGHTER AND HER PASSENGERS. IS THERE A RECALL? WAS THERE A RECALL THAT WE WERE NOT NOTIFIED? AND WILL THERE BE A RECALL? ALSO WHAT HAPPENS, GOD FORBID, SHE IS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, HITS A BUMP IN THE ROAD, AND HER AIRBAGS DEPLOY? AND THIS CAUSES HER TO HIT SOMEONE, CAUSES HARM TO HERSELF OR SOMEONE ELSE OR POSSIBLY KILLS SOMEONE? THIS CONCERNS ME MORE THAN I CAN COMMUNICATE TO YOU. ONE THING I FAILED TO MENTION, EVERY DEALERSHIP DID OFFER TO REPAIR OR REPLACE THE DASH, AT OUR COST OF COURSE. PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT MY NEXT STEP SHOULD BE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. I LOOK FORWARD TO HEARING FROM YOU WITH SOME SORT OF SOLUTION. [XXX] REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *CC

SEVERELY CRACKED DASHBOARD. THIS HAPPENED BOTH WHEN STATIONARY AND MOVING. PURCHASED THIS TRUCK JUST A FEW WEEKS AGO. HAD CRACKED DASHBOARD. PREVIOUS OWNER SAID IT HAD BEEN THAT WAY FOR YEARS. FIGURED IT WOULD NOT COST MUCH TO FIX/REPLACE. TOOK IT TO BODY SHOP THIS MORNING. NO WAY THEIR PRICE IS WITHIN MY BUDGET. CRACK CAUSES CONSTANT RATTLING AND IS EXTREMELY ANNOYING. FRIENDS HAVE LOOKED AT THE TRUCK SINCE I BOUGHT IT AND ARE REALLY IMPRESSED WITH ALL THE ADVANTAGES IT HAS TO OFFER. HOWEVER THE LOOK ON THEIR FACES WHEN THEY SEE THE DASHBOARD MAKES ME WISH I HAD NEVER PURCHASED THIS TRUCK. I WOULD LOVE TO SAY I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS TRUCK TO OTHERS WHO ARE PURCHASING A USED VEHICLE BUT THAT WOULD BE A LIE. SOMETIMES IT'S THE LITTLE THINGS THAT CAN CHANGE A PERSONS WHOLE OUTLOOK AND THIS IS A BIGGIE. YOU DROPPED THE ON THIS. NOT ONLY IS IT A COSMETIC DEFECT BUT I CAN SEE A LOT OF SAFETY ISSUES ALSO. WISH I HAD NEVER PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ENGINE
VEHICLE HAS 120,000 MILES ON IT AND HAS A RANDOM MISFIRE, WITH TRACTION CONTROL AND STABILTRACK WARNINGS AND A FLASHING CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. ENGINE HAS EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION AND RUNS ROUGH. INSTALLED NEW PLUGS AND WIRES, NO CHANGE. AFTER READING UP ON THESE ENGINES I FOUND OUT THAT THE AFM / DOD FEATURE IS A COMMON FAILURE FOR THESE ENGINES. GM SHOULD STEP UP AND HELP OWNERS WITH SOME OF THE REPAIR COSTS. THIS IS GOING TO BE EXPENSIVE. *TR
