I, LIKE THOUSANDS OF GM CUSTOMERS, HAVE A CRACK IN MY DASHBOARD. AFTER I TOOK ALL THE STEPS WITH MY LOCAL DEALER TO NO AVAIL, I EMAILED THE CEO OF GM. I IMMEDIATELY GOT A CALL BACK FROM SOMEONE AT HER OFFICE AND, AFTER ALL WAS SAID AND DONE, I WAS INFORMED THAT GENERAL MOTORS WAS NOT GOING TO EVEN PARTICIPATE IN THE REPLACEMENT OF THE DASH. GM HAS TURNED ITS' BACK ON ALL THE CUSTOMERS WHO HAVE THIS PROBLEM AND BASICALLY SAID THEY'LL TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR FIXING THIS HUGE PROBLEM.

DASH HAS CRACKED AND BROKEN AT LEFT TOP CORNER OF PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG AND OVER INSTRUMENT PANEL ON DRIVERS SIDE. ENTIRE DASH IS VERY BRITTLE. THIS COULD LEAD TO SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH IN THE EVENT OF AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. I HAVE SEEN HUNDREDS IF NOT THOUSANDS OF THESE COMPLAINTS FOR ALL CHEVY AND GM TRUCKS AND SUV'S IN THIS YEAR VEHICLE AND THE YEARS FOLLOWING IT. WILL IT TAKE A PIECE OF DASH FLYING THROUGH SOMEONE'S JUGULAR VEIN TO GET GM TO FINALLY CARE ABOUT CUSTOMER SAFETY?

AIR BAGS
"TAKATA RECALL" IN JULY 2016 I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE ON MY 2008 AVALANCHE TAKATA AIRBAG. IN JUNE 2017 A SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON. I CALLED THE DEALER (WILLIAMS CHEVROLET) IN ELKTON MARYLAND AND THEY TOLD ME THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE FIX. I CALLED CHEVROLET CUSTOMER SERVICE AND WAS TOLD THE SAME THING. I WAS TOLD BY BOTH PARTIES THE RECALL DIDN'T MEAN ANYTHING THAT I HAD TO PAY FOR THE FIX. I TOLD BOTH PARTIES THAT I FELT IF THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS AIRBAG AND A SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON IT IS THEIR RESPONSIBILITY TO REPLACE AND FIX MY AIRBAG UNDER THE RECALL AT NO COST TO ME. I CALLED ONSTAR A WAS TOLD THAT IT SHOULD BE FIXED IMMEDIATELY. THE RECALL NOTICE STATES THE AIRBAG INFLATORS IT SUPPLIED TO GM ARE DEFECTIVE AND MAY RUPTURE DURING DEPLOYMENT CAUSING SERIOUS OR FATAL INJURIES. THE TRUCK HAS LESS THAN 93000 MILES ON IT. I WOULD APPRECIATE ANY HELP YOU CAN GET ME ON THIS MATTER. THANKS, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
WITH MY AVALANCHE, I WAS TOWING A TRAILER WITH A CAR LOADED AND TRAVELING AT LESS THAN 10 MPH, I APPLIED THE BRAKES TO SLOW FOR A TURN AND LOST NEARLY ALL THE BRAKING POWER. I PULLED TO THE SHOULDER AND NOTICED THAT ONE OF THE BRAKE LINES FORWARD OF THE ABS MODULE LOCATED INSIDE THE LEFT FRAME RAIL DIRECTLY BENEATH THE DRIVERS SEAT HAD RUPTURED DUE TO CORROSION. FURTHER INSPECTION SHOWED ALL BRAKE LINES IN THAT AREA WERE COVERED WITH CORROSION. ALL BRAKE LINE WERE REPLACED WITH NEW STAINLESS STEEL LINES AFTER RESEARCHING THAT THIS VERY COMMON PROBLEM WAS NOT AUTHORIZED FOR RECALL. REPAIR COST: $950.00. IT WOULD APPEAR THAT BRAKE PROBLEMS OF THIS FREQUENCY AND MAGNITUDE SHOULD HAVE BEEN SUBJECT TO RECALL AS IT IS APPARENT THAT IT IS A DESIGN FLAW AND VERY DANGEROUS.

MAJOR DASH CRACKING ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER ON BOTH SIDES OF THE DASH HUMP. 3-4" CRACK ON THE LEFT OF THE HUMP, APPROX 6-8" ON THE RIGHT. ANOTHER CRACK STARTING AT THE MIDDLE OF THE DASH, GOING THROUGH THE DASH MOUNTED SPEAKER OPENING FROM THE FRONT VENTS ALL THE WAY TO THE WOOD TRIM ABOVE THE RADIO (6-8"). ANOTHER CRACK TO THE FRONT LEFT OF THE AIRBAG, APPROX 2" LONG. RATTLING ON EVERY LITTLE BUMP. I BELIEVE THIS HAS ALSO COMPROMISED SOME OF THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS THAT CONTROL THE DOOR LOCKS AND WINDOWS. SEVERAL OF THE CRACKS WERE NOTICED IN THE MORNING BEFORE MOVING THE VEHICLE AND WERE NOT SEEN THE PREVIOUS NIGHT.

THE DASH IS CRACKED IN TWO PLACES, ONE IS RIGHT AT THE CORNER OF THE PASSENGER AIR BAG, THE SECOND IS ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. I WAS TOLD THIS IS HAPPENING IN ALL GM TRUCKS 2007-2013. GM AND THE DEALER WILL NOT FIX. I AM AFRAID THAT IF THE AIR BAGS DEPLOY THE DASH WILL BE SHRAPNEL. AND COSMETICALLY IT LOOKS HORRIBLE AND RATTLES. GM NEEDS TO RECALL.

I AM CONCERNED THAT THERE ARE NO REPLACEMENTS FOR THE FAULTY TAKATA AIRBAGS. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP, AND THEY TOLD ME THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. THEY WOULD NOT EVEN HAVE AN AIRBAG REPLACEMENT AT MY OWN EXPENSE TO REPLACE THE FAULTY TAKATA AIRBAGS. DO I HAVE TO BE KILLED OR SOMEONE ELSE IN MY TRUCK KILLED BEFORE SOMETHING IS DONE?
