I PURCHASED THE 2006 VEHICLE USED IN DEC 2013. IN 2014 THE TRANSMISSION WENT BAD. IN 2015 I REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION AND BRAKE PADS & ROADERS.2016 REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP BECAUSE IT ALSO WENT BAD, REPLACED TIRES (NORMAL WEAR), BOUGHT A NEW BATTERY BECAUSE IT DIED. 2017 IT NEEDED TWO HUB BEARING AND BOTH FRONT WHEEL HUB REPLACED. THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE! I JUST FOUND OUT MY AIR BAG SENSOR WILL NEED TO BE REMOVED AND REPLACED. ALL MY MONEY HAS BEEN FLUSHED DOWN TO THIS VEHICLE. I DON'T RECOMMEND ANYONE BUYING A CHEVY TRUCK.

ON NOVEMBER 21, 2016 I NOTICED 2 CRACKS IN MY DASH. ONE CRACK APPROXIMATELY 6" LONG OVER THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AND ONE CRACK APPROXIMATE 2" LONG ON THE PASSENGER SIDE NEAR THE AIRBAG. I AM THE 2ND OWNER OF THIS VEHICLE WHICH I PURCHASED IN MAY OF 2012. I HAVE KEPT IT IN MY GARAGE AND INSTALLED A DASH COVER JUST AFTER PURCHASE. AT THE TIME I NOTICED THE CRACKS, IT HAD 66,800 MILES. I AVERAGE 5000 MILES PER YEAR.

IT IS A KNOW ISSUE THE ANY GM FROM 2007-2013 HAVE ISSUES IN THE DASHBOARD GETTING CRACKED. MINE IS A 2009 CHEVY AVALANCHE AND MY DASHBOARD HAS CRACKED IN SEVERAL PLACES. THE MANUFACTURER KNOWS ABOUT THE PROBLEM BUT HAS DONE NOTHING ABOUT IT TO GET THE CUSTOMERS TAKEN CARE OF. THIS IS DEFINITELY A MANUFACTURER DEFECT. HOW CAN YOU HELP THE CONSUMERS GET THEIR DASHBOARDS FIXED?

REFERENCE..I JUST HAPPEN TO SEE A COMMERCIAL ON TV A FEW MINUTES AGO ABOUT THE AIRBAGS SO I HAVE TO GATHER SOME REQUESTED INFO. LIKE THE EXACT DATE. I KNOW IT WAS IN 2010, SO I'M SIMPLY PUTTING IN A DATE FILLER UNTIL I CAN LOOK UP THE EXACT DATE.. I BELIEVE MY FIRST SURGERY WAS IN SEPTEMBER OF THE SAME YEAR.

AIR BAGS, STRUCTURE:BODY
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.

AIR BAGS, SEAT BELTS
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 DASHBOARD HAS DEVELOPED TWO VERY SIGNIFICANT CRACKS ONE CONCERNS ME BECAUSE IT IS LOCATED WHERE THE PASSENGER AIRBAG DEPLOYS. THE CRACK HAS LEFT A VERY SHARP EDGE NEXT TO THE AIR BAG AND I AM CONCERNED IF THE BAG DEPLOYS THIS EDGE COULD CUT THE AIRBAG.
