DASH IS CRACKING IN MULTIPLE PLACES. THIS WOULD BE A HAZARD IF A ACCIDENT WAS TO HAPPEN AND THE AIR BAGS DEPLOY PLASTIC SHARDS WOULD BE SHOT TOWARDS ANY OCCUPANTS IN THE VEHICLE. ALSO DUE TO THE POOR CONSTRUCTION OF THE PRODUCT PIECES OF THE DASH ARE NOT LOCKED INTO PLACE LIKE DESIGNED BECAUSE OF THE DASH CRACKING IN SPOTS THAT ARE DESIGNED FOR TRIM PIECES TO CLIP IN.

I DROVE TO WORK & PARKED MY 2007 AVALANCHE IN MY EMPLOYERS TRUCK GARAGE AS I DO EVERY DAY. I WENT INTO THE OFFICE ATTENDED A JOB BRIEFING & WE PUT ON OUR COVERALLS FOR WORK THEN WE GOT READY TO LEAVE TO GO TO THE 1ST JOBSITE BUT AS SOON AS THE 1ST TWO COWORKERS WALKED OUT OF THE SHOP THEY TURNED AROUND YELLING THAT MY TRUCK WAS ON FIRE. I DIDN'T BELIEVE THEM AT 1ST BECAUSE I HAD JUST PARKED LIKE 15 MINUTES PRIOR. PARKED & NOT RUNNING. WELL I LOOKED AND MY WHOLE ENGINE COMPARTMENT WAS FULL OF FLAMES. WE USED 4 FIRE EXTINGUISHERS TO PUT THE FIRE OUT & THE FIRE DEPARTMENT ARRIVED TO FINISH. MY VEHICLE WAS TOTALLED & I ONLY HAD LIABILITY INSURANCE.

THE GM WEBSITE HAS SHOWN A "REMEDY NOT YET AVAILABLE" ON AN ISSUE THAT'S EXISTED FOR NEARLY 5 YEARS. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. EVEN THEIR OWN WEBSITE STATES THAT THEY'RE "WORKING QUICKLY" TO FINALIZE THE REPAIR OPTIONS. THE AIRBAGS ARE DANGEROUS AND MUST BE REPLACED, AS OTHER MAJOR MANUFACTURERS (LIKE FORD) ARE DOING.
