A CRACK ON THE PASSENGER SIDE ABOVE THE AIRBAG APPEARED 3 YEARS AFTER I BOUGHT THE TRUCK. NOW THE DRIVER SIDE HAS MULTIPLE CRACKS OVER THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. IT SEEMS TO BE GETTING WORSE. THE BACK PIECE OF THE DASHBOARD IS COMPLETELY LOOSE AND FLOPS AROUND ON UNEVEN ROADS. SAFETY IS A CONCERN DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE PLASTIC IS SOMEWHAT BRITTLE AND MAY SHATTER ON AN ACCIDENT OR RUFF ROADS. I HAVE HAD A DASH COVER SINCE NEW.

ENGINE
I WAS RECENTLY INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT WHERE I PASSED OUT WHILE OPERATING MY VEHICLE. I BELIEVE THAT CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING WAS THE CONTRIBUTING FACTOR THAT CAUSED THIS ACCIDENT. FAULTY EXHAUST MANIFOLD FASTENERS SEEMS TO BE AN ISSUE THAT COULD HAVE CAUSED THIS ACCIDENT. I WAS SHOCKED TO SEE THAT THERE IS NO RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE INCURRED NUMEROUS PERSONAL EXPENSES DUE TO THE ACCIDENT, BUT FEEL LUCKY THAT THERE WERE NO SERIOUS INJURIES OR FATALITIES. I AM WRITING THIS TO CALL ATTENTION TO THE ISSUE IN HOPES THAT YOU WILL DO SOMETHING TO KEEP THIS FROM HAPPENING TO SOMEONE ELSE WHO MIGHT NOT BE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. I AM DISAPPOINTED THAT THERE HAS BEEN NO RECALL ON THIS PRODUCT. THE VEHICLE IS TOTALED, BUT COULD STILL BE EXAMINED TO FIND THE CAUSE.

THE ACTIVE FUEL MANAGEMENT (AFM) SYSTEM HAS FAILED CAUSING THE MOTOR TO LOSE COMBUSTION IN ONE OF THE AFM CYLINDERS (CYLINDER 7 TO BE EXACT) DUE TO THE AFM LIFTER FAILED AND HAS JAMMED THE EXHAUST VALVE OPEN. GM IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND HAS HAD SEVERAL COMPLAINTS TO FIX. EVERYONE WITH THE AFM SYSTEM FROM GM FOR AROUND MY MODEL YEAR HAVE HAD SIMILAR PROBLEMS OR HAVE COMPLETELY LOST THE MOTOR

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I AM VERY DISASIFIED WITH THE WAY THE ISSUE HAS BEEN HANDLED. I DRIVE A 2010 CHEVROLET AVALANCHE LTZ WITH 111,000 MILES ON IT. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IN 2005 WITH 38,000 MILES. A YEAR LATER DURING THE SUMMER TIME I BEGAN TO HAVE ELECTRICAL ISSUES (WHILE IN MOTION VEHICLE GUAGES START SPAZZING OUT GOING UP AND DOWN, RADIO CUTS IN AND OUT, DOOR LOCKS CYCLE UP AND DOWN AND VEHICLE STALLS, DOESNT SEEM TO ACCELERATE AND SHIFT INTO SECOND GEAR. I HAVE BEEN STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE LANE OF THE FREEWAY TRAVELING 60 MILES PER HOUR WHEN SUDDENLY IT BEGINS TO ACT UP. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE WITH THREE CHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE AND MULTIPLE CARS DRIVING AT THE SAME SPEED AS I TRY TO GET OVER TO THE SHOULDER TO SHUT OFF MY VEHICLE BUT SEEMS STUCK IN NEUTRAL PREVENTING ME FROM QUICKLY GETTING OFF THE FREE WAY. AT TIMES I WILL CYCLE THE IGNITION KEY OFF AND ALL POWER CUTS OUT. I HEAR A CLICKING NOISE AND LIGHTS FLICKER BACK ON, WHICH IS MY CUE TO CYCLE THE IGNITION KEY BACK ON. SOMETIMES IT WORKS AND OTHERS IT DOESN'T. AT TIME POWER DOESN'T COME BACK FOR AT LEAST 5 MINUTES. THIS OCCURS SPORADICALLY DURING THE SPRING AND SUMMER TIMES. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY WERE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM, STATING THEY COULDNT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THEY ASSUMED THE IGNITION SWITCH SO THAT WAS CHANGED BUT PROBLEM CONTINUED. I CONTACTED CHEVROLET WHERE THEY OPENED A CASE BUT IT TROUBLES ME THAT THEY WORK ON A CASE BY CASE AND STATED THEY ARENT AWARE OF MULTIPLE SIMILAR COMPLAINTS. VEHICLE WAS DROPPED OFF AGAIN WHERE THEY STILL COULDN'T DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM BUT DID RESEARCH AND FOUND THE CABLE MAY POSSIBLY BE THE REASON SO THAT IS STILL PENDING. IF THIS IS SO COMMON AND A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERNS ON THE HIGHWAY WHY HASN'T THERE BEEN A RECALL FOR CHEVROLET. I HAVE ATTACHED A DOCUMENT SENT FROM THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT THE CABLES. CHEVY NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THE ELECTRICAL.

I OWN A 2010 CHEVROLET AVALANCHE LTZ THAT WAS PURCHASED USED IN 2015 (38,000 MILES WITH A SMALL CRACK JUST ABOVE THE AIR BAG TO THE LEFT, RIGHT AT THE CORNER OF THE AIR BAG ON THE DASH BOARD. SINCE I'VE HAD THE VEHICLE, IT HAS CRACKED MORE OVER TIME TO A LONGER LENGTH ON THE LEFT AND RIGHT CORNER AND LEFT OF THE STEERING COLUMN. THE VEHICLE IS UP KEPT BUT THE DASH BOARD KEEPS CRACKING. IM NOTICING THE MULTIPLE VEHICLE AVALANCHE'S HAVE THIS SAME PROBLEM AND WHY HASNT IT BEEN RESOLVED OR A RECALL BEEN PLACED.
