DASHBOARD IS CRACKED ABOVE THE SPEEDOMETER. I HAVE 56000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. I OWNED A 2008 MODEL AND HAD SAME ISSUE. I THOUGHT THIS WAS ADDRESSED AND FIXED ON NEWER MODELS. I'M TOLD IT'LL COST ME $1500 TO FIX. IF THEY AREN'T GOING TO MAKE THIS GOOD I'M SWITCHING OVER TO TOYOTAS. THIS VEHICLE WAS PARKED FOR DAYS WHEN I WENT TO USE IT NOTICED THE CRACK. VERY DISSAPPOINTED!

I CONTACTED EVERETT CHEVROLET IN HICKORY, NC AFTER HAVING JUST PURCHASED THE VEHICLE USED FROM ANOTHER DEALER. I WAS PROVIDED WITH RECALL PAPERWORK. I WAS REFERRED TO A SERVICE MANAGER WHO INFORMED ME THAT THEY DID HAVE REPLACEMENT PARTS, BUT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR AND HOPEFULLY BE REIMBURSED BY TEKATA.

"TAKATA RECALL" I HAVE NOT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE NOR HAS THIS PROBLEM BEEN FIXED. I HAD FRONT END DAMAGE TO MY TRUCK AT ABOUT 40 MPH AND THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. I WAS TRAVELING ON AN HIGHWAY. BY NOT DEPLOYING MAY HAVE BEEN A GOOD THING. I WOULD LIKE FOR CHEVROLET TO CORRECT THIS ASAP.

TIRES
THE 1ST SET WAS PURCHASE WITH MY MILEAGE WAS 56340 ON 6-1-10 THEY WERE BFG LONG TRAIL TOUR BSW 28531 75 55 20 111T THEN ON 7-2-13 THE BFG LONG TRAIL TOUR WAS CRACKING AND I PURCHASED NEW TIRES, P275 55 20 111T MICHELIN LTX MS 2 22093, LIMITED 40 MONTH WARRANTY/ 70000 MILE WARRANTY. MY MILEAGE ON MY TRUCK WAS 97444. 2 MONTHS LATER I RECEIVED A LETTER FOR A RECALL ON THESE TIRES. ON 9-24-13 THEY PUT THE SAME P275 55 20 111T MICHELIN LTX MS 2 22093, LIMITED 40 MONTH WARRANTY/ 70000 MILE WARRANTY. THE DOT B99Y 56EX 2213 - 3 EACH AND THE 4 TIRE WAS DOT B99Y 56EX 2313. THESE TIRES ARE DOING THE EXACT SAME THING AS THE OTHER 2 SET OF TIRES I HAVE HAD ON MY TRUCK SINCE 6-1-10 AT MILEAGE OF 56340 AND NOW AT 142348. THE CURRANT TIRES ARE CRACKING ON SIDEWALKS AND BETWEEN TIRE TREAD. SEE ATTACHED PICTURES. ALL FOUR TIRES. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO TWO TIRE SHOPS HERE IN DAYTON OHIO. THEY BOTH TOLD ME THAT I SHOULD DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. I'VE CALLED MICHELIN CORPORATE OFFICES AND THE ARE OFFERING ME 60% OFF MY TIRES. I TOLD THEM IT'S A SAFETY ISSUE FOR ME AND THIS WILL BE THE 4TH SET OF TIRES SINCE 6-1-2010 WITH ONLY 86000 MILES DRIVEN GIVING AN AVERAGE OF 21500 PER SET. IF I'M BUYING THE BEST TIRE FOR THE LONGEST WARRANTY I EXPECT THE TIRES WEARING OUT BEFORE THE CRACKING OF TIRES AND HAVE TO BUY A NEW SET. I SAW ONLINE THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE SECOND SET LISTED ABOVE AND THAT'S WHY I HAD TO GET THE THIRD SET BUT THEY ARE DOING THE SAME THING. PLEASE HELP WITH THIS ISSUE. IT'S A SAFETY ISSUE FOR ME AND EVERYONE DRIVING AROUND ME. THE TIRES ARE ON A 2007 CHEVROLET AVALANCHE. *TR
