CHEVY DOES NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THE ISSUE

AFTER DRIVING IN THE SUMMER WENT INSIDE MY HOUSE, WHEN I CAME OUT THE DASH HAD CRACKED ABOVE THE AIRBAG AREA. ALSO CRACKED ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. THE TRUCK WAS NOT MOVING. THE DASH HAS NO STRUCTURE UNDER THE CENTER OF THE DASH TO KEEP THE DASH FROM FLEXING. IF PARKING WITH DASH HALF COVERED IN SHADE THEN THE DASH WILL BE DIFFERENT TEMPS ON OPPOSITE SIDES

THE DASHBOARD ON MY CHEVROLET AVALANCHE STARTED CRACKING ABOUT 12 MONTHS AGO. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH ONLINE I HAVE DISCOVERED THIS HAS BECOME A COMMON ISSUE WITH MANY CHEVROLET AVALANCHE, TAHOE, AND SUBURBAN IN THE 2007-2011 TIME FRAMES. I AM FOLLOWING WHAT OTHERS ARE DOING BY FILING COMPLAINTS WITH NHTSA AS I WOULD LIKE THIS ADDRESSED AS THE CRACK IS IN THE CORNER OF THE AIR BAG WHICH HAS BEEN RECALLED VIA THE TAKATA RECALL.

TAKATA RECALL APPROACHING ONE YEAR AND UNDER REVIEW!! ON JANUARY 17 2017 I CALLED GM ASSISTANCE TO FIND OUT THE STATUS OF RECALL AFTER RECEIVING A WRITTEN NOTICE. THEY STATED THAT IS STILL UNDER REVIEW. IT IS STILL SAFE TO DRIVE. WHY DOES IT TAKE ALMOST A YEAR TO EVEN START AND POSTPONE UNDER THE HEADING OF UNDER REVIEW? HONDA STARTED THE CHANGE OUT IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE NOTICE. ARE THEY WAITING TILL ONE OF THE FOUR GRANDCHILDREN OR WIFE IS INJURED OR KILLED? IT APPEARS THAT IT IS CHEAPER TO HAVE SOMEONE DIE THAN TO DO THE CORRECT THING OF REPLACING A DEFECTIVE PART. THEY APPEAR TO BE ATTEMPTING TO SWEEP IT UNDER THE RUG. PLEASE DRAW THEIR ATTENTION AND GET THINGS COMPLETED AS THEY SHOULD DO. THANK YOU [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
TWO WEEKS AGO DRIVING 60MPH ON HIGHWAY IN SNOW ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATES AND LOSE TOTAL POWER. "REDUCE POWER MODE" ILLUMINATED BUT ENGINE SHUT OFF. WE ALMOST GOT REAR ENDED BY A TRACTOR TRAILER ON [XXX]. ON SIDE OF ROAD FOR 2 HRS IN 20 DEGREE WEATHER WAITING ON AAA (NO SHOULDER ON HWAY) AND MOTOR STARTS. TAKE IT TO GARAGE AND GET THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR (TPS) CODE ANS STABILITRAK/ABS CODE. WE HAD ACCIDENTALLY HIT THE ONSTAR BUTTON A MINUTE BEFORE THIS AND MECHANIC THOUGHT THAT WAS RELATED SO HE CLEARED CODE AND SENT US ON OUR WAY. FOR TWO WEEKS WE WERE GOOD ANDIT HAPPENED AGAIN ON HIGHWAY IN RAIN [XXX] THIS WEEKEND, AGAIN IN MIDDLE OF HIGHWAY. THIS TIME CAR STARTED AFTER FIVE MINUTES. TOOK CAR TO DEALER AND THEY STATE THE TPS NEEDS REPLACING AND FRONT WHEEL SPEED SENSOR BROKEN. THERE IS A GM SERVICE BULLETIN #11273B WHERE GM ACKNOWLEDGES TPS ISSUE AND COVERS REPLACEMENT OF TPS FOR 2008-2011 VEHICLES. ALSO BULLETIN PIP3089B FOR BAD WIRING TO TPS FOR 2003-2006 AVALANCHES. GM DENIED MY SERVICE DESPITE THE FACT THAT A 2007 TPS AND THROTTLE BODY ARE THE SAME EXACT PART NUMBER AS THE DEFECTIVE ONE. THIS IS SUPER DANGEROUS AND EXTREMELY FREQUENT AS THERE ARE 550 POSTS ALONE ON [XXX] AS WELL AS MANY REPORTS TO [XXX] PLEASE ASSIST AS THEY ARE NOT STANDING BEHIND A DEFECTIVE AND DEADLY PRODUCT AS THE COMPUTER CUTS TOTAL POWER RIGHT ON HIGHWAY...
