ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), SERVICE BRAKES
I WAS DRIVING TO WORK 12/17/16, 5:40AM. I WAS TRAVELING TO WORK AND I LOST ALL PRESSURE IN MY PEDAL. WHICH LED ME TO NEARLY HIT A TELEPHONE POLE. THE MASTER CYLINDER AND A FLEX BRAKE LINE GOING FROM THE MASTER CYLINDER TO THE BRAKE BOOSTER(MODULE) WERE REPLACED. BUT THIS DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. I HAVE BENCH BLED THE MASTER CYLINDER, AND ALL BRAKE LINES AROUND THE TRUCK. I STILL HAVE NO BRAKES UNLESS YOU PUSH THEM TO THE FLOOR. I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH, AND FOUND WERE OTHER PEOPLE WITH THE SAME MODEL AND YEAR TRUCK HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. AFTER READING ALL THOSE BLOGS AND POST, I DISCOVERED THAT THE MODEL AND YEAR OF AVALANCHE THAT I HAVE WAS RECALLED FOR THE ABS SYSTEM FOR FAILURE. *TR

DASHBOARD IN MY 2011 CHEVY AVALANCHE CRACKED NEAR THE AIRBAG WHICH I CONSIDER A SAFETY HAZARD. IF I GET IN AN AUTOMOBILE CRASH AND THE AIRBAG DEPLOYS I AM CONCERNED THAT SHARDS OF DASH WILL BE PROPELLED INTO THE CAB AND COULD HARM MY WIFE OR ME. GENERAL MOTORS REFUSES TO EVEN PARTICPATE IN THE COST OF REPLACING THE DASHBOARD.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER, AIR BAGS
2007 CHEVY AVALANCHE LTZ STARTED CRACKING LESS THAN TWO YEARS AFTER I BOUGHT IT NEW. IT NOW HAS 55,000 MILES ON IT AND I HAVE TAKEN VERY GOOD CARE OF IT. THE CRACK AND HOLE NEXT TO THE PASSENGER AIRBAG LOOKS LIKE IT COULD PROJECT SHARP PLASTIC PARTS IF AIRBAG IS DEPLOYED, CAUSING INJURY OR PUNCTURING THE AIRBAG RENDERING IT USELESS. ALSO ON THE DRIVERS SIDE, THE CRACKS ARE HUGE OVER THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AND I'M AFRAID SHRAPNEL COULD COME LOOSE AND CAUSE INJURY, THE CRACKS STARTED WHEN THE TRUCK WAS STATIONARY BUT GETS WORSE WHEN DRIVING. THE RATTLE IS TERRIBLY ANNOYING. I LIVE IN A SUBURB WITH GOOD ROADS AND ONLY TRAVEL DAILY ABOUT 5 MILES BUT TAKE LONG TRIPS ON FREEWAYS ONCE A YEAR. I'VE NEVER DRIVEN IT ON UNIMPROVED OR DIRT ROADS. *TR

POWER TRAIN
TRANSMISSION SLIPPING. WHEN TRAVELING AT SHIFT POINT 1-2, 2-3 THE ENGINE RPMS SUDDENLY INCREASE THEN RETURN TO NOMINAL SPEED. THE MILEAGE IS WAY TO LOW FOR THIS BEHAVOIR. I BELIEVE GM SHOULD ISSUE (OR PAY FOR) THE PARTS (THE TOUGHENED OR IMPROVED PARTS) TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM OR RE-REIMBURSE THE CURRENT OWNER FOR THE RETAIL COST OF THE GM (IMPROVED) PARTS IF THE OWNER CHOOSES TO HAVE THE WORK DONE ELSE WHERE. THE SHIFTING ACTION IS NOT FIRM, IT'S SLOPPY. AT TIMES YOU CAN'T FEEL THE SHIFT IN THE CONVENTIONAL WAY BUT YOU CAN HEAR IT.
