VISIBILITY/WIPER
THE WIPERS STARTED GOING SLOW THEN STOPPED BLOCKING VIEW. CHECKING ONLINE EVERYONE SEEMS TO BELIEVE THE WIPER SYSTEMS TRANSMISSION POINTS ARE FAILING. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS WHEN IT'S RAINING AND YOU LOSE YOUR WIPERS.

THE DASHBOARD CRACKED SOON AFTER I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AND THE DEALERSHIP SAID THAT IT'S NOT A SAFETY ISSUE FOR THEM TO LOOK INTO. IT'S SUCH A DISTRACTION WHILE DRIVING WHEN THIS SHOULDN'T HAVE HAPPEN BEING I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE FOR THE STAND UP VALUE AND REPUTATION OF CHEVY. I GOT INTO MY TRUCK AFTER BEING PARKED IN MY JOB PARKING LOT AFTER A LONG DAY AT WORK AND TO COME OUT TO SEE MY DASHBOARD CRACKED. THE QUALITY OF CHEVY HAS TO IMPROVE AND THIS MAY CAUSE ACCIDENTS AND NOT TO MENTION THE CHEVY NAME TO BE TARNISHED CAUSE THE LACK OF CONCERN FOR THERE DEDICATED CUSTOMERS.

I HAVE 2 CRACKS IN THE DASHBOARD OF MY 2013 AVALANCHE THAT SEEMINGLY APPEARED OVERNIGHT. MUCH LIKE THE OTHER COMPLAINTS I'VE SEEN ON THIS SITE, ONE CRACK IS AT THE TOP CORNER OF THE PASSENGER AIR BAG AND THE OTHER IS ON THE DRIVER SIDE. I'VE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH GM AND THEY'VE OFFERED TO SPLIT THE REPAIR WITH ME BUT MY RESEARCH INDICATES THIS MIGHT BE A MORE WIDE SPREAD ISSUE. OPENING THIS ISSUE TO HOPEFULLY BRING MORE AWARENESS TO THE SITUATION. VEHICLE HAS BEEN EITHER KEPT IN A GARAGE OR HAD A THICK WINDOW VISOR IN THE FRONT WINDOW SINCE I BOUGHT IT NEW.

THE DASH CRACKED OVERNIGHT. THERE ARE NOW TWO BIG CRACKS IN THE DASH OF THE VEHICLE, ONE ON PASSENGER SIDE JUST ABOVE THE AIRBAG AND ANOTHER ON THE DRIVER SIDE, JUST TO LEFT OF CENTER ABOVE THE MAIN GAUGE CLUSTER. I HAVE READ ONLINE THAT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE BY GENERAL MOTORS FOR THE 2013 AVALANCHE, AS WELL AS OTHER MODELS FROM THAT YEAR AND THE FEW YEARS PREVIOUS. THIS VEHICLE IS KEPT IN THE GARAGE, HAS NEVER BEEN OFF ROAD OR BEEN WRECKED IN ANY WAY. THE DASH ITSELF IS ONLY WIPED DOWN WITH A DAMP CLOTH WHEN TRUCK IS WASHED, AND NEVER HAS CHEMICALS USED ON IT. WHEN THE TRUCK IS NOT IN THE GARAGE, A SUN VISOR SHIELD IS PLACED IN THE FRONT WINDOW AT ALL TIMES. THIS IS A BIG SAFETY ISSUE, DUE TO THE FACT THAT IS COMPROMISES THE INTEGRITY OF THE AIR BAG AND ALSO CAN ALLOW FOR FLYING DEBRIS IN THE CASE OF AN ACCIDENT.
