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.

TAKATA RECALL: RECALL NUMBER: 16V381 MYSELF, MY WIFE AND KIDS DRIVE MY 2010 CHEVY AVALANCHE. WE LIVE IN A REGION WITH HIGH SUMMER TEMPS, ALONG WITH VERY HIGH HUMIDITY LEVELS. I AM CONCERNED FOR THE SAFETY OF MY ENTIRE FAMILY. WHAT DO I DO NOW? FOR GM TO NOT HAVE A REMEDY AVAILABLE TO REPLACE THE FAULTY AIRBAGS IS UNACCEPTABLE. WHEN WILL THIS TAKATA AIRBAG ISSUE BE RESOLVED? HOW CAN I, IN GOOD CONSCIENCE ALLOW MY FAMILY TO DRIVE THIS TRUCK?

I HAVE TWO CRACKS ON MY DASHBOARD. ONE DEVELOPED OVER THE AIR BAG ON THE PASSENGER SIDE ONE MORNING BEFORE LEAVING FOR WORK. THE TRUCK ALWAYS SITS IN THE SHADE AND OUT OF THE SUN...IT WASNT EVEN HOT THE DAY IT HAPPENED SO HEAT CAN'T POSSIBLY BE AN ISSUE. THE SECOND CRACK DEVELOPED ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AND HAPPENED DURING THE WINTER....I WAS DRIVING FROM CHICAGO TO WISCONSIN AND THE TRUCK HAD BEEN WARM FOR A GOOD HOUR ALREADY WHEN I HEARD A POP. LOOKED OVER THE DASH AND SAW THE CRACK!

DASHBOARD CRACKED IN 2 LOCATIONS, UNDER 50,000 MILES ON VEHICLE. ONE CRACK LOCATED NEAR PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG THAT COULD BE DANGEROUS IN A CRASH AND EFFECT AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT. LARGE SCALE OF IDENTICAL DESIGN DEFECTS IN OTHER SIMILAR VEHICLES AND CHEVROLET WILL NOT REPLACE THE DAMAGED COMPONENT WITHOUT SIGNIFICANT COST TO OWNERS AND IF REPLACED WITH ONLY HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AGAIN AS FLAW HAS NOT BEEN CORRECTED IN REPLACEMENT COMPONENT.
