general problems of the 2007 Chevrolet Avalanche

The 2007 chevy Avalanche dash board shakes vigorously and cracking apart especially near the airbag and steering column. Chevy should issue a recall to fix the the dash board and stabilize the dashboard supports.

The sunroof glass broke broke away while I was in the interstate going 70 miles a hour. It was so scary. Thank god there wasn't anyone behind me at the time. This could have went thru a cars windshield behind me and killed them. They need to build these better or be illegal in the us. I am putting a claim in with my insurance CO. I don't know if it's covered. The garage that will be repairing mine said he gets many calls of this happening. Even though it's may not be a vehicle defect like breaks but it surly is a hazard issue. Even the insurance girl I was talking to said one almost hit her. She was lucky she was going up on the side of the vehicle that lost it and not behind it. This has not been a recall and something should be done about sunroofs. Extra brackets to hold them in maybe should be applied on any vehicle with a sunroof. I'm telling you it scared me to death when it broke. My heart was pounding and it could of caused me to panic and get in an accident. I had to drive with one hand holding my inside sliding cover. And if it had been pouring rain I would of had water pouring in and that would be an electrical issue. Please don't let this issue continue. Please have every vehicle with a sunroof recalled and have extra brackets added. Can you imagine if you was driving on the highway and a sunroof came flying at you. It would be worse than the ice on vehicles that is illegal. Never did I ever expect this to happen. I would pray this would come under highway safety. They are so dangerous. I will never purchase another vehicle with one again. I am waiting on the insurance CO.

Stability control and traction control not working can not find part to repplace as gm has discontinued the part needed steering angle position sensor gm part 15886733 I need this part, why is it discontinued?.

I drove to work & parked my 2007 Avalanche in my employers truck garage as I do every day. I went into the office attended a job briefing & we put on our coveralls for work then we got ready to leave to go to the 1st jobsite but as soon as the 1st two coworkers walked out of the shop they turned around yelling that my truck was on fire. I didn't believe them at 1st because I had just parked like 15 minutes prior. Parked & not running. Well I looked and my whole engine compartment was full of flames. We used 4 fire extinguishers to put the fire out & the fire department arrived to finish. My vehicle was totalled & I only had liability insurance.

Dash board completely over all of the dash including over passenger air bag the dash board was covered since purchase. Noticed it. 6 6 18.

The interior seat belts are cutting grooves in the plastic where they come out from on rear passenger seats. Also the interior door handles which are covered with chrome are peeling and the faux chrome is sharp an causes cuts if not opening the door from inside carefully. The cuts on fingers are painful. Has occurred to myself and passengers unaware of issue .

Takata recall I have been patience waiting to have my airbags recalled. Every time I contact the car dealership that I purchased my truck, they keep telling me that my truck can't be serviced to replace my defected takata air bags. I was in an accident in Feb 6th 2017. It wasn't my fault and the air bags didn't explode.

Checked dashboard and gm will not fix it,the air bag is exposed.

The interior door handles keep cutting people because the chrome covering is peeling up and the edges of it are very sharp. This happens when people are getting into or out of the car. I believe this is also a common problem with these vehicles. This vehicle only has about 60k miles on it. Date below is approximate.

I used my factory remote to unlock the truck the igntion sparked twice and then went on fire, for no reason it just started burning the entire steering column and all of what is around it burned up we used a pitcher of water to put the fire out, I contacted gm and was advised there was no recall for this. It can not be common for a car or truck to just ignite unlocking the doors we are grateful that I was not in the truck and just suffered burns to my hands trying to put the fire out if not my entire home would have been in flames.

The chrome coating on my interior door handles peels off and slices my finger. Has happened multiple times. This time was the worst.

When light comes on engine runs rough and shifts hard. When light goes off it runs fine.

Inside doer handle chrome is peeling off leaving a very sharp edge. Gm recalled this item but will not fix mine because of the mileage on my vehicle. There have been 2 injuries related to this problem.

Takata recall. This recall has been open for over 3 years with no remedy!! please help. My airbag light is always on when care is powered on.

Dash board broken many area's.

Dash is cracked in so many spots and missing peices to where it is unsafe. In an accident those loose and broken peices can hurt a passenger/driver. Can't even get the airbag recall taken care of because the dash is too damaged.
