Three problems related to warning light on have been reported for the 2009 Chevrolet Avalanche. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Recall #n212328790 for air bag ,NHTSA # 21v053 . Service done by dealer ,but air bag warning light still illuminated , mechanic said bag will not deploy with light on . What was purpose of recall if we still have no operating air bag?.
My dash cracked right by the airbag and has caused my airbag warning light to come on. Now my airbag warning light toggles between on and off. My dash continues to fall apart even with a dash mat covering it. I don't know if my airbag will deploy if needed. Plus I worry about shards of plastic hurting me or my family. Gm needs to do something. I don't know the exact day the crack showed up but I notice it in January 2017 while getting a stuffed animal out of the truck. Over the past months, the cracks have gotten worse to the point there is a hole in the dash from the shaking while I driving and nothing being secure.
Instrument panel "airbag" warning light (red continuously on) illuminated. After first incident initial engine ignition start bit (built in test) clears airbag fault for no more than 1 minute every start sequence at which time it triggers a "red dash warning icon light. " I took vehicle to dealer who claimed necessary fix is owners responsibility and expense. They also declared they had "no knowledge of chevy Avalanche or silverado airbag recalls or issues. " I called gm customer service help line and lodged a complaint. Case number with gm is 71-148283766. Gm stated that they did not feel responsible for the issue. Both the 2007-08 chevy silverado's' as well as the 2011 plus chevy Avalanches are all under dot takata airbag recalls. The 2009 chevy Avalanche is a growth product of the chevy 2008 silverado!!! I believe I am one of the takata airbag customers!!.
