43 problems related to carrier/rack have been reported for the 2010 Chevrolet Avalanche. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Dash cracked in multiple locations, one over the instrument panel, second one upper left of passenger airbag, third one upper right of same airbag. Center clip on main part of dash behind speaker broke off due to poor design/cheap material. First noticed dash vibrating when vehicle in motion on highway, downhill from there. Took to dealer and gm, unwilling to repair/replace without $. Quick search shows it to be a major issue in 2007+ Avalanches, suburbans, tahoes, escalades, sierras, silverados. Not sure what impact these cracks will have on airbag deployment/passenger safety.
Cracked dash in multiple areas around the front airbags.
The plastic dash has began to spilt in numerous places causing safety concerns. The dash is worsening as time passes by. I am concerned because the plastic shards may break loose and cause harm to occupants riding in my vehicle. It is my position that the cracks are aa manufacture's defect and no vault of my own. I contacted both my local dealer and GMC failing to get resolution to this serious safety concern. According to various internet blogs and a facebook account there are hundreds of gm SUV owners across the nation having the same safety concerns. Any assistance with this issue is extremely appreciated.
The dash board on my 2010 Avalanche has two cracks one right beside the passenger airbag and the other right over the steering wheel . In case of an accident I'm sure the dash would explode and debris/plastic from the dash sharp pieces would fly into someone's face .
My truck dash is cracked in two places. One crack is near the passenger side airbag and the other is on top of the instrument panel on the driver side. The one above the instrument cluster is very very bad it's about 6 inches long and completely caved in. My vehicle is out of warranty because it is 4 years old but it is only 2000 miles out of warranty by mileage. There are numerous reports of other people having the exact same problems in the exact same areas.
Tamara recall. I am one of several gm customers who is having problems with the dashboard cracking. I've been in contact with gm customer care and they acknowledged my issue and have offered to pay 30% of the $1,569. 88 it would cost me to have my dashboard replaced. Since so many people are having this issue, I feel gm should issue a recall to repair customers dashboards at no charge.
The dash started cracking in 4 places and is now falling apart.
Dash board has cracks by the passenger airbag and cracks by the instrument cluster.
