2007 Chevrolet Avalanche. Letter received from people claim a dispute resolution organization, listing several vehicle complaints. The consumer stated the dashboard was replaced at 40,000 miles and it has since cracked again.

The contact owns a 2008 Chevrolet Avalanche. The contact stated that the dashboard fractured and separated, which created sharp edges. The contact indicated that the separation was located near the passenger side air bag. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was 40,500.

The dashboard on my Avalanche has developed a fairly significant crack right next to the passenger side airbag. The crack starts from towards the windshield side and leads up to and terminates at the crevice where the airbag is located. This in my opinion jeopardizes the integrity of the airbag. The concerns are that (a) the airbag may not deploy in the intended direction (b) may get ruptured due to making contact with the sharp edges of the crack or (c) may deploy unintentionally due to the weakness of the material holding it in place. This is a safety issue and gm needs to address it as such.

The spare tire release is impossible to operate unless there are two people around. After 7 years of corrosion and rust the release mechanism wont release the tire. This is hazardous should you have a flat at 3am on the side of the highway.

2002-2009 Chevrolet Avalanche rear removable window (frame). Lower l/h side (passenger side). Plastic frame subject to splitting in time with heat and separates and pulls away exposing tempered glass. Tempered glass is now in contact with supporting frame and vulnerable to shattering from road vibration or worse, collision,thus injuring passenger(s) including infants in rear seat . My 2003 Avalanche frame began cracking early 2007 and is now has a 1 1/2 inch gap. I along with several thousand owners (research on internet), have brought this matter of defective materials to gm and Chevrolets attention only to be told "sorry it's not covered". I am very disappointed and rather angry that gm would not offer to repair or even replace these obviously defective window frame assemblys. According to my research with other owners up to 2009 model year, this defect still exists and owners that were fortunate to have theirs replaced if still under warranty have reported that the replacement has started cracking just the same! this is proof that gm has done absolutely nothing to improve/replace inferior materials that made this frame.

(1) normal driving use - with limited usage of mid gate. (2) while raining water enters the cab through the mid gate, causing the carpet and matting to become soaked with water to the point that water pools on top of the carpet.
