2008 Chevrolet Avalanche Complaints

2008 CHEVROLET AVALANCHE. CONSUMER STATED THAT THE AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY DURING AUTO ACCIDENT.

Chevrolet has KNOWINGLY AND WILLINGLY placed a dash in my 08 avalanche that is dangerous. The truck has a TK airbag and Chevrolet refuses to fix the issue CORRECTLY. The dash is cracked, as most GM products from 07-13 are, and now the airbags need to be replaced. The dealership advised me that it would come apart, and that I would need to spend 2 grand to have it repaired. GM told me on a recorded phone call that they have had several of these reports and that they do not have a "documented solution" for it. They told me I have to choose between the resale value of my truck or the safety of myself and passengers. They are at fault for the dash, as well as the TK airbag. GM refuses to do anything to make it right after their shotty work.

I HAVE REPLACED TWO DASHBOARDS. I BOUGHT THIS TRUCK BRAND NEW. THE DASHBOARDS CRACKED IN THE SAME EXACT SPOT ON THE CORNER OF THE AIRBAG. NEED A THIRD DASHBOARD

AFTER A COUPLE OF YEARS MY VEHICLE DEVELOPED SEVERAL CRACKS IN THE DASH, ESPECIALLY AROUND THE AIRBAG. YESTERDAY I HAD THE AIRBAG RECALL PERFORMED. AS A RESULT OF THE REPAIR, THE CRACKS ARE NOW BROKEN PIECES. I NOW FEAR THAT IN THE EVENT OF AN AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT, SHARDS OF SHARP PLASTIC WILL BE THROWN INTO THE AIR AND COULD POTENTIALLY RESULT IN SEVERE INJURY.

MY DASH IS CRACKED RIGHT BY THE AIRBAG AND RIGHT OVER THE CLUSTER WHICH I FEEL IS A DEFECT IN THE MATERIAL THAT WAS USED TO MAKE THE DASH AND IS A SAFETY HAZARD. IF THE AIRBAG DEPLOYS ' COULD BUST AND PIECES COULD FLY INJURY SOMEONE OR PUNCTURE THE AIRBAG I FEEL THAT GM SHOULD RESOLVE THIS PROBLEM I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR A NEW DISH THANK YOU HOPE TO HEAR BACK SOON. FURTHERMORE THERE IS AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM WITH MY VEHICLE THE TRUCK WILL LOCK BY ITSELF WITH THE KEYS IN THE IGNITION OR LAYING ON THE CONSUL IS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES ON ME AGAIN THANK YOU
