Cracks in dash cover around air bag and over instrument cluster. No hard road hits, no junk on the dash. Heard a rattle, looked up there and found the cracks. Thousands of incidents across internet. Seat tracks rough sliding and motor failure. Outside mirror motor failure. I am the only driver and dont move seats much. Lack of use kills motors? rear window leaking water due to plastic frame shrinking, cracking and leaving a gap. Only took the window out once before finding it leaking 2 years later due to the plastic frame shrink and crack. Door handles paint falling off in flakes. Fronts replaced by dealer at 17K. 38K rear handles started doing it. Dealers unwilling to do anything after 36K. 78K on truck now, making last $575 payment this month and truck needs thousands in repairs. I would have thought buying a 45K truck and using it as a family traveler it would be the last one I would have to buy since it is well cared for. These trucks are now know for problems and less appealing. Selling it isn't easy because of these continual issues GM failed to address. The truck was discontinued in 2013 most likely due to mfg defects and complaint ratios. All GM trucks have these issues from 07 through 2013.

Cracked, broken dashboard. Cracked in 2 corners of the passenger air bag. Crack goes all the way across to the drivers side. A section around the speaker has completely broke off. Cruise control no longer workers. Some speakers work sometimes, other times other ones work. Makes horrible rattling sound. Dealership says won't cover it and a new dash is over $800 for parts.

I have the same safety concern many other owners are having. My dashboard is cracked in multiple spots, mainly around the airbag and instrument cluster. I believe this would affect the airbag from deploying properly or send sharp pieces of the dashboard into the cabin if impacted. I have contacted GM several times with zero assistance or concern on their part.

Dashboard cracked around the airbag area. Concerned of flying debris in case of an incident that involves airbag deployment.

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 Avalanche 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!!

The dashboard cracked in 2 places. One crack is over the instrument cluster on the drivers side and the other is on the passenger side next to the air bag. I was told that the replacement part has been modified to correct this issue, but GM will not pay to replace the dash. Will the dash shatter if the air bags are deployed?

- Manson, IA, USA

The contact owns a 2009 Chevrolet Avalanche. The contact stated that the dashboard cracked on the passenger's side, which could expose the air bag. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, who diagnosed that the dashboard needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 56,605. Updated 12/9/14 updated 06/1/2015

The dash on my 2009 Chevrolet Avalanche has cracked in two places. One over the gauge cluster and one crack over the passenger air bag. This problem has affected more 2007 + Silverado, Tahoe, Avalanche, escalades and more. If the passenger air bag deploys with the broken dash, it will send plastic shards flying through the cabin.GM should recall the defective dash and replace them.
