I TAKE CARE OF MY AVALANCHE! I AM THE ONE THAT DRIVES IT MOST AND I THINK THE DASH SHOULDN'T CRACK BUT I SEEN TWO THAT HAVE THE SAME CRACK! I THINK THAT THIS SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY! THIS AVALANCHE COSTS TOO MUCH FOR THIS TO HAPPEN! COME ON GMC OR CHEVROLET LETS FIX IT!

Update from Dec 30, 2017: still waiting for dash repair on my 2011 avalanche! what you all waiting for someone to get hart or get killed in a accident or just waiting for air bag to go off!

problem #2

Aug 192015

Avalanche LTZ

  • Automatic transmission
  • 38,000 miles

Cracked right at edge of airbag on passenger side. I have seen numerous photos of Tahoe and Avalanche of crack in same spot, this is a defect. The dash is two pieces. The larger piece has a speaker mounted in middle beneath it. This dash is attached to upper dash via a lever catch in middle, as you go over uneven roads with potholes and such the dash bounces slightly and over time the plastic weakens

problem #1

Jul 012015

Avalanche LTZ 3.5L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 62,000 miles

Lots of vibration and noise coming from dash, keeping my fingers crossed that the air bag doesn't deploy. I have an extended warranty, but they consider the dash as trim and that's not covered. I understand the cracked dash is known to happen in Avalanche's, why hasn't GM done something to correct this problem or issued a call back to repair or replace?
