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.

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.

Cracked dashboard defect. I asked the manufacturer (gm) what happens to a cracked dashboard during a collision? Their response was basically nhtsa decides what a safety concern IS. well, I recently chatted with nthsa online and asked the question, what happens to a cracked dashboard during a collision? Nthsa response to me was, that would be a question for the manufacturer since they are the ones who conduct the crash tests. apparently no one knows what happens to a defective dashboard during a collision, I imagine shrapnel impaling into my face or my children's face. We all know gm would rather pay families for the burning deaths of their loved ones rather than issue a recall for their defective product because it's cheaper..... I suggest the authority "nthsa" hold the manufacturer accountable for defects regardless of pressure from washington representatives that may put pressure on nthsa to have less stringent standards jusr so a company can make more profits and throw more money into some asshats coffer. that's the only logical explanation as to why defects are not remedied. I asked again, what happens to a cracked dashboard during a collision? Who IS going to answer that question? Who IS going to decide if that's a safety concern? Who sets the standard for safety? What's the minimal acceptable death rate due to vehicle defects? What's the minimal acceptable human deformation, handicapped rate due to vehicle defects? I look forward to having those questions answered and not just referred to an online resource that doesn't answer these questions specifically.

The dashboard has cracked around the instrument cluster and the air bag. Causing safety hazards. It IS obviously a flawed design gm refuses to own up to. The vehicle also has some electrical issue that causes the trucks to come to a stop on the interstate.

Received notice of recall many years ago. Remedy has never been completed after many calls to manufacturer, dealer and nhtsa over many years. The excuse IS always that the replacement part IS not available. This IS disgraceful since we are at risk for severe injury or even death.

I have a 2008 chevy avalanche ltz with the 5.3L V8 engine with adaptive fuel managment. It was purchased used with 120K miles. It became apparent that the engine was consuming oil, 1-2 quarts per 3000 miles. Recently the engine started producing white/blue smoke on start up and oil consumption increased to 2-3 quarts in 1500 miles. My vehicle IS currently at a mechanics shop and I am told that for starters I will need new valve covers that are redesigned from the original ones and that excessive oil consumption IS common on this engine. I have read of other owners that have had to have pistons/rings, valve covers replaced, and a baffle placed into the oil pan to mitigate the oil consumption. This seems to be a fairly common occurrence that isn't a typical maintenance issues since these parts weren't oem when the vehicle was made. It seems unacceptable to have to have oem modifications completed out of my pocket for something that seems to be identified as an issue with specific parts made to mitigate the issue. I am very concerned what this acceptable oil consumption will mean for the longevity of my engine.

We had a blowout on our 2008 chevy avalanche. When the tire blew out, all the side air bags deployed. No crash happened! Only a tire blowing!! Going less than 10mph.
Defect investigations
NHTSA’s Office of Defects Investigation opened these reviews into vehicles including this one.
- Desiccated Air Bag Inflator Rupture
From 2000 through 2017, Takata produced millions of air bag inflators using two types of phase-stabilized ammonium nitrate ("PSAN") propellant -- propellant 2004 and propellant 2004L. After prolonged exposure to high temperature cycles and humidity, inflators using propellant 2004 can degrade, causing the propellant…
From 2000 through 2017, Takata produced millions of air bag inflators using two types of phase-stabilized ammonium nitrate ("PSAN") propellant -- propellant 2004 and propellant 2004L. After prolonged exposure to high temperature cycles and humidity, inflators using propellant 2004 can degrade, causing the propellant to burn too quickly when ignited. The rapid burning can cause the inflator to rupture during deployment, potentially causing serious or even fatal injury to vehicle occupants. See 2016 Blomquist Report at www.nhtsa.gov/sites/nhtsa.gov/files/documents/expert_report-hrblomquist.pdf.Consequently, all frontal inflators using propellant 2004 that do not contain a "desiccant" (a substance that traps and holds moisture) in US vehicles are under recall. These "non-desiccated" inflators either have been or are required to be replaced.In some cases, the remedy part for these recalled inflators was, or will be, an inflator using either propellant 2004 or 2004L that does contain a desiccant. None of these "desiccated" remedy parts (which were installed in older model year vehicles) are currently under recall for a degradation concern. Certain subsets of desiccated PSAN inflators using propellant 2004 for use as original equipment, however, have been recalled for a degradation concern. All Takata inflators produced with propellant 2004L contain desiccant, and none of these desiccated inflators using propellant 2004L are under recall for a degradation concern. There have been no reported field ruptures in any non-recalled desiccated PSAN inflators.It is understood that desiccants fully saturate at some threshold, at which point any additional moisture will not be captured. This means the degradation process observed in non-desiccated inflators using propellant 2004 may also occur in non-recalled desiccated inflators using propellant 2004, assuming additional moisture enters the inflator and high temperature cycling occurs. Based on available information, desiccant saturation can occur within the first five years in the worst environments, and the time required for full saturation is affected by multiple factors. While no present safety risk has been identified, further work is needed to evaluate the future risk of non-recalled desiccated inflators using propellant 2004.Three entities -- Takata (now known as TK Global), the Independent Testing Coalition, and Exponent -- have been studying the long-term behavior of Takata desiccated PSAN inflators using propellant 2004L (as well as 2004) in the presence of moisture and temperature cycling. The research efforts, which include development of predictive modeling techniques and field sample analysis, are ongoing. To date, none of the researchers have identified field evidence showing that propellant 2004L is undergoing a degradation process that leads to aggressive deployment and potential rupture. However, the time in service of such inflators remains short compared to that of the inflators using propellant 2004. Further study is needed to assess the long-term safety of desiccated inflators using propellant 2004L.The Office of Defects Investigation is opening this investigation to examine whether a safety defect related to propellant degradation exists in non-recalled desiccated PSAN frontal inflators manufactured by Takata. This investigation will require extensive information on Takata production processes and surveys of inflators in the field. Lists of recall actions that may have used desiccated PSAN inflators as remedy parts, as well as the makes and models originally manufactured with them, is available with the downloadable version of this document (see nhtsa.gov/recalls?nhtsaId=EA21002 -- note this information is subject to change/revision as the investigation proceeds). This investigation does not supersede EA15-001, which remains open.

In a letter dated august 27, 2008, general motors corp. (Gm) notified nhtsa that it will conduct a safety recall (nhtsa recall number 08v-441) to address a safety relateddefect that can result in engine compartment fire in approximately 850,000 vehicles equipped with a heated windshield washer fluid option.the subject vehicles of this investigation comprise over three-quarters of the recall population. According to gm, a short circuit on the printed circuit board for the windshield washer fluid heater module may overheat the control-circuit ground wire. This may cause other electrical features to malfunction, create an odor or cause smoke and in rare cases it may cause a fire.as a remedy, gm dealers will install a wire harness with an in-line fuse. In addition to the subject vehicles, several other gm models with the heated windshield washer fluid option are included in recall 08v-441: my 2006-2008 buick lucerne (manufactured august 2005 through november 2007); my 2008 buick enclave (manufactured february 2007 through april 2007); my 2006-2008 cadillac DTS (manufactured may 2007 through november 2007); my 2007-2008 saturn outlook (manufactured august 2006 through april 2007); and my 2007-2008 GMC acadia (manufactured august 2006 through april 2007) vehicles.gm IS instructing owners to take their vehicle to a dealer for service if they experience symptoms of windshield washer heater module short circuits. Gm's recall resolves the safety defect concerns pursued by this investigation.this engineering analysis IS closed.
