This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
My dashboard cracked like many others have done. Driving down the road it just started cracking and a week later it had created a large crack over the instrument panel about 9 inches in length
The dashboard has developed two very significant cracks one concerns me because it is located where the passenger airbag deploys. The crack has left a very sharp edge next to the air bag and I am concerned if the bag deploys this edge could cut the airbag.
The dashboard cracked over the instrument panel and over the passenger side airbag. This is the second Avalanche that I have owned that cracked in the same location; previous year was a 2007.
My dash is cracking around the airbag. I am worried about this affecting the operation of the airbags and possibly causing them to prematurely inflate.
Dashboard on a 2012 Chevrolet Avalanche ltz cracked in the area of the passenger airbag. Concerned that this defect may cause shrapnel in the event of an airbag deployment.
