Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The dashboard has cracked in two different places near the airbags. I see online this is very common and Chevrolet doesn't seem to be very receptive to fixing this safety concern. I believe the cracks just happened overnight since I noticed them first thing in the morning on my way to work.”
NHTSA complaint #10862107, filed 2016-04, 54,000 miles“My dealer worked on my AC components in 2015 (not sure of the exact date) to replace the AC controller components, shortly after the repair my dash cracked while sitting in my driveway about to crank the vehicle. On the driver side over the last 3 years it has continued to increase in size and now is cracked completely causing the dash to be two separate pieces. Safety issues and concerns are if a crash occurs will the occupants of the vehicle be safe of sharp flying debris within the cab. My concern is not only for myself but my passengers. …”
NHTSA complaint #11173023, filed 2019-01, 75,000 miles“I have 2 cracks in the dashboard of my 2013 avalanche that seemingly appeared overnight. Much like the other complaints I've seen on this site, one crack is at the top corner of the passenger air bag and the other is on the driver side. I've been in contact with GM and they've offered to split the repair with me but my research indicates this might be a more wide spread issue. Opening this issue to hopefully bring more awareness to the situation. Vehicle has been either kept in a garage or had a thick window visor in the front window since I bought it new.”
NHTSA complaint #10999995, filed 2017-06, 72,500 miles“The window trim on the rear window has a known defect. The plastic frame of the window cracks and separates allowing water to enter the cab. Gm is aware of the defect but is unwilling to replace what is clearly a design flaw.”
NHTSA complaint #10853263, filed 2016-04, 30,000 miles“Leaking roof glass window seal. Had repaired 2 times still leaking, dealer said it can't be fixed and that there is a catch trim to send water to bottom of door. Concerned about rust around glass frame and water damage.”
