Dashboard cracked in multiple locations, without any major accident/no airbag deployment. I am concerned dash is so brittle any airbag deployment will cause the dashboard to separate into pieces and become shrapnel. I'm the original owner of the vehicle. The first crack started approximately in Nov 2011 and now has gotten worse over time.
Dash cracked had to replace rack and pinion, now the steering angle position sensor is not working causing the stabilitrak and traction control to show a code..

After washing my 2007 Avalanche the seatbelt on the passenger side exploded and my brakes started to fluctuate and make a spring noise. This all happened as I drove away from the car wash.
The GM website has shown a "remedy not yet available" on an issue that's existed for nearly 5 years. This is unacceptable. Even their own website states that they're "working quickly" to finalize the repair options. The airbags are dangerous and must be replaced, as other major manufacturers (like Ford) are doing.

Service air bag showed up on my instrument cluster. The code reader shows code B0020-0D, passenger instrument panel air bag deployment loop stage 2 short to battery. The warning has been intermittent for years and then here recently the warning became a steady illumination. When this issue first started it didn't matter if I was moving or or stationary. Now the warning does not go off. I am not 100% positive if the takata recall is what is affecting my air bag but according to the recall it is the passenger side front air bag. Currently my vehicle falls under manufacturer recall number 2049151 and NHTSA recall number 16V381. The recall is currently incomplete, and a remedy is not yet available. I live in Texas so as the the ambient temperature increased the air bag issue became worse.
