The 2007 Chevy Avalanche dash board shakes vigorously and cracking apart especially near the airbag and steering column. Chevy should issue a recall to fix the the dash board and stabilize the dashboard supports.
The sunroof glass broke broke away while I was in the interstate going 70 miles a hour. It was so scary. Thank God there wasn't anyone behind me at the time. This could have went thru a cars windshield behind me and killed them. They need to build these better or be illegal in the US. I am putting a claim in with my insurance co. I don't know if it's covered. The garage that will be repairing mine said he gets many calls of this happening. Even though it's may not be a vehicle defect like breaks but it surly is a hazard issue. Even the insurance girl I was talking to said one almost hit her. She was lucky she was going up on the side of the vehicle that lost it and not behind it. This has not been a recall and something should be done about sunroofs. Extra brackets to hold them in maybe should be applied on any vehicle with a sunroof. I'm telling you it scared me to death when it broke. My heart was pounding and it could of caused me to panic and get in an accident. I had to drive with one hand holding my inside sliding cover. And if it had been pouring rain I would of had water pouring in and that would be an electrical issue. Please don't let this issue continue. Please have every vehicle with a sunroof recalled and have extra brackets added. Can you imagine if you was driving on the highway and a sunroof came flying at you. It would be worse than the ice on vehicles that is illegal. Never did I ever expect this to happen. I would pray this would come under highway safety. They are so dangerous. I will never purchase another vehicle with one again. I am waiting on the insurance co.

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 is cracking in multiple places. This would be a hazard if a accident was to happen and the air bags deploy plastic shards would be shot towards any occupants in the vehicle. Also due to the poor construction of the product pieces of the dash are not locked into place like designed because of the dash cracking in spots that are designed for trim pieces to clip in.

I drove to work & parked my 2007 Avalanche in my employers truck garage as I do every day. I went into the office attended a job briefing & we put on our coveralls for work then we got ready to leave to go to the 1st jobsite but as soon as the 1st two coworkers walked out of the shop they turned around yelling that my truck was on fire. I didn't believe them at 1st because I had just parked like 15 minutes prior. Parked & not running. Well I looked and my whole engine compartment was full of flames. We used 4 fire extinguishers to put the fire out & the fire department arrived to finish. My vehicle was totalled & I only had liability insurance.
