Recently reported STRUCTURE problems on 2009 Chevrolet Avalanche 1500

Cracks in dash cover around air bag and over instrument cluster. no hard road hits, no junk on the dash. heard a rattle, looked up there and found the cracks. thousands of incidents across internet. seat tracks rough sliding and motor failure. outside mirror motor failure. i am the only driver and dont move seats much. lack of use kills motors? rear window leaking water due to plastic frame shrinking, cracking and leaving a gap. only took the window out once before finding it leaking 2 years later due to the plastic frame shrink and crack. door handles paint falling off in flakes. fronts replaced by dealer at 17k. 38k rear handles started doing it. dealers unwilling to do anything after 36k. 78k on truck now, making last 575.00 payment this month and truck needs thousands in repairs. i would have thought buying a 45k truck and using it as a family traveler it would be the last one i would have to buy since it is well cared for. these trucks are now know for problems and less appealing. selling it isn't easy because of these continual issues gm failed to address. the truck was discontinued in 2013 most likely due to mfg defects and complaint ratios. all gm trucks have these issues from 07 through 2013.

Multiple cracks in dashboard deck around airbag compartment as well as instrument cluster. well maintained and taken care of; literally appeared one day and have spread and gotten worse. *tr

Got in to my car that morning and heard a rattling noise coming from my dash and came to find out my dash was cracked. i do nothing but highway driving so there were no extenuating circumstances to cause it. i take great care of my vehicles and have never had this happen before. i researched the problem and have come to find out that it is a chevy issue that is not being disclosed or are they taking responsibility there are a number of websites with chevy truck owners who have the same problem. i believe this needs to be addressed by your organization on the behalf of the thousands of chevy truck owners who need the issue rectified . *js
