CHEVROLET AVALANCHE 1500 2008 car safety problem was reported on Nov 11, 2008.CHEVROLET AVALANCHE 1500 2008, manufactured by GENERAL MOTORS LLC had a problem with VISIBILITY . THE WINDSHIELD DEFROST SYSTEM IS INOPERATIVE/INEFFECTIVE ON THE RIGHT SIDE. I HAVE ACQUAINTANCES THAT HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT HAS BEEN ADMITTED TO BY GM. THEIR STATEMENTS, THAT THE SYSTEM IS NORMAL BECAUSE THE OTHER VEHICLES WE CHECKED WERE THE SAME WAY, SAYS IT ALL. WE HAVE BEEN PLACING A BOOK OVER THE LEFT HAND SIDE OF THE DEFROST EXIT TO HELP CLEAR THE WINDSHIELD. THE AVALANCHE IS A VEHICLE FRAUGHT WITH BLIND SPOTS, SO BEING ABLE TO CLEAR THE RIGHT HALF OF THE WINSHIELD IS MOST IMPORTANT. THE INSTRUCTION I HAVE RECEIVED THROUGH GM, IS THAT, IF I HAVE AN ACCIDENT DUE TO THIS PROBLEM, THEY HAVE A DEPARTMENT TO HANDLE IT. I FEEL I HAVE BEEN MORE THAT PATIENT REGARDING THIS MATTER. I HAVE NOT ASKED FOR ANTHING MORE THAN WHAT I SHOULD EXPECT FROM A $50K, OR A $5K VEHICLE, SAFETY!

IT IS WELL KNOWN THAT CHEVROLET/GM HAS A MAJOR QUALITY PROBLEM WITH POWERDOOR LOCKS THAT HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR MANY YEARS. ONE ONLY NEED TO GOOGLE CHEVY DOOR LOCKS TO GET AN IDEA OF THE MAGNITUDE OF THE PROBLEM. (SEE HTTP://TOWNHALL-TALK.EDMUNDS.COM/DIRECT/VIEW/.F206D4B AS AN EXAMPLE). AS A FREQUENT TRANSPORTER OF SMALL CHILDREN IT IS HARD FOR ME TO UNDERSTAND WHY THE NHTSA DOES NOT CONSIDER THIS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. DOORS LOCK OR UNLOCK WITHOUT WARNING LEAVING SMALL CHILDREN IN THE BACK OF THESE VEHICLES EITHER EXPOSED TO RISKS OF INADVERTENT OPENING DOORS OR BEING LOCKED INTO VEHICLES AT THE TIME OF POTENTIAL ACCIDENTS WHERE THERE IS NO EASY OR SAFE WAY TO OPEN THE DOORS FROM INSIDE OR OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE.
