Description of the problem | I purchased my 2013 chevy avalanche less than a year ago. Based on the carfax report, i know it came from sunny/hot florida before i purchased it from a dealer in pa. Over this past winter however, we had an extreme cold spell (single digit temperatures for a couple weeks back to back). During this cold spell, my commute to work has me go over a couple sets of rain road tracks, and when i went over the tracks, a small crack up by the speaker became a huge crack almost overnight. Its continued to just further rip and rip at that hard plastic casing so that now my crack extends from the front dash vents to that speaker cover, and then from the other side of the speaker cover up towards the windshield. It rattles/vibrates terribly just going down the road, and when i go over the train tracks, it separates and have to 'pop it' back into place each time. Very upsetting on what was my 2013 black diamond edition 'dream truck'. :( |
