I have been having electrical issues with my dash instruments. Sporadic gauges flickering and warning lights staying on constant. Yesterday having the same issues then the truck would not start. Called OnStar to try and get diagnostic but they needed the vehicle running. Tried battery disconnect and still would not start. After 15min it started but A/C stopped working. Now What???? Should we be notified of the recalls or should we continue just think that its not life threatening and it will be O.K.

Do you drive a 2008 CHEVROLET AVALANCHE?

Just because a car has been recalled does not mean it is not a reliable car. Millions of cars get recalled every year. Recalls often involve problems that are rare but could cause a serious problem if they occur. So the risk to any given driver is often remote, even though there may be a few high-profile incidents traced to the problem.
