Just few minutes ago around 5:45 PM, Monday, September 8th 2025. I started my engine with the remote start in my drive way. After about 30 seconds there was a series of 3 or 4 violent explosions each with a 1 or two second interval. The driver side, passenger side and both side air bags deployed fracturing my windshield and causing other potential internal damage to the passenger compartment. I feel very fortunate that I wasn't seated in the vehicle at the time as I'm sure I could have been severely injured or potentially killed. I had taken the car in for an air-bag recall a couple of years ago at Good Chevrolet in Renton, WA.

There is a short in the wiring (and has been for a long time) for the heater and the radio

2007 Silverado 1500. Has had a situation where truck acts a dead battery or no battery in the truck. Conditions are no start, key fob will remote start truck then truck dies all electrical in truck works. Have dad CD player shoveling cds when no key in truck. Air and heat switch’s back and forth. Door locks cycle up and down. Have to reset radio and clock after the power failed. This is not from a dead battery. All I do to reset it all is to put a battery booster to battery terminals and switch booster on and off. Truck is back to normal. Most recent advent was all this at 1 time. Door locks cycle, radio turns on and off, ac changes to heat, low fuel and seat belt alarms start sounding, instrument cluster act irrationally, speed odometer goes from 20 to60 back and forth with truck cutting off at 20 and powering to 60. After several miles of driving everything is back to normal and I drive straight to my mechanic. Cut the truck off and Bingo, acts like there is not a battery in the truck. Nothing at all electrical. Total silence. I have had minor electrical since truck was almost new. I always carry a booster pack and it worked to start truck and get me home. Now for what my mechanic found after my last disaster. There is a high amperage fuse block located under your fuse box in the engine bay. There is 2 threaded studs for wires that feed your trucks electrical. Studs had never had ant nuts on them to hold the wires secure and after 14 years of total aggravation and fear of an accident or fire. I hope truck is fixed for good. GM dealers would blow me off with any excuse why they couldn’t find a problem. They wanted to sell batteries , Pcms and ecms. The reason this becomes a safety problem is a chance of total power failing while in traffic being rear ended or worse. There really should be a recall for these trucks and checked. I’ve read hundreds of remarks from people with these same issues. I hope this helps. I am thankful to have a mechanic who will research.

I had the Takata airbag on the passenger side replaced as per your warning (NHTSA). My dash board was intact and had no cracks at the time of the repair. After the repair my dash board was completely destroyed. Dealer informed me it was not their responsiblity and caused no safety issues. Now I am concerned that if the airbag is deployed that the dash board will deploy with it, injuring the driver and passenger. THIS VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE and GM knows this.

WHILE DRIVING AND COMING TO A STOP, A LOUD CLUNK NOISE COMES FROM THE REAR END. WITHIN 2-4- SECONDS AFTER STOPPING, IT FEELS LIKE SOMEONE HITS MY TRUCK FROM THE REAR END. YOU CAN ACTUALLY FEEL THE TRUCK MOVE FORWARD, BUT VERY SLIGHTLY. I BOUGHT THIS TRUCK NEW IN 2007, AND TOOK IT BACK TO TWO DIFFERENT DEALERS WITHIN THE FIRST YEAR OF OWNERSHIP. BUT WAS TOLD NOTHING WAS WRONG, AND NOW IT DOES IT EVERYTIME I DRIVE IT. I AM AFRAID THE REAR END WILL LOCK UP AND CAUSED ME TO LOSE CONTROL.

The Active Fuel Management Lifters can cause catastrophic failures by getting stuck in the closed position causing low oil pressure, misfiring, and ticking due to the entire AFM system making the camshaft and valve train wear faster. It is available for inspection upon request. My safety is put at risk due to the possibility of causing accidents or leaving me stranded in an extreme environment. Issues with AFM (Active Fuel Management) systems in certain GM vehicles have been widely reported and confirmed by both dealers and independent service centers. Specifically, AFM lifter failures and related issues, particularly in older models, are common diagnose The vehicle component has not been inspected by anyone. There was a low oil pressure warning light along with lifter tick prior to failure and first appeared at around 160k miles.

Cylinder 6 misfire. The mechanics have replaced everything that could be triggering the cylinder 6 misfire and still it is having problems they said the only way to fix it is to replace the engine but I should not have to replace an engine with low miles and that has been babied. I have also looked on multiple sites with people who own the same truck and all have the same exact problem with the same cylinder. Something needs to be done about this issue especially if it’s a reoccurring one, either have a recall on it and fix it or something.
Aug 21, 2024
The Trucks equipped with DOD system also known as Active Fuel Management in the V6 and the V8 engines cause the truck to consume more oil and cause lack of oil to the lifters which then fail and cause the truck to lose power and smoke really bad and can cause the truck to die while driving and when you love engine power it can cause an accident it's also can cause the more internal engine problems I have reported this issue before for and nothing has happened then problem needs to be fixed is a design flaw and can cause an accident which could also get someone killed along with the bad airbag on passenger side GM needs to take responsibility and fix this issue please for the safety of anyone who drives the the vehicles with the V6 or 5.3l V8 please get this issue recalled.

The contact owns a 2007 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the RPMs increased rapidly; however, the vehicle lost significant motive power, after which the check engine warning light illuminated. The contact was able to pull to the shoulder of the roadway, where the failure persisted. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, who diagnosed a failure with the engine, requiring that the engine be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but did not assist. The failure mileage was 185,000.
Apr 01, 2024
The truck has the 5.3l engine which is DOD equipped and the DOD system causes lifters to fail and can ultimately destroy the engine while driving I had a lifter go bad and it causes the truck to run rough and smoke it's a major issue that happens in the 5.3l v8 engines something needs to be done cause it's causing major problems for any truck equipped with the DOD system.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT IF THE VEHICLE WSA DRIVEN UNDER 10 MPH, THE ABS FUNCTION ACTIVATED AND THE WHEEL SPEED SENSOR FAILED BY NOT DETECTING THE WHEELS TURNING. AS A RESULT, THE VEHICLE MADE A NOISE AND JERKED FORWARD WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT HAD TO APPLY FORCE TO THE BRAKE PEDAL TO STOP THE VEHICLE EACH TIME THE FAILURE OCCURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO CLEANED THE WHEEL SPEED SENSOR. YEARS LATER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. AT A LOW RATE OF SPEED, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS SLOW TO RESPOND AND REQUIRED GREAT FORCE TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED BY AN AUTHORIZED DEALER AGAIN AND, AN HOUR LATER, INDICATED THAT THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO GET THE WHEEL SPEED SENSORS REMOVED TO CLEAN THEM. THE WHEEL SENSORS WERE PLACED BACK ON THE VEHICLE. IF THEY WERE DAMAGED, THE CONTACT WOULD NEED TO REPLACE THE WHEEL SPEED SENSORS, IF THEY WERE DAMAGED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 24,000.

ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS) ACTIVATES WHEN NOT NEEDED DURING LOW SPEED (<10 MPH) STOPPING. THIS SUDDENLY INCREASES STOPPING DISTANCES IN LOW SPEED BRAKING SITUATIONS.

2007 CHEVY SILVERADO EXHAUST MANIFOLD BOLTS SNAPPING. THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD BOLTS ON GM 4.8, 5.3, 6.0 V8'S ARE JUNK AND DEFECTIVE. THEY CORRODE AND SNAP EASILY AND PREMATURELY. MY TRUCK IS A 2007 WITH 84000 MILES WITH AN EXHAUST LEAK CAUSED BY DEFECTIVE BOLTS. BOLTS ARE NOT COVERED UNDER GM POWERTRAIN WARRANTY. *TR
Aug 23, 2011
AROUND THE TIME MY TRUCK HIT THE 42000 MILE MARK THE OIL LOW INDICATOR WARNING ILLUMINATED ON MY INSTRUMENT PANEL. I TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALER SINCE IT WAS WELL UNDER WARRANTY. THE DEALER BEGAN AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST AND THE TRUCK CONTINUED TO GO THROUGH OIL REGULARLY. SOMETIMES JUST HALF A QUART BUT SOMETIMES AS MUCH AS 1 1/2 QUARTS. THE DEALERSHIP DID WORK ON THE ENGINE 6 MONTHS INTO THIS ISSUE BUT THAT DID NOT STOP THE OIL CONSUMPTION. AFTER DEALING WITH THEM FOR OVER 12 MONTHS, AND THE LOW OIL LIGHT COMING ON 2 MORE TIMES, I WAS TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE TRUCK AND ACCORDING TO GM SPECS, CONSUMING 1 QUART OF ENGINE OIL EVERY 2000 MILES, WAS ACCEPTABLE. I CALLED AND COMPLAINED TO THE GM CORPORATE OFFICES BUT WAS TOLD THAT THEY COULD NOT CONTRADICT THE DEALERSHIP SINCE THEY WERE THE ONES MONITORING THE OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUE. I TOLD THEM THAT BY THEIR "SPECS" IF I TOOK MY FAMILY ON A ROAD TRIP FROM CA TO NY AND BACK, I WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE AT LEAST 3 QUARTS, OR HALF THE TOTAL IN THE CRANK CASE, DURING THE TRIP. I KNOW OF NO OTHER AUTOMOBILE MANUFACTURER THAT WOULD FIND THIS ACCEPTABLE. GM SAYS IT IS. IN MY OPINION, THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT GM IS WELL AWARE OF AND FAILING TO ADDRESS, EVEN WHEN AN OWNER HAS FOLLOWED THE RECOMMENDED MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE AND REPORTED THE ISSUE IN A TIMELY FASHION. I WILL NOT OWN ANOTHER GM PRODUCT. THEIR CUSTOMER-NO-SERVICE IS TERRIBLE AND CONTRARY TO THE TELEVISION ADS, THEY DO NOT STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCTS. *TR

2007 CHEVROLET SILVERADO CLASSIC 1500; REDUCED ENGINE POWER COMES ON AND ENGINE SLOWS WAY DOWN NO MATTER WHERE YOU ARE. ALMOST WAS IN BIG WRECK ON INTERSTATE. EVIDENTLY GM DOESNT WANT TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. HAVE READ MANY REPORTS ON INTERNET ABOUT THIS ERROR MESSAGE AND GM'S INABILITY TO FIX IT OR EVEN CLAIM TO FIX IT. THIS IS A VERY BAD SAFETY ISSUE AND SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET KILLED. GM HAS ALREADY SHOWN, BY MANY REPORTS, THAT THEY DO NOT INTEND TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS ENGINE PROBLEM. FROM ALL THE REPORTS THAT I HAVE READ, THE PROBLEM NEVER GETS FIXED. WE JUST KEEP THROWING MONEY AT IT AND WE HAVE TO KEEP COMING BACK. IF THEY DO NOT FIX THIS ISSUE, I WILL BE SUING GM FOR THIS ISSUE AND MAKE SOMEONE TAKE RESPONSIBILITY. IT IS HIGHLY DANGEROUS. *TT

SEAT BELTS
18 complaints
What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? Driver side seat belt tongue an buckle. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? Many drivers will continue long travels home or to a dealer rather than contact a tow truck. A decision that can risk their lives. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? No Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? No Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? No I meet with solid mechanical resistance when I attempt to insert my driver side seat belt tongue into it's buckle. I can not detect any foreign object that would prevent the seat belt from latching. Now I cannot legally drive my vehicle in the state of Illinois without a secure seat belt. I plan to call my local dealer in the morning.

Returning from vacation on Oct.31 when a explosion in the cab like a shotgun occurred with smoke on the side of both front seats. Emergency lights & OnStar activated. Pulled over to side of road to checked out truck and found front seat belts locked but everything else ok. The service air bags light was on prior to incident. Was traveling about 45 MPH on good road. Scared my wife so bad had she been driving could have caused a wreck. Vehicle is scheduled to be looked at by Champion Chevrolet in Reno Nevada on 11/11/2021. Have read that this has happened with other 2007 Chevy Silverado’s and about the same mileage 69,000. Can’t find any recall for the problem but believe it could cause a death under the right conditions like if happened in heavy traffic. It shakes you up for awhile. If this has been reported before why hasn’t a recall been issued? Hope this report helps prevent any serious future incidents.

MY 2007 CREW CAB CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 WAS PURCHASED ON 11/27/06 AND IT HAS APPROXIMATELY 65,000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER AS OF 12/22/10. THE STEERING IS MAKING A CLUNKING NOISE AND JERKS WHEN TURNED TO THE LEFT WHILE MOVING IN FORWARD OR REVERSE. THIS SAME INCIDENT OCCURRED AT AROUND 20,000 MILES IN THE 2004 CHEVROLET SILVERADO THAT I PURCHASED FROM THE SAME DEALER PRIOR TO THE PURCHASE OF THIS 2007 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. AT THE FIRST SIGN OF STEERING FAILURE WITH BOTH VEHICLES, I TOOK THE VEHICLE DIRECTLY TO THE DEALER. THE STEERING MALFUNCTION IN THE 2004 CHEVROLET WAS FIXED FREE OF CHARGE. WHEN I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE (2007 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500) I WAS INFORMED BY THE SAME DEALER THAT I WANTED EXACTLY THE SAME WARRANTY AND WAS TOLD THAT IT HAD BEEN SUPPLIED. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AS I HAD DONE PREVIOUSLY. ON 12/22/10, I WAS INFORMED THAT I WOULD HAVE TO BRING MY TRUCK BACK AT 0830 ON THE MORNING OF 12/23/10 AND THAT I WOULD BE REQUIRED TO PAY A CO-PAY OF $100. I AM CERTAINLY NO MECHANIC, BUT IF THE STEERING IS FAILING, WOULD IT NOT BE A SAFETY HAZARD TO PUT THE DRIVER BACK ON THE ROAD IN THIS VEHICLE? ACCORDING TO THE COMPLAINTS THAT I HAVE READ ON YOUR SITE, THIS IS A RECURRING PROBLEM. FOR ME, THIS IS SECOND CHEVROLET SILVERADO IN WHICH THIS SAME PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED. I DO NOT REMEMBER EXACTLY WHICH PARTS THE DEALER REPLACED IN MY FIRST VEHICLE, BUT THE BEGINNING SYMPTOMS OF THIS STEERING MALFUNCTION ARE THE SAME AS THOSE THAT OCCURRED WITH MY 2004 SILVERADO. WHAT FRUSTRATES ME ABOUT THIS SITUATION IS THAT THE FAILURE SEEMS TO OCCUR QUITE FREQUENTLY IN THE CHEVROLET SILVERADO. SHOULD THEY NOT BE HELD TO SOME STANDARD OF AT LEAST REPLACING POORLY DESIGNED STEERING PARTS AT NO CHARGE? *TR

THERE IS A LARGER CRACK THAT IS OCCURRING ON THE FAR CORNER OF THE DASH WHERE THE PASSENGER AIRBAG IS LOCATED. THIS IS DUE TO THE PLASTIC THAT WAS USED IN THE MANUFACTURING OF THE DASH. UPON AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT, PLASTIC PIECES MAY BREAK OFF AND HARM OCCUPANTS. UPON RESEARCH THIS SEEMS TO BE COMMON ISSUE WITH THESE MODEL OF VEHICLES. *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY 2007 CHEVY SILVERADO 1500 AT ABOUT 40 MPH WHEN I FELT A LARGE BUMP. I LOOKED IN MY REAR VIEW MIRROR AND SAW SOMETHING FLYING IN THE AIR ABOUT 20 FEET OFF THE GROUND BEHIND ME. WHEN I STARTED TO PULL OVER, IT BOUNCED SEVERAL TIMES IN ABOUT 20' HIGH BOUNDS AND STARTED ROLLING AT ME WITH SIGNIFICANT VELOCITY. THAT'S WHEN I REALIZED THAT IT WAS MY SPARE TIRE THAT FELL OFF FROM UNDERNEATH MY TRUCK. I BARELY MOVED OUT OF THE WAY OF THE ROLLING TIRE BEFORE IT HIT ME. IT CONTINUED ROLLING THROUGH A BUSY INTERSECTION NEARLY HITTING THREE CARS AND A PEDESTRIAN. IT BOUNCED OFF A BRICK WALL AND CAME BACK THROUGH THE INTERSECTION AND FINALLY STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE. I RETRIEVED THE TIRE AND FOUND THAT THE ENTIRE HOIST AND TIRE ASSEMBLY IS ONLY SECURED WITH ONE SMALL BOLT. THE BOLT WAS STILL IN THE CHASSIS, BUT THE BRACKET IT WAS HOLDING WAS LITERALLY RIPPED AWAY FROM THE BOLT. I AM AN ENGINEER AND AFTER DOING A FEW ROUGH CALCULATIONS, I FOUND THAT THIS IS A SERIOUS DESIGN FLAW THAT WILL RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURIES OR DEATHS, IF IT HASN'T ALREADY. IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT THE MANUFACTURER CORRECT THIS AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. *TR

I RECENTLY HAD MY TRUCK SERVICED AND THE DEALERSHIP FOUND THAT ONE OF MY TIRES, A GENERAL AMERITRAC P245/70/R17 HAD BELT SEPARATION. I INSISTED THAT THIS IS A DEFECT.

PLASTIC TABS THAT HOLD THE PASSENGER SIDE REAR TAILLIGHT ASSEMBLY IN PLACE BROKE FOR NO APPARENT REASON, ALLOWING THE ENTIRE TAILLIGHT ASSEMBLY TO FALL OUT AND BE DANGLING BY THE WIRES JUST OFF THE PAVEMENT. THIS COULD BE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AT NIGHT. THE TAILLIGHT ASSEMBLY ON THE DRIVERS SIDE HAD A SIMILAR FAILURE TWO WEEKS LATER. IT APPEARS THIS IS A FACTORY DEFECT IN EITHER THE MATERIAL OR HOW THE TIGHT THE PLASTIC CLIPS ARE TORQUED ON, RESULTING IN CRACKING THAT FAILS OVER TIME. THE TRUCK IS JUST OUT OF WARRANTY SO CHEVROLET WILL NOT ADDRESS THE ISSUE. CURRENTLY HELD ON WITH DUCT TAPE AS THAT IS PROBABLY SAFER THAN A REPLACEMENT IF THE DESIGN FLAW HAS NOT BEEN CORRECTED.

IF THE PROPELLANT DEGRADES TO A CERTAIN LEVEL, THE INFLATORS MAY RUPTURE DURING DEPLOYMENT, CAUSING SERIOUS OR FATAL INJURIES. REMEDY: THE NECESSITY OF A REMEDY IS DEPENDENT UPON NHTSA'S DECISION ON GM'S PETITION FOR INCONSEQUENTIALITY. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION WILL BE AVAILABLE FOLLOWING THAT DECISION. IN THE MEANTIME, YOU CAN ALSO CHECK THE STATUS OF THIS RECALL AT MY.GM.COM/RECALLS. GM CONSIDERS YOUR VEHICLE SAFE TO DRIVE. RECALL STATUS: RECALL INCOMPLETE. REMEDY NOT YET AVAILABLE .... 2.

APPROXIMATELY 45 SECONDS TO ONE MINUTE AFTER THE INITIAL DASH AND LIGHT ISSUES THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND A NOTICE OF BATTERY CHARGING FAILURE OCCURRED, WITHIN A FEW SECONDS OF THIS OCCURRENCE I BEGAN TO SLOW DOWN AND PULL OVER. THE ENGINE SHUT OFF BEFORE THIS COULD OCCUR. BY THE TIME I COAXED THE VEHICLE ONTO THE SHOULDER THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM AND DOOR LOCKS WERE NO LONGER WORKING. SMOKE AND FLAMES BEGAN TO ENTER THE COCKPIT AND I IMMEDIATELY EXITED THE VEHICLE. THE INTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE WAS FULLY ENGULFED IN LESS THAN A MINUTE AND THE ENTIRE TRUCK, BED, AND GAS TANK SOON FOLLOWED. THE TRUCK WAS COMPLETELY CONSUMED AND IS NOW A TOTAL LOSS. *TR

FRAME BEAMING ON THE 2007 X TRA CAB CLASSIC TRUCK. GENERAL MOTORS CAMPAIGN #PIT3009J. THE PROBLEM IS SO BAD THAT IT SHAKES THE SEAT SO VIOLENTLY THAT IT IS A HEALTH HAZARD TO DRIVE AROUND. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING MY TRUCK FOR TWO YEARS NOW AS MY DAILY DRIVER. THE FRAME SHAKES SO BAD ON THE FREEWAY THAT IT HAS CAUSED ME BACK STRAINS AND NECK PAIN WHEN DRIVING FOR OVER AN HOUR. I HAVE BEEN TO AMERICAS TIRE MANY TIMES THINKING IT WAS A TIRE PROBLEM THEY HAVE REBALANCED THE TIRES AND EVEN REPLACED THE WHOLE SET WITH ANOTHER BRAND WITH NO IMPROVEMENT. AFTER MY RECENT MRI FROM BACK PAIN I BELIEVE THAT DRIVING THIS TRUCK IS FULLY TO BLAME FOR MY PAIN. TWO YEARS BEFORE I HAD A CLEAN CT SCAN WITH JUST A SLIGHT DISC BULGE, NOW ALL MY DISCS ARE SMASHED KNOWN AS SCHMOR'LS DEPRESSIONS CAUSED FROM THE REPEATED UP AND DOWN BEATING ON MY SPINE FROM DRIVING THIS SILVERADO FOR THE LAST TWO YEARS UP AND DOWN THE CALIFORNIA FREEWAYS. THERE ARE TIMES IT SHAKES SO BAD I FEEL I AM GOING TO LOOSE CONTROL OF THE TRUCK. I WANT GENERAL MOTORS TO KNOW HOW SERIOUS OF A PROBLEM THIS IS, MORE THAN A SHAKE IT IS BEATING PEOPLE LIKE ME TO DEATH AND IS A SERIOUS HEALTH RISK. I FEEL I HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO CONTACT AN ATTORNEY FOR HELP. *TR

LIKE MANY OTHER GM TRUCKS, THE STEEL BRAKE LINE RUSTED AND FAILED. I WAS BACKING BY BOAT ON TO THE RAMP WHEN THE BRAKES FAILED. THE WEIGHT OF THE BOAT AND THE STEEPNESS OF THE RAMP PULLED BY TRUCK IN TO THE BAY. THANK GOD MY FAMILY WAS OUT OF THE VEHICLE. THE NHTSA MUST MANDATE THAT GM FIX ALL SEVERELY CORRODED BRAKE LINES AT EITHER A REDUCED OR NO-CHARGE FEE TO OWNERS. I AM BEING TOLD THAT A LARGE PORTION OF THE $1,200 LABOR FEE WILL BE FOR BENDING OF REPLACEMENT LINES. AT A MINIMUM, GM SHOULD BEAR THE COST OF THE LABOR INVOLVED IN BENDING OF THE LINES AS THEY REFUSE TO PROVIDE PERFORMED LINES TO THEIR DEALERS. IF THE GOVERNMENT (WHICH IS SUPPOSED TO REPRESENT THE CITIZENS) REALLY CARES ABOUT SAFE VEHICLES - AND WE SEE SOME OF THE 'THINGS BEING RECALLED NOWADAYS" - WHY ON EARTH ISN'T GM BEING HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR RECALLING GM TRUCKS WHEN THERE ARE SO MANY EXAMPLES OF BRAKE LINE FAILURES!

2007 CHEVROLET SILVERADO Z71, 18,355 MILES STILL UNDER FACTORY WARRANTY. DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD TODAY AT 45 MPH, A/C ON HIGH SINCE IT WAS 90 DEGREE'S OUT AND OUT OF NO WHERE THE CAB STARTS FILLING UP WITH SMOKE AND A BURNING PLASTIC SMELL COMING FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE VENTS AND FROM UNDER THE DASH ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. I QUICKLY PULLED OVER SHUT THE TRUCK OFF, TOOK THE KEYS OUT OF THE IGNITION, POPPED THE HOOD AND NOTICED THE A/C WAS STILL ON AS I WAS GETTING OUT. I LOOKED UNDER THE HOOD SEEN NOTHING. I WENT TO THE PASSENGER SIDE OPENED THE GLOVE COMPARTMENT AND SMOKE STARTED ROLLING. A PASSER BY STOPPED AND LUCKILY HAD A SOCKET SET SO I ASKED TO USE IT TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY TO GET THE A/C TO SHUT OFF. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT ARRIVED THE SAME TIME THE GENTLEMAN GOT BACK FROM GETTING HIS SOCKET SET OUT OF HIS CAR AND THE FIRE DEPARTMENT DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY FOR ME AS I WAS THROWING MY BELONGINGS OUT OF THE TRUCK IN ATTEMPT TO SAVE THEM FROM A FIRE. THE SMOKE STOPPED WHEN THE BATTERY WAS DISCONNECTED AND THE A/C SHUT OFF. I CONTACTED THE DEALER SINCE THE TRUCK IS STILL UNDER THE FACTORY WARRANTY, THEY TOWED IT IN AND SAID THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM IN 2006-2009 GM FULLSIZE SUV'S & TRUCKS. THE BLOWER MOTORS BURN UP. I ASKED WHY THEY HAVEN'T BEEN RECALLED AND THE SERVICE GUY SAID HE WASN'T SURE. THEY REPLACED THE BLOWER MOTOR, BLOWER RESISTOR AND CONNECTOR. THE OLD PARTS WERE LITERALLY MELTED AND WERE ACTUALLY ON FIRE. IF I WOULD NOT HAVE THOUGHT TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY THE ENTIRE TRUCK WOULD HAVE BEEN BURNED OR SUFFERED SERIOUS WATER DAMAGE FROM THE FIRE DEPARTMENT. THIS COULD BE LIFE THREATENING TO PEOPLE WHO DO NOT KNOW TO UNHOOK THE BATTERY OR PEOPLE WHO PANIC IN SITUATIONS LIKE THIS. I PRAY THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN TO AN ELDERLY PERSON OR ANYONE ELSE FOR THAT MATTER. GM NEEDS TO PUT OUT A RECALL REGARDING THESE ISSUES. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE ON THE WEB AND FOUND HUNDREDS OF THESE SAME EXACT COMPLAINTS. DOES IT TAKE A DEATH BEFORE GM RECALLS THESE PARTS. *TR

VEHICLE HAS DUAL AIR CONDITION (A/C) CONTROLS. THE DRIVER SIDE STARTS BLOWING HOT (HEATER HOT) AIR ALL OF A SUDDEN. THE PASSENGER SIDE IS OKAY, STAYS COLD. EVEN WHEN THE A/C IS TURNED OFF IT STILL BLOWS HOT AIR. EVEN WITH THE WINDOWS OPEN, IT IS STILL HOT AIR COMING OUT OF THE VENTS; LIKE AS IF THE HEATER IS ON. CLOSE THE VENTS BUT STILL BLOWS HOT. HAVE TO STOP A FEW MINUTES AND SOMETHING MUST RESET BECAUSE IT WORKS OKAY FOR A WHILE. SOMETIMES HAVE TO STOP SEVERAL TIMES TO GET HOME OR PULL OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I LIVE AND DRIVE IN SOUTH TEXAS... IT GETS 105 IN THE SHADE... 120 IN A VEHICLE. I DECIDED TO FILE THIS BECAUSE I HAVE READ ON THE INTERNET MANY OTHERS HAVE THIS SAME PROBLEM AND NOW A FRIEND OF MY WIFE'S HAS THE SAME PROBLEM ON HER CHEVROLET. THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO FIX SOMETHING THAT I BELIEVE IS A DESIGN ISSUE. TO BE PROACTIVE AND NOT REACTIVE BEFORE AN ACCIDENT OCCURS. THE HEAT CAUSES SEVERE DISTRACTION. ESPECIALLY IF SOMEONE IN THE VEHICLE IS YOUNG, ELDERLY, ILL ETC. THE DRIVER IS FORCED TO KEEP DRIVING. I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH CHEVROLET ON 3/4/2014.

UPON DRIVING THE ENGINE BEGAN MAKING EXTREME NOISE AND MAJOR LOSS OF POWER. MULTIPLE ENGINE LIGHTS CAME ON AND BACKFIRE THROUGH EXHAUST. CONTACTED CHEVY DEALER AND DROPPED OFF FOR DIAGNOSIS. PROBLEM WAS ACTIVE FUEL MANAGEMENT LIFTER FAILURE. (PLEASE TAKE NOTE THAT THIS ISSUE IS ALL OVER THE INTERNET AND SOCIAL MEDIA) THIS PROBLEM IS HAPPENING TO A HIGH VOLUME OF SILVERADO TRUCK MANUFACTURED AFTER 2007 WITH AFM. CHEVROLET HAS BULLETINS ON THE ISSUE BUT WILL NOT RECALL TO REPLACE ALL AFM LIFTERS. THEY ONLY REPLACE THE LIFTERS THAT FAIL. THIS CAUSES ISSUES LATER WHEN ADDITIONAL LIFTERS FAIL. IF ALL AAFM LIFTERS (8) WOULD BE REPLACED AT THE SAME TIME CONSUMERS WOULDN'T BE COMPLAINING VIA SOCIAL MEDIA AND INTERNET. CHEVROLET ACKNOWLEDGES THE PROBLEM BUT REFUSES TO RECALL. REASON FOR REFUSAL IS IT SEEMS TO HAPPEN AROUND 50,000 MILES AND ABOVE AND AFTER THE REPAIR THEY HOPE THAT THE ISSUE HAPPENS AFTER THE 100,000 MILE WARRANTY WHEN REPAIRS ARE PAID FOR BY CONSUMERS COSTING THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS. I PERSONALLY HAVE READ OF THIS HAPPENING AND HAD IT HAPPEN JUST RECENTLY. GM REFUSES TO BACK THEIR PRODUCT ALTHOUGH THEY RECOGNIZE THE PROBLEM. BULLETINS HAVE BEEN ISSUED BUT I WAS TOLD THAT THE NHTSA MAKES THE CALL AFTER ENOUGH COMPLAINTS ARE FILED BY CONSUMERS. PEOPLE JUST DON'T KNOW THIS AND I AM REQUESTING YOU URGENTLY LOOK INTO THIS ISSUE. CATASTROPHIC ENGINE FAILURE CAN RESULT COSTING CONSUMERS A LOT OF MONEY. WE ARE JUST THE LITTLE GUY UP AGAINST A LARGE AUTOMOBILE MANUFACTURER. WE NEED YOUR ASSISTANCE IN FORCING GM TO ISSUE A RECALL ON THESE VEHICLES WITH THE ACTIVE FUEL MANAGEMENT. OUR HANDS ARE TIED BECAUSE OF THIS. WE REQUEST THAT IF THERE IS A AFM LIFTER FAILURE THAT ALL LIFTERS BE REPLACED INSTEAD OF THE ONES THAT FAILED. THIS IS ONLY LOGICAL ESPECIALLY WHEN GM KNOWS THERE IS A PROBLEM. PLEASE HELP US THE CONSUMER. *TR

2007 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 5.3L ENGINE. AT 40,000 MILES, THE CAMSHAFT AND A COUPLE OF LIFTERS WERE REPLACED DUE TO WEAR AND EVENTUAL TAPPING. AGAIN AT 90,000 MILES, THE CAMSHAFT AND A COUPLE OF LIFTERS (LOBE 4) WERE REPLACED DUE TO LIFTER WEAR AND BREAKAGE CAUSING ENGINE TAPPING. ON THE SECOND OCCURRENCE, AFTER THE LIFTERS HAD STARTED TAPPING (AND 900 MILES FROM HOME) A PIECE OF A LIFTER BROKE OFF AND CAUGHT IN THE OIL PUMP CAUSING IT TO STOP. I QUICKLY TURNED OFF THE ENGINE TO AVOID FURTHER DAMAGE. UPON THIS SECOND OCCURRENCE OF LIFTER FAILURE CAUSING THE CAMSHAFT TO WEAR, I FELT SURE THAT CHEVROLET AND GM WOULD REPLACE THE ENGINE WITH A SHORT BLOCK BUT I WAS EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED. GM AND THE CHEVROLET DEALER ADMITTED THAT A CAMSHAFT SHOULD LAST AS LONG AS THE VEHICLE BUT I AM ON MY 3RD CAMSHAFT IN THIS ENGINE BEFORE THE WARRANTY ENDED. ONE TRIED TO CONVINCE ME THE CAMSHAFT WAS PROBABLY OF A BAD LOT MADE BUT THESE 2 OCCURRENCES WERE TOO FAR APART FOR ME TO BELIEVE THAT A RECALL WOULD NOT HAVE OCCURRED DURING THAT TIME. THE OTHER (GM) TRIED TO CONVINCE ME THAT THE CAMSHAFT WORE OUT THE LIFTER BUT I DON'T BUY THAT EXCUSE EITHER. A NEW SET OF TIRES LASTED LONGER THAN THE ENGINE ON BOTH OCCURRENCES. I BELIEVE THE PROBLEM IS STILL THERE. I STILL HAVE THE DEFECTIVE ENGINE BLOCK IN MY VEHICLE WHICH CAUSES ME TO DOUBT THE ENGINE DEPENDABILITY AND WILL CAUSE A REDUCTION OF THE VALUE OF MY VEHICLE WHEN IT IS TIME TO SELL OR TRADE. *TR

After buying this used truck from GM certified dealership having advanced inspection before we took home 3 months in First start of the day about 7AM, 5-10min into driving, no MIL light, truck engine shut off hard to pull over and I tried to restart but wouldn't start. After waiting an hour for a tow truck I tried once more and it fired up. Cancelled tow drove home fine. But it did it a few more random times while driving until Oct. now it sits. Its scary when theres no MIL indicating a problem, but this is a problem and safety during travel. It wont start after 7 month ownership ,MIL light is now on saying U0100. Bought 4/2021.

This 2007 Chevrolet Silverado has only 73,730 miles . The vehicle in question has an oil consumption issue and is available for inspection upon request. An oil consumption issue will lead to low oil and low oil pressure which can lead to a fire. Problem has been confirmed by an independent service center. Vehicle has been inspected by a certified automotive technician. Vehicle loses oil close to 100 miles and the add engine oil display on the Driver Information Center. Every trip that is close to 100 miles will cause oil consumption and the Add Engine Oil Will display. Vehicle was taken to a repair shop and i was informed that some Chevrolet Silverado Trucks engines will consume oil due to excessive amount of oil going to the pistons. The pistons result with damage to the piston rings and will need to be replaced. In the long run the engine will lose power start to smoke lose oil pressure and low compression which could lead to a fire .No recall was ever posted concerning this issue. I thought the consumption was due to viscosity breakdown until i noticed it got worse. I did some research and asked several silverado owners and they all had the same issue. I confirmed the issue when i took the vehicle to the technician.This vehicle only has 73,730 miles and i am the first owner.

MY ISSUE IS WITH THE OIL PRESSURE IN MY 2007 CHEVY SILVERADO 1500 4X4. THE LOW OIL PRESSURE LIGHT COMES ON AND I CAN HEAR THE LIFTERS TAPPING. I GOT ONLINE AND THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS ON THIS SAME ISSUE. IT APPEARS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH EITHER A DEFECTIVE OIL PUMP OR A SCREEN IN THE OIL PRESSURE SENSOR CLOGGING. THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE RECALLED BECAUSE IT EFFECTS LITERALLY THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE.

WHILE MERGING ONTO THE EXPRESS WAY I HAD A MAJOR LOSS OF POWER AND A SLIGHT SHAKE IN MY SILVERADO. MULTIPLE ENGINE LIGHTS CAME ON (STABILITY TRACK, TRACTION CONTROL, AND BLINKING ENGINE LIGHT). ON MY WAY TO THE NEAREST GM DEALER, AT EVERY STOP LIGHT THE TRUCK LACKED POWER TO GET GOING WHEN THE PEDDLE WAS PUSHED, THEN IT WOULD KICK IN AND SCREECH THE TIRES. AFTER LEAVING THE TRUCK AT THE DEALER, I RECEIVE PHONE CALL FROM THE DEALER THE FOLLOWING DAY STATING THAT THE LIFTER (AFM LIFTER) HAD MALFUNCTIONED AND WAS STUCK. I ASKED WHAT CAUSES THIS (BECAUSE MY TRUCK ONLY HAS ABOUT 39,700 MILES ON IT), AND THE DEALER STATED IT WAS "AN ISSUE WITH THE DESIGN OF THE ENGINE." I THEN RESEARCHED THE INTERNET (GM FORUMS, SOCIAL MEDIA, NHTSA) TO FIND OUT THAT THIS IS A HUGE ISSUE. MANY OWNERS HAD THE BAD LIFTER REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY, ONLY TO HAVE A DIFFERENT LIFTER GO BAD. I DECIDED TO HAVE THE DEALER REPLACE ALL MY LIFTERS, BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT THEY RECOMMENDED AND THEY ADMITTED THERE IS A GOOD CHANCE I WOULD BE BACK IN FOR THE SAME ISSUE ON THE OTHER LIFTERS IF I DIDN'T REPLACE THEM. THE DEALER CONTACTED GM TO SEE IF ANY OF MY REPAIR COULD BE COVERED UNDER THE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY BECAUSE I ONLY HAVE 39,700 MILES ON IT, BUT MY TRUCK WAS 8 YEARS OLD SO THEY SAID THEY WOULDN'T. I CONTACT GM TO SEE IF I COULD DIRECTLY GET ANYTHING COVERED SEEING I ONLY HAD 39,700 MILES, PLUS BOUGHT AN EXTENDED WARRANTY THAT JUST EXPIRED LAST YEAR. I WAS TRANSFERRED THROUGH 5 DIFFERENT REPRESENTATIVES THAT ALL ADMITTED THAT THE LIFTER FAILURE IS "AN ISSUE, BUT NOT A RECALL." IF THEY KNOW ITS AN ISSUE, THE DEALERS KNOW ITS AN ISSUE, ITS A EXTREMELY COMMON ISSUE ALL ACROSS THE INTERNET, WHY WONT GM TAKE CARE OF IT? MY SILVERADO COST OVER $45,000 WHEN NEW, YOU THINK IT SHOULD LAST WELL OVER 100,000 MILES WITH NO ENGINE PROBLEMS. *TR

AFTER THAT ABS LIGHT CAME ON INTERMITTENTLY LOST BRAKES LAST WEEK TO IT TO THE SHOP THEY HAD IT FOR THE DAY EVERYTHING WORKED FINE. CONTINUED DRIVING LIGHT STARTED COMING BACK ON & BRAKES WERE ERRATIC. YESTERDAY WAS PULLING OUT OF PARKING LOT HAD NO BRAKES. IF THESE ARE KNOWN PROBLEMS WHY ISN'T ANYONE TAKING CARE OF IT. WHY YOU WOULD PUT UNTREATED BRAKE LINES ON A VEHICLE IN THE SALT DISTRICTS IS BEYOND ME. I HAD AN 1989 OLDSMOBILE WITH THE ORIGINAL LINE ON IT TIL 198,000 MILES. I ALSO REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION AT 77,000 MILES DUE TO CORROSION OF THE LINES.($2700)

NEWER TRUCK AND ASKED DEALERSHIP IF UNDER WARRANTY OR IF RECALL, INFORMED ME THERE WAS NOT. GOT ON INTERNET AT HOME AND FOUND SEVERAL RECALLS ON 2007 CHEVY SILVERADO'S AND INFORMED DEALERSHIP THROUGH EMAILS, ABOUT RECALLS AND THAT IS WHEN I LEARNT OUR TRUCK WAS MANUFACTURED IN CANADA. CALLED DEALERSHIP WHERE WE PURCHASED THE TRUCK IN TEXAS TO INFORM THEM OF RECALLS AND THEY SAID IT DID NOT APPLY TO OUR TRUCK BECAUSE IT WAS KILOMETERS AND WE HAVE MILEAGE, DO I SOUND LIKE I AM BUBBA? RECALLS ARE FROM TRANSPORT CANADA AND NUMBERS ARE 2011074-EXACT PROBLEM OUR TRUCK IS HAVING; AND 2009291 DEALS WITH AIRBAGS(WHICH I HAVE NOT EVEN ATTEMPTED TO ADDRESS BECAUSE OF THE RUN AROUND I HAVE ALREADY EXPERIENCED. CANADIAN TRUCKS SHOULD NOT BE SOLD IN AMERICA IF RECALLS ARE NOT GOING TO BE HONORED. FIRE POSSIBILITY AND AIRBAG DEPLOYING ARE VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUES.

Power surges sometime everything shuts off while driving leaving no brakes, steering, or acceleration. Other times there is a no start due to no power or the instrument cluster goes haywire.

2007 CHEVROLET SILVERADO PICKUP TRUCKS HAVE A PLASTIC PIECE HOLDING THE TAIL LAMP IN PLACE. THIS IS THE ENTIRE LIGHT ASSEMBLY UNIT ON THE REAR OF THE TRUCK WHICH INCLUDES THE BRAKE LIGHTS, BACKUP LIGHTS, RUNNING LIGHTS, PARKING LIGHTS, EMERGENCY FLASHERS, TURN SIGNAL, WIRING HARNESS ETC., THE ENTIRE REAR LIGHT HOUSING ASSEMBLY. FACTORY WORKERS "OVER" TORQUED THIS PLASTIC PART AT THE FACTORY. DURING NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS, THIS PART BREAKS AND THE ENTIRE TAIL LIGHT FALLS OFF AND DANGLES JUST INCHES ABOVE THE PAVEMENT AS THE ELECTRICAL WIRES ARE STILL ATTACHED TO THE VEHICLE. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION, ESPECIALLY IF THIS HAPPENS AT NIGHT. THIS HAPPENED WITH THE RIGHT TAIL LIGHT AT 20,000 MILES WHICH WAS REPLACED, AND AGAIN WITH THE LEFT TAIL LIGHT AT 46,000 MILES WHICH CHEVROLET REFUSES TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR. THIS IS CERTAINLY A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION WHICH COULD CAUSE INJURY OR DEATH IF ON A BUSY FREEWAY AT NIGHT. BE CAREFUL, AS YOU HAVE NO WAY OF KNOWING THIS WHILE YOU ARE DRIVING. THE ENTIRE TAIL LIGHT, WHEN IT FALLS OUT, IS HANGING AND DANGLING ABOUT JUST INCHES ABOVE THE PAVEMENT. IMAGINE THIS AT 65 M.P.H. ANOTHER DANGEROUS SCENARIO WOULD BE IF THE TAIL LIGHT SHATTERS THIS DEBRIS COULD VERY WELL HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE, MOTORCYCLE OR PEDESTRIAN WHICH COULD RESULT IN INJURY OR DEATH. OR....IF THE WIRE BROKE AND SEPARATED FROM THE LIGHTING ASSEMBLY UNIT, THIS COULD VERY WELL GAIN SPEED FLYING THROUGH THE AIR AND HIT A PERSON, ANOTHER VEHICLE OR BUSINESS/RESIDENCE WINDOW/GLASS. I CANNOT STRESS ENOUGH HOW DANGEROUS THIS IS. CHEVROLET NEEDS TO RECALL EVERY CHEVROLET AND FIX THIS DANGEROUS PROBLEM. IT IS A WELL KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THESE VEHICLES AND CHEVROLET WILL NOT ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY. *TR

I TOOK MY NEW CHEVY TRUCK INTO THE DEALER FOR SOME NEW FACTORY EQUIPMENT (BUG DEFLECTOR AND BED LINER) TO BE INSTALLED BY THEM. WHILE THE DEALER HAD MY 2007 CHEVY TRUCK THEY LOADED 2008 POWER TRAIN SOFTWARE INTO IT'S COMPUTER WITHOUT MY PERMISSION. THE 2008 SOFTWARE CHANGED THE WAY MY TRUCK RUNS. THE POWER TRAIN NOW HAS A SPEED LIMITER ON IT AND THE STABILITY CONTROL WAS CHANGED. IT WILL NOT GO AS FAST IT AS USE TO GO BEFORE THE CHANGE. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER AND GM THEY WOULD NOT PUT MY TRUCK BACK THE WAY IT WAS AS WHEN I BOUGHT IT. THEY TOLD ME THAT THE REASON WAS THE GOODYEAR TIRES AND THE TRUCK DESIGN WERE UNSAFE WITHOUT THE 2008 SOFTWARE INSTALLED AND WOULD NOT CHANGE MY TRUCK BACK TO THE 2007 CONFIGRATION . I HAVE NOT GOTTEN ANY RECALL OR SAFETY NOTICES ABOUT THIS ISSUE. I THINK GM AND THE DEALER MADE A MISTAKE AND DO NOT WANT TO CORRECT IT. IF THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE TIRES (GOODYEAR WRANGLER TIRES) AND THE 2007 TRUCK DESIGN (GM SILVERADO 1500 LTS CREW CAB) GM IS TRYING TO COVER IT UP. THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF 2007 GM TRUCKS, CARS, SUV'S EVEN CADILLAC'S THAT HAVE THE SAME POWER TRAIN IN THEM THAT MY TRUCK HAS AND THEY ARE NOT CHANGING THE COMPUTER PROGRAMS IN ALL THOSE VEHICLES. I WAS TOLD THEY WOULD BE CHANGED ONLY IF THE TRUCKS, SUV'S AND CARS WERE BROUGHT IN FOR ANY KIND OF SERVICE WORK, BUT WOULD NOT BE CHANGED IF NOT SERVICED BY GM. SENSE THERE HAVE BEEN NO RECALL NOTICES ABOUT THESE ISSUES I THINK GM IS TRYING TO COVER SOMETHING UP . THE VERY LEAST TRYING TO COVER UP THEIR DEALERS AND THERE MISTAKE BY ALTERING MY TRUCK WITHOUT MY PERMISSION OR THEY DO HAVE A SERIOUS PROBLEM THAT THE PUBLIC SHOULD BE AWARE OF. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS. THE SAME TIRES ARE ON FORDS AND DODGES AND THEY DON'T SOFTWARE LIMIT THERE PERFORMANCE. I PAID TOP DOLLAR FOR GM'S BEST TRUCK WITH THE BIGGEST ENGINE MADE FOR IT, I COULD HAVE SAVED A LOT OF MONEY BY BUYING A SIX CYLINDER ENGINE INSTEAD OF THE BIG V-8.

THE CONTACT CALLED THE MANUFACTURER AND THE DEALER. THE BELT WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY, BUT THEY SAID THAT THERE WAS NO CHANGE THAT COULD BE MADE TO THE TRUCK TO PREVENT THIS PROBLEM FROM RECURRING. *AK THE CONSUMER DISCOVERED THE SERPENTINE BELT HAD BEEN PULLED FROM THE ENGINE BY A SMALL STICK. THE CONSUMER DISCOVERED THAT THEN ENGINE SITS 10 INCHES BACK WHICH ALLOWS ROAD DEBRIS TO ENTER. UPDATED 02/22/07. *JB

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET 1500. THE VEHICLE HAS AMERICAN AMTRAK TIRES (NA). THE BRAKES ON THE VEHICLE WERE CHANGED, BUT HAVE BEEN FAILING EVER SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED. THE FIRST FAILURE OCCURRED AT 9,000 MILES, THE SECOND AT 16,000 MILES, AND THE THIRD AT 30,000 MILES. THE BRAKES CURRENTLY NEED TO BE REPLACED FOR THE FOURTH TIME. THE ROTORS WERE TURNED, BUT CONTINUE TO MAKE A SQUEALING NOISE. WHEN THE CONTACT DRIVES THROUGH WATER, THE DEALER STATED THAT WATER EATS AWAY AT THE ROTORS AND THEY BECOME CRYSTALLIZED AND CRACK. HE DOES NOT DRIVE THROUGH WATER THAT MUCH. THE TIRES THAT CAME WITH THE VEHICLE WERE RATED AT 25,000, BUT HAVE BEEN CHANGED FOUR DIFFERENT TIMES. THIS LAST TIME HE PURCHASED MICHELIN TIRES THERE WERE NO FAILURES. HE CALLED THE MANUFACTURER AND THEY STATED THAT THEY WOULD CALL HIM BACK. THREE DAYS HAVE PASSED AND THE CONTACT HAS NOT RECEIVED A CALL. THE DOT NUMBER AND TIRE SIZE WERE UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 9,000. UPDATED 05/05/09. LJ

2007 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 5.3L V-8 ENGINE WITH ACTIVE FUEL MANAGEMENT AND THROTTLE BY WIRE. VEHICLE WILL NOT IDLE DOWN PROPERLY OR SLOW DOWN PROPERLY OR TIMELY. I BELIEVE 2 POSSIBLE CAUSES, ACTIVE FUEL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM TRYING TO MAINTAIN "SAIL SPEED" IN A FUEL SAVING MODE AND/OR THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR DOES NOT KNOW WHERE THE DRIVERS FOOT IS. VEHICLE PERFORMS LIKE THE CRUISE CONTROL IS ON AT ALL TIMES, WILL ULTIMATELY SLOW DOWN AFTER EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF TIME. LOW SPEED OPERATION IS ESPECIALLY PROBLEMATIC BRAKES ARE CRITICAL IN CONTROLLING ENGINE SPEED AND OBVIOUSLY VEHICLE SPEED. WITH FOOT OFF ACCELERATOR VEHICLE WILL MAINTAIN 10 MPH SPEED IN PARKING LOT, WILL TRAVEL UP HILL FOR APROX. 30 TO 50 FEET BEFORE BEGINNING TO DECELERATE. THROTTLE RESPONSE IS EXTREMELY DELAYED AND TRANSMISSION SHIFT POINTS ARE CONFUSED AT TIMES. AT TIMES I PLACE VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL GOING DOWN HILL TO GET ENGINE OUT OF SUSTAINED V-4 FUEL SAVING MODE SO I CAN BETTER CONTROL DOWNHILL SPEED. DEALER CONTACTED AND VEHICLE INSPECTED, I WAS INFORMED THAT IS THE WAY THE SYSTEM OPERATES AND CAN NOT BE ADJUSTED. ALSO TOLD THAT CALIFORNIA EMISSIONS STANDARDS PROHIBIT COMPLETE ENGINE IDLE DOWN BECAUSE SUDDEN IDLE DOWN WILL GENERATE UNBURNED FUEL. I WAS TOLD THAT THE MAINTAINED SPEED WAS THE "SAIL SPEED" AND THAT WAS JUST THE WAY IT IS DESIGNED TO OPERATE. VEHICLE PERFORMANCE IS NOT CONFIDENT OR PRECISE, DRIVER MUST BE CONSTANTLY AWARE OF UNINTENTIONAL ACCELERATION VIA SUSTAINED SPEED AND LACK OF DECELERATION WHEN WANTED. *JB

The Keyless Entry Receiver(GM) Radio Module in my 2007 Chevy Silverado is retaining moisture. It caused my Tire Pressure Monitoring System to fail eventually causing a blow out on the highway. I believe moisture from the third headlight above rear window is allowing moisture to drip into the Keyless Entry Receiver. There are many accounts of this failing, I’m not sure why this has not been recalled. I nearly died.

NOW IT INTERMITTENTLY PULLS HARD WHEN ACCELERATING AT ANY SPEED. THIS CANNOT BE SAFE. DEALERSHIPS CANNOT FIGURE OUT THE ISSUE AND I AM HAVING TROUBLE GOOGLING ANY SPECIFIC REASON. MANY PEOPLE HAVE THIS SAME ISSUE WITH LITTLE TO RESOLUTION. THIS IS INTERMITTENTLY SO IT THE STABILITRAC AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS COME ON AND OFF WITHIN MINUTES. IT WAS HAPPENING A FEW TIMES A WEEKS AND NOW IT IS HAPPENING A FEW TIMES A DAY. THIS CANNOT BE GOOD FOR THE SAFETY OF THE VEHICLE ON THE ROAD OR THE PEOPLE IN IT.

A FEW DAYS BEFORE THE INCIDENT MY LEFT FRONT BRAKES WERE MAKING A SLIGHT SQUEALING SOUND WHEN GOING STRAIGHT. IN A TURN OR WHEN THE BRAKE WAS APPLIED IT WOULD GO AWAY. VERY MINOR. THEN WHEN TRAVELING ON THE INTERSTATE AT 55 MPH I GOT A SEVERE SHUTTER IN THE STEERING WHEEL AND THE LEFT WHEEL WAS SHAKING LIKE CRAZY. I HIT THE BRAKES AND THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. AFTER I DOWNSHIFTED I GOT IT STOPPED ON A HILL. HAD IT TOWED HOME. THE LEFT WHEEL BEARING HAD MELTED!! THE WHEEL WAS LITERALLY HANGING ON AS THE DRIVESHAFT U JOINT CAME APART. THE FRONT HALF OF THE DRIVESHAFT WAS BENT AND THE BRAKES WERE SHOT. TURNS OUT THE (SEALED) HUB WAS RUSTED SO BAD IT FROZE UP. THEN IT FELL APART ON THE ROAD. LUCKILY I GOT IT STOPPED WITH WRECKING. CHEVY WANTED OVER $2200 TO FIX IT. I DID IT MYSELF FOR $330 FROM NAPA AFTER WATCHING YOUTUBE ON HOW TO DO IT. IT WAS EASY AS PIE! *TR

THE EVENING OF MARCH 10 2013 AROUND 1700 HOUR MY BROTHER A SINGLE MAN, WAS FATALLY KILLED IN HIS 2007 CHEVROLET SILVERADO K1500 PICK-UP TRUCK, APPROXIMATELY 1 MILE FROM HIS HOME ON A PAVED COUNTRY ROAD. HE WAS PR0NOUNCE DEAD @ 1730 HOUR. THE CAUSE OF THE ACCIDENT HAS NOT BEEN DETERMINED, YET THE REPORT WILL SHOW THAT HE WAS TRAVELING ON A DOWN HILL SLOPE WHERE HE SWERVED OFF THE PAVEMENT TO THE RIGHT AND THEN OVER CORRECTED BACK ON TO AND CROSSED THE PAVEMENT ON THE LEFT AND THEN BACK ACROSS THE HI WAY ON THE RIGHT IMPACTING A BRIDGE EMBANKMENT OVER TURNING OVER HITTING A TREE, RESTING RIGHT SIDE UP. HIS AIR BAG NEVER DEPLOYED. WE WERE TOLD THERE WAS NOT ANY THING WRONG WITH THE AIRBAGS MECHANISM, FURTHER THAT THE CRASH WAS NOT HEAD ON. THIS VEHICLE IS TOTALLY DESTROYED. I HAVE IT IN STORAGE FOR ANY ONE INSPECTION. MY BROTHER WAS NOT EJECTED FROM THE VEHICLE, I DO BELIEVE, SHOULD THE BAGS HAD DEPLOYED, MY BROTHER WOULD BE ALIVE TODAY. ALSO, FURTHER HIS STEERING FROM ONE SIDE TO THE OTHER INDICATED HE HAD NO POWER STEERING AND FINALLY, THE SKID MARKS ON THE GRAVEL EDGE AND NOT ON THE PAVEMENT, GIVE AN INDICATION, THERE WERE NO POWER ASSISTED BREAKING ALL ADD UP TO THE FACT THE VEHICLE LOST ITS ELECTRIC POWER BY THE KEY SWITCH ACCIDENTLY SHUTTING THE ENGINE OFF. *JS

IT HAS BEEN REPLACED ONCE AND GREASED ONCE AT BUTCH OSTELETE IN PASCAGOULA, MS. I CALLED ABOUT REPAIR BUT THE PERSON ON THE PHONE SAID THEY WOULD HAVE TO CHARGE ME TO REPAIR IT. THE PROBLEM IS YOU HAVE TO STICK YOUR FINGER IN THE LOCK PIN AND SLIDE IT UPWARD TO MAKE IT ENGAGE WHEN THE TAILGATE IS CLOSED. THIS HAS BEEN ON GOING SINCE I HAVE ON THE VEHICLE. IT IS A DEFECT THAT COULD CAUSE SOMEONE (LIKE ME) TO INJURE THEIR FINGER IN THE LOCK OR JOLT A PERSONS WRIST AND ELBOWS (LIKE ME) AND CAUSE HARM. THIS DEFECT NEEDS TO BE CALLED TO GM ATTENTION AND HAVE THESE ISSUES REPAIRED.

I HAD A SERVICE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT T ON IN MY 2007 CHEVROLET SILVERADO PICK UP TRUCK. I WENT TO A DEALER TO HAVE IT SERVICED.AND WAS TOLD THAT THE RIGHT FRONT IMPACT SENSOR WAS CORRODED AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. I FELT THAT THIS BEING A SAFETY ISSUE THAT GENERAL MOTORS SHOULD COVER THE COST OF REPAIR. I CALLED G.M. AND WAS TOLD THAT THIS WAS AN ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUE AND THE SALT AIR IN MY AREA CAUSED THE CORROSION AND G.M WAS NOT RESPONSIBLE. I TOLD THE PERSON THAT I WAS TALKING TO THAT APPARENTLY G.M. M,UST BE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM IF THEY KNOW THAT THE SALT AIR CORRODES THE SENSORS. FURTHERMORE I MENTIONED THE FACT THAT SINCE THERE IS A PROBLEM THAT THE AIR BAG COULD POSSIBLE INFLATE WHILE DRIVING AND POSSIBLY CAUSE THE DRIVER TO SWERVE OFF THE ROAD OR INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE THUS CAUSING DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY. I WAS THEN GIVEN A FILE NUMBER (71-1127296694) AND TOLD THE MATTER WOULD BE INVESTIGATED. I LATER RECEIVED A PHONE CALL FROM A G.M. REP. WHO SAID HE LOOKED INTO MY COMPLAINT AND SINCE IT WAS AN ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUE G.M. WAS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR REPAIRS. I THEN STATED TO HIM THAT I WAS AWARE THAT CHRYSLER RECENTLY HAD A RECALL OF VEHICLES TO BE REPAIRED BECAUSE THE AIRBAG SENSORS WERE CORRODING. I WAS TOLD THAT G.M. HAD NO SUCH RECALL. MY ARGUMENT IS THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. THE CORRODED SENSORS COULD MALFUNCTION AND CAUSE THE AIR BAGS TO DEPLOY THUS CAUSING THE DRIVER TO SWERVE AND POTENTIALLY GET INTO A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. CHRYSLER CORP. MUST HAVE REALIZED THIS BECAUSE THEY HAD A RECALL. G.M.DOES NOT SEEM TO CARE AND IS APPARENTLY WAITING UNTIL THERE ARE SERIOUS ACCIDENTS AND THEY ARE FORCED TO RECALL VEHICLES.I ALSO WONDER IF G.M. AND CHRYSLER USE THE SAME VENDOR TO PURCHASE THE SENSORS. MOST LIKELY THEY DO AS THERE ARE PROBABLY NOT MANY COMPANY'S THAT MANUFACTURE THEM. I FEEL THIS IS POTENTIALLY SERIOUS SITUATION PLUS THE FACT THAT ANOTHER AUTOMOBILE MANUFACTURER RECOGNIZED THE PROBLEM PERHAPS YOUR AGENCY SHOULD INVESTIGATE. *TR

THE CONSUMER CALLED ONSTAR TO TELL THEM THAT THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT. THE OPERATOR ASKED THE CONSUMER WERE THERE ANY LIGHTS ON THE DASH. THE CONSUMER STATED THE AIR BAG LIGHT WAS ON. THE OPERATOR ATTEMPTED TO INSTRUCT THE CONSUMER ON HOW TO RESET THE LIGHT, AND STATED IF IT DIDN'T CLEAR WITHIN TWO DAYS TO CALL BACK. WHEN THE CONSUMER PUT THE GEAR INTO DRIVE AND STARTED TO GO FORWARD, THERE WAS A TREMENDOUS EXPLOSION, DUST FILLED THE TRUCK AND ONSTAR CAME ON SAYING THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT. THEY VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. A WEEK LATER, THE CONSUMER RECEIVED A CALL FROM THE DEALERSHIP STATING THE EXPLOSION WAS CAUSED BY A POOR DESIGN IN THE GALLEYS IN THE FLOOR, THEY WENT FROM THE CENTER OF THE TRUCK TO THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR UNDER A RUBBER MATE. ONE OF THE GALLEYS WENT THROUGH A RUBBER GROMMET WHICH ALLOWED WATER TO LEAK INTO A COMPARTMENT STORING VERY HIGH PRESSURE COMPACT CYLINDERS FOR THE AIR BAG AND SEAT BELTS. THE WATER CAUSED CORROSION ON THE HIGH PRESSURE CYLINDERS AND CAUSED THE EXPLOSION. ALSO, THE TAILGATE LATCH WOULD NOT LATCH PROPERLY. THE DEALER FOUND THE PIVOTS HAD SEIZED. ON COLD STARTS, THE TRANSMISSION WOULD HESITATE AND THEN A LOUD BANG WAS HEARD. THE DEALER FOUND A VALVE BODY BOLT BROKEN. *JB

MY SON WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY IN TEXAS WHEN THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN AND THE CAR STOPPED RUNNING. HE LOST ALL POWER STEERING AND COULD BARELY GET OFF THE ROAD IN TIME. THE CAR HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE NEAREST TOWN IN GAINESVILLE. THE DIAGNOSIS WAS THE SENDING UNIT FAILED AND IN TURN CAUSED DAMAGE TO THE FUEL PUMP THAT MADE IT INOPERABLE. MY CONCERN IS THAT THERE WAS NO WARNING LIGHT OR ANY KIND OF INDICATION THAT THIS PROBLEM WAS ABOUT TO OCCUR. THERE WAS NO WAY TO PREVENT THIS. THE FUEL LEVEL READ THAT THERE SHOULD HAVE BEEN 1/4 TO 1/2 TANK OF GAS BUT THE MECHANIC MEASURED 1/8 - 1/4. I'M NOT SURE IF THE GAS LEVEL ATTRIBUTED TO THE SHUT DOWN OR NOT. THAT IS SOMETHING THAT I'M SURE WILL BE FACTORED IN TO YOUR INVESTIGATION. I FEEL LIKE THIS WAS A DEFINITE OPPORTUNITY FOR ME TO SPEAK UP AND TAKE ACTION. MY SON WAS SPARED FROM INJURY OR DEATH AND THERE NEEDS TO BE A SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM TO AVOID THESE IRREVERSIBLE CONSEQUENCES. WHETHER IT BE AN INDICATOR LIGHT OR BETTER YET REDESIGN OF THE SYSTEMS SO THAT THEY CANNOT SHUT DOWN THE CAR AUTOMATICALLY. REMEMBER HE WAS DRIVING 60 MILES AND HOUR ON AN EXTREMELY BUSY HIGHWAY, THE OUTCOME COULD HAVE EASILY BEEN VERY GRIM, ESPECIALLY HAD IT OCCURRED AT NIGHT. I MAY HAVE BEEN PLANNING A FUNERAL INSTEAD NOTIFYING PEOPLE HOW TO AVOID ONE. PLEASE TAKE THIS AS SERIOUSLY AS I HAVE AND TAKE ACTION TO ELIMINATE THE POTENTIAL DAMAGING EFFECTS OF THIS TYPE OF FAILURE. I HAVE DOCUMENTATION OF SHOP RECORDS ETC.

IT HAD NOT BEEN 2 HOURS THAT WE DROVE THE VEHICLE. IT WAS PARKED AND THE IGNITION OFF WHEN THIS FIRE STARTED. MY DRIVER AND PASSENGER DOOR MUST HAVE UNLOCKED AND THE BACK DRIVER AND PASSENGER DOORS STAYED LOCKED BECAUSE WHEN THE FIRE DEPARTMENT PUT OUT FIRE THE DOORS WERE THAT WAY. I HAVE A 6 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER THAT RIDES IN THE BACK SEAT. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT SAID THE FIRE STARTED DRIVERS SIDE/ENGINE. THIS IS A VERY TERRIFYING TIME. I'M SCARED TO EVEN PURCHASE A TRUCK ANYMORE. WE COULD HAVE BEEN IN THE VEHICLE, MY HUSBAND AND I PLUS OUR DAUGHTER. I USED TO DRIVE MY TRUCK WITH THE THOUGHT THAT I WAS SAFE IN IT FOR THE SIZE OF IT AND THAT IT WAS A CHEVY, BUT NOW I CAN'T EVEN HAVE THAT THOUGHT CROSS MY MIND. YOUR NOT SAFE ANYWHERE, NOT EVEN IN YOUR VEHICLE BECAUSE NOT ONLY IF THERE IS A CAR WRECK, A DRUNL DRIVER HITS YOU, SOMEONE FAILED TO STOP AT A STOP SIGN AND HIT YOU, NOW IF YOUR IGNITION IS IN THE OFF POSITION YOUR TRUCK CAN CATCH ON FIRE, AT YOUR RESIDENCE, PARKED IN A GARAGE, PARKED BESIDE OTHER VEHICLES, AND WHO KNOWS THE FIRE COULD HAVE STARTED AS I AND MY FAMILY WERE IN IT TOO.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THE DIGITAL SCREEN MODULE DISPLAYED A MALFUNCTION MESSAGE AND THE STEERING AND BRAKES LOCKED FOR APPROXIMATELY 5 SECONDS. THE CONTACT LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THE ENGINE WAS STILL RUNNING AND THE CONTACT PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. HE CALLED THE DEALER AND WAS ADVISED NOT TO TURN OFF THE VEHICLE, BUT INSTEAD DRIVE DIRECTLY TO THE DEALER. THE WEATHER WAS NOT A FACTOR. AFTER NUMEROUS VISITS TO THE DEALER, THEY STATED THAT THE HYBRID BATTERY AND ENGINE FAILED. THE HYBRID CONTROL MODULE WAS REPLACED AND THE DEALER REPAIRED THE HYBRID OPEN FUSE MODULE. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 23,500 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 345.
