1007 Complaints
The contact owns a 2007 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated that the service air bag warning light was illuminated. The contact stated that while reversing out of his driveway he detected an abnormal noise. While the passenger was entering the vehicle, he was unable to utilize the seat belt. The contact noticed that the seat belts had retracted and indented the seat. The local dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The contact mentioned that the vehicle was taken to the local dealer in May and was repaired under NHTSA Campaign Number: 21V052000 (Air Bags). The contact stated that he was concerned about driving the vehicle. The manufacturer was not contacted. The approximate failure mileage was 160,000.
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.
Dash cracking, fuse box continues to throw codes, front end problems

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.

GM RECALL IS IMPOSSIBLE TO GET REPAIRED AND WHEN I CALL THE DEALERSHIP THERE JUST PLAIN RUDE
THIS RECALL, # 49152, WAS RECEIVED IN JULY, 2016. I TRIED TO SCHEDULE THE REPAIR WITH A LOCAL CHEVROLET DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT REPAIR PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE. I CONTINUED TO CHECK EVERY FEW MONTHS AND ALWAYS RECEIVED THE SAME ANSWER. IN MARCH, 2021 I RECEIVED A NOTICE THAT PARTS WERE NOW AVAILABLE AND I COULD SCHEDULE THE REPAIR, WHICH I DID. WHEN I SCHEDULED THE REPAIR THE DEALER SAID THEY WOULD HAVE TO ORDER THE PART AND WOULD CALL WHEN IT ARRIVED. THE PART ARRIVED AND THE REPAIR WAS SCHEDULED FOR 4/22/21 AND I WENT TO THE SERVICE BAY AT THE APPOINTMENT TIME. THE SERVICE CLERK SAID THE REPAIR WOULD TAKE ABOUT 2 HOURS AND I COULD EXPECT TO PAY ABOUT $800.00. I SAID I THOUGHT RECALL REPAIRS WERE FREE AND HE SAID THE AIR BAG REPAIR WAS FREE, BUT THAT ALMOST ALWAYS THE TRUCK DASH CRACKED DURING REMOVAL AND GM WOULD NOT COVER THE DASH COST. AFTER SOME DISCUSSION WHERE HE REPEATED THAT MOST DASH REMOVAL RESULTED IN A CRACKED DASH AND AGAIN THAT GM WOULD NOT COVER THE COST, I LEFT. II DO NOT UNDERSTAND HOW THE COST OF THE AIRBAG REMOVAL AND REINSTALLATION IS NOT ENTIRELY INCLUDED IN THE RECALL REPAIR. PLEASE EXPLAIN WHY THIS IS THE CASE AND, IF IT IS NOT THE CASE, PLEASE HELP ME GET THE AIRBAG REPLACED. THANK YOU.

2007 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 CLASSIC. WHEN I STARTED MY TRUCK THIS MORNING, THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. BRAKE FLUID WAS ALL OVER THE DRIVEWAY.

I'VE CONTACTED THEM ABOUT 3 WEEKS AGO. CAN SOMEONE HELP ME WITH THIS? I WOULD HATE FOR SOMETHING TO HAPPEN TO ME IF I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT. ALSO, I'VE LOOKED ON NHTSA WEBSITE FOR OTHER RECALLS ON MY VEHICLE. MY VEHICLE HAS AN RECALL FOR AN WHEEL HUB ASSEMBLIES. MY VEHICLE PULLS TO THE RIGHT TO THE POINT THAT I HAVE TO STOP TO THE VEHICLE (IF I CAN), AND IT ROARS VERY. ACCORDING TO THE NHTSA WEBSITE THE VEHICLE SHOULD HAVE THE RECALLED DONE BUT I DON'T BELIEVE IT WAS DONE CORRECTLY. CAN I GET THE DEALERSHIP TO FIX THE RECALL IF THE RECALL WAS ALREADY DONE? I AM THE SECOND OWNER OF THE VEHICLE.

I RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL FOR THE TAKATA AIRBAG INFLATORS IN JULY 2016. OVER THE PART 3+ YEARS I HAVE CONTACTED THE LOCAL CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP 6 TIMES FOR STATUS OF THE REPAIRS. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE. I WAS TOLD THE SAME THING BY THE GM CUSTOMER SERVICE PERSON. NO ONE SEEMS TO BE INTERESTED IN HELPING RESOLVE THIS SAFETY ISSUE. THE GM RECALL NUMBER IS 49151. THE LETTER STATES THAT I WILL BE CONTACTED WHEN PARTS ARE AVAILABLE BUT MY CONCERN IS WITH THE INFORMATION I KEEP RECEIVING THAT THERE ARE NO PARTS GOING TO BE AVAILABLE. MY LAST ATTEMPT TO RESOLVE THIS WAS MARCH 2, 2020.
MY TRUCK IS LISTED UNDER THE AIRBAG RECALL, YET I HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY INFORMATION SINCE THE INITIAL NOTICE. THE CURRENT PROBLEM IS THAT THE TRUCK WILL NOT RUN IF THE STEERING IS IN A CERTAIN POSITION. IT WILL START, THE SERVICE AIRBAG WARNING WILL DISPLAY, AND IT WILL SHUT OFF. IT WILL NOT STAY RUNNING UNTIL THE STEERING WHEEL IS THE "SWEET SPOT". THE STEERING HAS TO BE MANIPULATED BY HAND WITH THE IGNITION IN THE ACCESSORY POSITION.MOST OF THE TIME, THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE TRUCK IS PARKED, BUT ON ONE OCCASION IT ACTUALLY SHUT OFF WHILE SITING AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT IN VERY HEAVY TRAFFIC. THIS IS STARING TO HAPPEN MORE FREQUENTLY AND IT HAS ACTUALLY LEFT ME AND MY WIFE STRANDED 3 TIMES, RESULTING IN EXPENSIVE TOW TRUCK BILLS. THE REPAIR SHOP SAYS THEY CAN'T REPAIR IT BECAUSE THERE IS NO REMEDY FOR IT YET. SO FAR IT IS JUST AN IRRITATING EVENT. I FEAR THAT IT MAY LEAD TO SOMEONE GETTING HURT, ESPECIALLY IF IT HAPPENS WHILE ON THE ROAD AGAIN. WHAT CAN BE DONE ABOUT THIS ?

TAKATA RECALL. #16V381. WE HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR OVER 3 YEARS FOR GMC/CHEVY TO REPLACE/FIX THE TAKATA AIRBAG ON THIS RECALL. GMC WEBSITE STILL STATES "INCOMPLETE - REMEDY NOT YET AVAILABLE", THEY ARE WAITING ON REPLACEMENT PARTS. STILL WAITING ? OVER 3 YEARS NOW.... ## VIN PASSED ## , ##
I WAS DRIVING MY 2007 CHEVROLET SILVERADO WHEN THE POWER STEERING, POWER BRAKES, DASHBOARD GAUGES, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL, TRACTION CONTROL STOPPED WORKING SIMULTANEOUSLY. THERE WAS A SIGNIFICANT LOSS OF POWER AND THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTED VIOLENTLY AND THE VEHICLE JERKED. I WAS TRAVELING IN MOTION ON A CITY STREET WITH TRAFFIC PRESENT WHILE THIS OCCURRED. THIS NEARLY CAUSED AN ACCIDENT AS I WAS BARELY ABLE TO STEER THE VEHICLE OFF THE ROAD.
MY VEHICLE HAS 8 OR SO CRACKS IN THE DASHBOARD. TWO OF WHICH ARE BY THE PASSENGER AIRBAG WHICH CREATES A SAFETY HAZARD MEANING IF THE AIRBAG WERE TO DEPLOY FRAGMENTS OF THE DASH COULD IMPAIR ONE SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT OR OTHERS IN THE VEHICLE. I WOULD LIKE SOMETHING DONE ABOUT THIS ISSUE. I HAVE TALKED WITH MY LOCAL DEALER AND GENERAL MOTORS TWICE ABOUT THIS CONCERN AND NO ACTIONS WERE TAKEN. WHEN I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE THERE WAS ONLY THE ONE CRACK NEAR THE CORNER OF THE AIRBAG AND HAS SINCE GOTTEN WORSE.

TAKATA RECALL. WE NEED A FIX. WE KEEP GETTING RECALL NOTICES, WHEN WE CALL THE DEALERS, THE SAME ANSWER EVERY TIME, WE WILL CALL YOU WHEN WE GET THE PARTS. NO RETURNED CALLS.

TAKATA RECALL THEY SAY THIS RECALL HURTS NOBODY AND THAT THE TRUCK IS STILL DRIVEABLE IN ALL CASES. IT'S UNTRUE. IN FACT I'VE BEEN UNABLE TO DRIVE MY CAR FOR OVER 2.5 YEARS. IMPOSSIBLE YOU SAY? WELL, SINCE THE TAG EXPIRED IN AUGUST 2016 IT HAS BEEN BLACKLISTED BY THE CANADIAN GOVERNMENT AS A HAZARD DUE TO THE SAFETY RECALL. BECAUSE I WAS IMPORTING MY CAR INTO CANADA DURING THE START OF THIS FIASCO. IT IS NOT ELIGIBLE TO BE TAGGED AND IS NOW NOT LEGAL TO BE USED. I'M AN AMERICAN CITIZEN WHO IS MARRIED AND LIVES AND WORKS IN CANADA, WITH A CHILD. IT'S REALLY HURT ME, FINANCIALLY - I'VE HAD TO BUY BUS PASSES, AND PAY FOR PARKING AND INSURANCE FOR A CAR THAT CANNOT BE USED. MY TIRES ARE DRY ROTTING OFF AND NEW ONES WILL HAVE TO BE PURCHASED WITHOUT BEING ABLE TO USE THE VIABLE TREAD I HAD LEFT. PHYSICALLY AND ENOTIONALLY - DUE TO CANADIAN WINTERS AND HAVING A DAUGHTER - I'VE BEEN VIRTUALLY HOMEBOUND EVERY WEEKDAY AS IT IS WET DIFFICULT TO WALK ABOUT AND BUS WITH A BABY ESPECIALLY WITH ICE AND SNOW. MAYBE IT'S NOT HURTING ANYONE ELSE BUT IT'S HURTING ME. NOBODY CAN GIVE US BACK THE TIME WE LOST, THE DEPRECIATION OF MY TRUCK WITHOUT ANY BENEFIT GLEANED. ALL THE MISSED FAMILY MOMENT WITH MY HUSBAND RIDING BIKE TRAILS, WHICH WE CAN NO LONGER DRIVE TO AS WE DON'T HAVE TRANSPORTATION FOR OUR BIKES. I HOPE THEY DO A NETFLIX DOCUMENTARY ON THIS.

CANADA HAS HIGHER SAFETY STANDARDS THAN THE US ON IMPORTED VEHICLES AND SO - UNTIL MY AIRBAG IS FIXED - THEY WON'T LET ME COMPLETE THE RECALL PROCESS. SO FOR TWO YEARS I'VE BEEN WALKING AND TAKING THE BUS - EVEN MUCH OF THE TIME WHILE I WAS PREGNANT AND COULDN'T GET RIDES IN THE WINTER. WELL I NOW HAVE A NEWBORN DAUGHTER THAT I'M GONNA EITHER HAVE TO PUSH AROUND IN THE SNOW OR STAY AT HOME THE ENTIRE WINTER? I'M BEYOND ANGRY AT THE UNFAIRNESS OF THE SITUATION. I'VE CALLED BOTH CHEVY US AND CANADA FOR TWO YEARS AND THEY DON'T CARE AND WON'T HELP. MY TRUCK HAS BEEN DEPRECIATING FOR TWO YEARS AND I'LL NEVER BE COMPENSATED FOR THAT AS WELL AS THE TIRES DRY ROTTING AND BATTERY DYING ETC

TAKATA RECALL 2010 - GM STATUS FOR THIS 'RECALL' - RECALL INCOMPLETE, REMEDY NOT YET AVAILABLE. IT'S GOING ON 8 YEARS NOW AND STILL NO REMEDY BUT TAKATA ACKNOWLEDGES DEFECT / RECALL. WHEN WILL MY AIRBAGS BE ABLE TO BE FIXED BY GM / TAKATA?
TAKATA RECALL CHEVROLET HAS YET TO ISSUE A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE. HOT AND WARM CLIMATES CAN CAUSE PROBLEMS FROM WHAT THE INFO SAYS. I LIVE IN SC AND WITH THE WEATHER GETTING WARMER A TEMPS REACHING 105 DURING THE SUMMER IT DEFINITELY HAS ME CONCERNED. WHEN WILL THEY HAVE THIS FIXED AFTER MORE PEOPLE DIE!
TAKATA RECALL - SERVICE AIR BAG MESSAGE DISPLAYED ON DIC AND INDICATOR LIT ON DASH. MESSAGE AND LIGHT CAME ON AT 169000 MILES.

TAKATA RECALL NO ACTION TAKEN JUST GOT A LETTER FROM THEM OF THE RECALL ONE YEAR AGO THEY SAY THEY DO NOT HAVE A FIX FOR THE PROBLEM FROM GM
TAKATA RECALL. I RECEIVED A LETTER DATED JULY 2016 FROM CHEVROLET AROUND AUGUST 16, 2016 ADVISING ME OF GM RECALL 49152. I CALLED GM ON AUGUST 16, 2016 AND RECEIVED REFERENCE # 8-2305780209 SAYING "NO PROGRESS ON REPAIRS,YET" I CALLED GM AGAIN ON JANUARY 9, 2017 AND RECEIVED REFERENCE # 8-2652079164 WITH THE SAME RESPONSE OF "NO PROGRESS ON REPAIRS, YET" I ALSO CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP I PURCHASED MY TRUCK FROM, (ORIGINALLY. IT WAS MARK HEITZ CHEVROLET), THEN DAVID STANLEY CHEVROLET, AND NOW LANDERS CHEVROLET. I SPOKE WITH THE SERVICE MANAGERS OF BOTH STANLEY AND LANDERS, AND THE LAST RESPONSE FROM LANDERS SERVICE MANAGER WAS THAT THERE WE "NO PARTS YET. NO PROSPECTS FOR WHEN THEY (REPLACEMENT AIR BAGS) MAY BE SHIPPED." LET ME NOW BEGIN TO TELL YOU MY CONCERNS, SINCE I RECEIVED MY ORIGINAL NOTICE FROM GM IN AUGUST, 2016, TAKATA HAS FILED FOR CHAPTER 11 BANKRUPTCY ON JUNE 25, 2017. THE ORIGINAL DEALERSHIP WHICH SOLD ME MY PICKUP TRUCK, HEITZ CHEVROLET, HAS SUBSEQUENTLY SOLD TWICE--TO DAVID STANLEY CHEVROLET, AND NOW, TO LANDERS CHEVROLET. I AM BEGINNING TO THINK OF A CONSPIRACY. DID TAKATA ADVISE GM OF A POTENTIAL PROBLEM THAT GM SUBSEQUENTLY ADVISED THEIR VARIOUS DEALERSHIPS OF REGARDING TAKATA AIR BAGS? IF SO, THEN I AM VERY INTERESTED TO KNOW EXACTLY WHEN 1) TAKATA KNEW OF THE PROBLEM WITH THEIR AIR BAGS, 2) WHEN DID THEY FIRST NOTIFY THE AUTO MANUFACTURERS (SPECIFICALLY, GM) OF THE PROBLEM WITH THEIR AIR BAGS, 3) WHEN EXACTLY DID GM ACKNOWLEDGE RECEIPT FROM TAKATA ABOUT THE AIR BAG PROBLEM, 4) DID GM NOTIFY ITS DEALERSHIP OWNERS, EITHER SPECIFICALLY OR ON A BLANKET BASIS, OF THE PENDING PROBLEM WITH TAKATA AIR BAGS, AND 5) WHEN DID GM NOTIFY ITS DEALERSHIP AND DEALERSHIP OWNERS OF THE TAKATA MESS. GM SAYS MY TRUCK IS SAFE TO DRIVE. HOWEVER, IT IS JUST NOT SAFE TO WRECK. I WANT THIS RESOLVED IN MY FAVOR--NOT WAITING FOR GM TO FILE BANKRUPTCY.

INCOMPLETE REMEDY NOT YET AVAILABLE, CHEVY SAYS THIS: 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.

WHILE I WAS DRIVING MY VEHICLE THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG BLEW UP. AFTER THE RESIDUAL TRAMA WORE OFF, I IMMEDIATELY HEADED TO THE DEALERSHIP. WHILE ON THE WAY (ABOUT 5 MINUTES LATE) THE DRIVERS SIDE BLEW UP IN MY FACE. I MADE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY HAD TO UNLOCK THE SEAT BELT THAT WAS CINCHING ME IN. TO MAKE A LONG STORY SHORT, THEY REPLACED THE AIRBAG AND WERE GOING TO CHARGE ME FOR THE NEW SEAT BELT. BUT AFTER SOME HAGGLING THEY COVERED THAT TOO. MY QUESTION IS --HOW CAN I KNOW IF THE NEW AIRBAG THEY PUT IN IS OR IS NOT A TAKATA AIRBAG. (SINCE THOSE ARE RECALLED) THIS INCIDENT HAPPENED IN AUGUST OF 2013.

I CHECKED THE STATUS OF THE RECALL AT MY.GM.COM/RECALLS ON THE FOLLOWING DATES WITH THE SAME INFORMATION FOUND: 10/8/16; 1/3/17; 8/10/17. I RECEIVED A LEGAL NOTICE ON 10/20/17, STATING THAT TAKATA, THE AIR BAG INFLATORS MANUFACTURER, IS/HAS DECLARED BANKRUPTCY, ETC.

NO MOTOR VEHICLE ACCIDENT OR OTHER INCIDENT TO STIMULATE THE ACTION OF THE AIR BAGS HAS OCCURRED, THANKFULLY.

MULTIPLE CRACKS IN THE DASHBOARD IN AND AROUND THE PASSENGER AIRBAG AND DRIVERS SIDE. PIECES BECOME A HAZARD IN THE EVENT OF A COLLISION AS THEY COULD BECOME PROJECTILES. DASH CRACKS LEAD TO LOSS OF STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY OF THE DASH SYSTEM WHICH MAY ALSO IMPEDE THE ABILITY OF THE AIRBAG TO FUNCTION. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN WELL DOCUMENTED AND REPORTED BY MULTITUDES OF CONSUMERS THROUGHOUT THE NATION. GM/CHEVROLET REFUSE TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THERE IS A MANUFACTURING PROBLEM AND REFUSED TO PROVIDE ANY SUPPORT WHEN CONTACTED VIA PHONE. THE LOSS OF STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY ALSO POSES A HAZARD AS THE PIECES VIBRATE AND CAUSE A DISTRACTION FOR THE DRIVER. MY DASH BOARD WAS REPLACED AT APPROX. 80000 MILES DUE TO THE SAME ISSUE IN NEARLY THE SAME LOCATION. THIS PROBLEM SHOULD WARRANT A RECALL AND/OR A STREAMLINED AVENUE TO REPAIR THE KNOWN DEFECT. THERE ALSO SHOULD BE SOME REQUIREMENT FOR ENGINEERING TO REVIEW THE DESIGN AND REMEDY THE SITUATION FULLY.

OTHER- I HAVE CALLED SEVERAL DEALERS AND EVERY ONE HAS TOLD ME THAT THE PLASTIC USED ON MY VEHICLES DASH HAS BECOME BRITTLE AND BROKEN. THIS INCLUDED ALL SILVERADO TRUCK FROM 2007-2013. ONE EVEN MENTIONED THAT IT COULD POSSIBLE AFFECT THE FUNCTION OF THE AIRBAG SYSTEM... IF IT EVEN FUNCTIONS PROPERLY. YET, NO ATTENTION TO THIS BY GM.
CRACKED DASH!! MY 2007 CHEVY SILVERADO DASH IS CRUMBLING TO PIECES.. I'M WORRIED IF THE PASSENGER AIRBAG GOES OFF, PIECES OF PLASTIC WILL IMPACT THE PASSENGER.. GM SHOULD REALLY FIX THIS.
DASHBOARD HAS CRACKED MAKING IT A SAFETY CONCERN FROM THE AIR BAGS. THIS HAS HAPPENED OVER A PERIOD OF ONE YEAR. NOW THE TOTAL DASHBOARD HAS COMPLETELY CRACKED.

DASHBOARD PLASTIC IS CRACKING NEAR THE PASSENGER AIRBAG AND ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. THIS IS A VERY COMMON DEFECT IN SILVERADOS, TAHOE'S, DENALIS, ETC FROM THE YEARS 07-13. THE CONCERN (OTHER THAN POOR QUALITY) IS DEBRIS BREAKING LOOSE IN AN ACCIDENT IF THE PASSENGER AIRBAG DEPLOYS AND CAUSING SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. GENERAL MOTORS DENIES THAT THIS IS A DEFECT AND IS CLAIMING THAT IT IS CAUSED BY THE OWNERS USING CLEANING PRODUCTS SUCH AS ARMOR ALL ON THEIR DASH. THIS IS, OF COURSE, NONSENSE. MANY OWNERS HAVE NEVER USED ANY CLEANING PRODUCTS AND STILL HAVE THE SAME CRACKS IN THE SAME PLACES. THE REAL PROBLEM IS A LACK OF TOLERANCE IN THE PLASTIC MOUNTING POINTS WHICH DOES NOT ALLOW ANY ROOM FOR EXPANSION/CONTRACTION IN THE HEAT AND COLD. HERE IS A LINK TO A FACEBOOK GROUP FOR OWNERS OF GM VEHICLES WITH THIS DEFECT WITH 5,700 MEMBERS AND COUNTING EVERY DAY WITH ALL THE EVIDENCE YOU COULD EVER ASK FOR.

TAKATA RECALL. THE VEHICLE I OWN HAD A RECALL ISSUED IN AUGUST OF 2015.(GM RECALL 49152) THERE HAS BEEN NO NOTIFICATION OF AN AVAILABLE REPAIR MADE TO THE VEHICLE IN THE INTERIM, ALTHOUGH GM STATES THE VEHICLE IS "SAFE TO DRIVE" THEY EVIDENTLY CONSIDERED IT "SAFE TO DRIVE" WHEN MANUFACTURED AS WELL. I LIVE IN A HOT HUMID ENVIRONMENT (LOUISIANA) WHERE THE INFLATORS ARE DESCRIBED AS DEGRADING PREMATURELY. I UNDERSTAND THE MAGNITUDE OF THIS RECALL, BUT I WOULD APPRECIATE A RESOLUTION OF THIS ISSUE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT HE SAFETY OF THE VEHICLE AND THE AIR BAG DEFECT INDICATOR LIGHT INTERMITTENTLY COMES ON .
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

THE TRUCK IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION AND HAS BEEN WELL-MAINTAINED. AT 127,000 THE ENGINE STARTED MAKING A NOISE DIAGNOSED AS LIFTER NOISE. WITHIN A HUNDRED MILES OR SO, WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY, IT STARTED TO MAKE A VERY LOUD NOISE, AND AGAIN DIAGNOSED AS LIFTERS ON AT LEAST 2 CYLINDERS NEEDING REPLACED. UPON THE ADVICE OF A 25+ YEAR GM MECHANIC I WILL BE REPLACING THE MOTOR AS THIS IS MOST COST EFFECTIVE AS WELL AS BUYING A PROGRAM CHIP TO BYPASS THE "ACTIVE FUEL MANAGEMENT" WHICH HAS CAUSED THE PROBLEM. THIS WAS ALSO RECOMMENDED AS GM HAS NOT ALTERED ANYTHING ENGINEERING WISE TO PREVENT THIS FROM HAPPENING ON A BRAND NEW MOTOR THAT WOULD BE PURCHASED FROM THEM. *TR
IN JULY, 2012 THE DASH IN MY TRUCK CRACKED AROUND THE AIRBAG. I CONTACTED GM WHERE THEY TOLD ME IT WAS MY FAULT AND CLEANING PRODUCTS CAUSED IT. THEY WOULD ONLY COVER THE COST OF THE PART, BUT NOT LABOR WHICH WAS MORE THAN THE COST OF THE PRODUCT. I REFUSED TELLING THEM IT WAS THEIR ISSUE AS THERE ARE LOTS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT IT. IT WAS LATER PROVEN THAT CLEANING PRODUCTS DO NOT CAUSE THE CRACKS. I ASKED GM AGAIN TO REPLACE THE DASH AFTER SEEING PEOPLE HAVE BEEN INJURED FROM PIECES OF THE DASH AFTER AN ACCIDENT. GM STILL CLAIMS THERE IS NO SAFETY ISSUES WITH THE DASH. THAT HAS BEEN PROVEN FALSE AND THERE ARE 10S OF THOUSANDS OF THESE TRUCKS WITH THE ISSUE.

VEHICLE, WHICH I HAD JUST BOUGHT USED FROM A DEALERSHIP, DIED WHILE IN MOTION REPEATEDLY ON BOTH A HIGHWAY AND ON A STREET AFTER BEING DRIVEN FOR A PERIOD OF TIME. DID NOT OCCUR DURING TEST DRIVES OR DURING INSPECTION. INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTS, GAUGES AND DOOR LOCKS OPERATED ERRATICALLY BEFORE VEHICLE SUDDENLY STOPPED. WOULD NOT PROMPTLY RESTART. TOOK SEVERAL ATTEMPTS BEFORE IT STARTED. CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP HAD VEHICLE FOR OVER A DAY AND COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE ELECTRICAL PROBLEM. MY SEARCH ON GOOGLE AND YOUTUBE INDICATES THAT THERE IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH CORROSION OF THE BATTERY CABLES, - JUST "GOOGLE" 2007 SILVERADO ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS AND YOU WILL SEE WHAT I MEAN. WHY THE CHEVY DEALERSHIP COULD NOT OR WOULD NOT DIAGNOSE THIS I DON'T KNOW. I REPLACED ALL THE NECESSARY BATTERY CABLES AND THE PROBLEM HAS NOT REOCCURRED. IN MY OPINION, THIS IS A KNOWN AND COMMON FAULT THAT CHEVY SHOULD BE WELL AWARE OF AND THE FIX READILY AVAILABLE.

I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A LOCAL MECHANIC WHERE HE PROCEEDED TO TELL ME THAT THIS IS AN ON GOING ISSUE WITH THESE TRUCKS AND THAT ALL OF THE BRAKE LINES SHOULD BE REPLACED. THE LINES ARE STEEL AND RUST. THE BILL WOULD BE APPROX. $1,000.00 TO REPAIR!!! IT'S A NICE TRUCK HOWEVER I MAY NOT PURCHASE ANOTHER GM VEHICLE BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE AND GM NOT STANDING BEHIND IT AND RECALLING THESE TO HAVE THE LINES REPLACED WITH STAINLESS.

DASHBOARD CRACKS IN THREE DIFFERENT LOCATIONS. AS KNOWN BY MANY OTHER OWNERS IN THE SAME LOCATIONS. I AM AFRAID IF INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT THE AIRBAGS WOULD CAUSE DASHBOARD TO COME APART FLYING INTO THE CABIN CAUSING BODILY INJURY TO PASSENGERS.

I OWN A 2007 CHEVROLET SILVERADO (VIN [XXX]). RECENTLY I HAD AN AIR BAG SERVICE WARNING WHICH WAS DEALER DIAGNOSED AS A FAILED SENSOR AND THE UNIT REPLACED. MY REVIEW OF THE FAILED PART SHOWED THE SAME DAMAGE AS THE FAILED SENSOR I HAD REPLACED LAST YEAR. THE DAMAGE INDICATES THE SENSOR CASES WERE CRACKED OPEN BY OVER TIGHTENING OF THE MOUNTING HARDWARE (REFER TO THE ATTACHED PHOTOGRAPH). THE SENSOR IS A HIGH VALUE PART (PART PLUS INSTALLATION $ 375) THAT HAS TO HAVE A HIGH RELIABILITY. THE CORROSION PRESENT AT THE CASE FAILURE MUST HAVE CAUSED THE DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM TO SHOW A FAULT. SINCE THIS IS CRITICAL PART, AN INSTALLATION TORQUE MUST HAVE BEEN DESIGNATED AND THE TORQUE EITHER WAS WRONG OR IMPROPERLY ADJUSTED.

WHEN STOPPING QUICKLY TO AVOID A DEER, THE BRAKE LINE LEADING TO THE REAR WHEELS FAILED. LUCKILY I DID NOT HIT THE DEER BUT IF IT WAS PEDESTRIAN OR ANOTHER VEHICLE LATER IN THE TRIP THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN FATALITY. THERE ARE NUMEROUS REPORTS OF THESE RUSTY BRAKE LINES FAILING. MY TRUCK 8 YEARS OLD WITH <72,000 MILES. I LIVE IN THE VERY BOTTOM OF THE "SNOW BELT". MY MECHANIC SAYS HE SEES MULTIPLES OF THESE EVERY MONTH. HE HAS A NOTE ATTACHED TO THE LIFT FOR DIRECTIONS ON CONNECTIONS BECAUSE HE DOES IT SO OFTEN. I LOST ALL BRAKE FLUID TO THE GROUND AND HAD NO BRAKES! I HAD A 12,000 # TRAILER BEHIND ME. THANKFULLY THIS TRAILER HAS GREAT BRAKES OF ITS OWN OR I WOULD HAVE NEVER STOPPED (WAS ON A DOWNHILL)
DASHBOARD LIGHT FLICKERING. ABS,TIRE PRESSURE, AND AIR BAG LIGHTS COME ON AND OFF. RADIO COMES ON AND OFF. DID THIS FOR 40 MILES CONSTANTLY. OUTSIDE LIGHT WORKING FINE. SIGNAL LIGHT WOULD NOT WORK INSIDE, BUT WERE WORKING OUTSIDE. GAUGES (FUEL, SPEEDOMETER, THROTTLE, ETC) WOULD STOP WORKING OR WOULD STICK ON WHATEVER READING THEY WERE ON WHEN THE FLICKER HAPPENS.
DASHBOARD CRACKED/CRACKING IN SEVERAL LOCATIONS. I FIRST NOTICED ABOUT TWO YEARS AGO, BUT DID NOT KNOW OF THIS WEBSITE OR KNOW IT TO BE A NATIONWIDE ISSUE UNTIL READ ON NEWS TO REPORT IF HAPPENING TO A VEHICLE.
I HAVE A 2007 CHEVY SILVERADO QUAD CAB LT(NEW BODY) OVER THE PAST 4 YEARS MY DASH HAS SLOWLY BEGAN TO CRACK IN MULTIPLE PLACES. THE ONE PLACES THAT WORRIES ME THE MOST IS I HAVE A 4 IN CRACK RIGHT ABOUT MY PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. THIS IS VERY WORRISOME TO ME BECAUSE IT MAKES ME WONDER IF THIS WILL CAUSE THE AIRBAG TO DEPLOY PREMATURELY. ALSO THERE IS MULTIPLE CRACKS ON THE DRIVER SIDE SO BAD THAT A PIECE THE SIZE OF A HALF DOLLAR CRACK OFF AND FELL INSIDE MY DASH SOMEWHERE. I HAVE CONTACTED GM ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND WAS TOLD IT WASN'T THERE PROBLEM. SINCE MAKING THIS COMPLAINT I HAVE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH WELL OVER 1,000 OTHER GM OWNERS THAT HAVE THE EXACT PROBLEM AND IT DOESN'T JUST AFFECT THE SILVERADO. IT ALSO AFFECTS THE YUKON, AVALANCHE, SIERRA AND TAHOE. I THINK THIS PROBLEM TRULY NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. IT TRULY IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED IMMEDIATELY.
WHILE BACKING IN MY DRIVEWAY, APPLIED BRAKES AND PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. THE BRAKE LINE TO THE RF WHEEL HAD RUSTED/CORRODED TO THE POINT THAT IT FAILED. ALL OF THE BRAKE LINES ARE IN THE SAME CONDITION AND WILL REQUIRE REPLACEMENT.
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
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET SILVERADO. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V324000 (AIR BAGS); HOWEVER, THE PART NEEDED TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE VEHICLE REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE.
LAST FALL 10/14 REPLACED ALL BRAKE LINES DUE TO CORROSION (97000 MILES). WHICH HAS BEEN MENTIONED NUMEROUS TIMES ALREADY. 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)
DRIVING SLOWLY UP TO A STOP SIGN COMING OUT OF THE TARGET STORE IN SHOREVIEW, MINNESOTA. THE ABS ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM ACTIVATED AND MADE THE TRUCK DIFFICULT TO STOP. THE VEHICLE WENT THROUGH THE STOP SIGN BUT DID NOT COLLIDE WITH ANY ONCOMING TRAFFIC. ACCORDING TO MANY OTHER INCIDENCES DESCRIBED ONLINE, THE EXACT SAME THING IS HAPPENING TO OTHERS. IN THE NORTHERN "SALT BELT", RUST AND CORROSION GATHERS AROUND THE FRONT BRAKE SENSORS AND PULLS THEM UPWARDS SENDING THE WRONG SIGNAL TO THE COMPUTER. THERE IS ALREADY A RECALL ON SOME CHEVROLET TRUCKS PRE-2005 FOR THE VERY SAME REASON. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND PREVENTABLE IF GM WOULD SOLVE THE PROBLEM ONCE AND FOR ALL.

DRIVING WITH AIR CONDITION ON THE DRIVER SIDE WILL START BLOWING OUT HOT AIR, PASSENGER SIDE COLD AIR. SPEED DOES NOT MATTER. IT MAY HAPPEN ONCE OR TWICE IN 5 MILES OR IT MAY GO SEVERAL HUNDRED BEFORE IT HAPPENS AGAIN. IF I TURN THE ENGINE OFF THEN BACK ON IT WORKS RIGHT UNTIL THE NEXT TIME. I THOUGHT IT WAS ONLY MY TRUCK UNTIL L LOOKED AT SOME ONLINE STUFF, A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. IT IS ONLY TRUCKS WITH DUAL AIR CONTROLS. THE DEALERS WILL NOT ADDRESS IT BECAUSE THEY CAN'T DUPLICATE IT. I DON'T THINK THEY BELIEVE ME OR THEY JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND A VERY SIMPLE PROBLEM. THANKS MARK.
BRAKE LINES HAD CORRODED AND A PIN HOLE LEAK ALLOWED BRAKE FLUID TO LEAK OUT OF THE SYSTEM WHEN THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED. BRAKING ABILITY WAS GREATLY REDUCED. I WAS TOWING A BOAT AT THE TIME, MAKING THE FAILURE EVEN MORE DANGEROUS. INSPECTION SUBSEQUENTLY SHOWED THAT ALL FOUR LINES WHICH RUN FORWARD FROM THE ABS MODULE TO THE MASTER CYLINDER HAD SEVERAL AREAS OF SEVERE CORROSION. ALL THE LINES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE USE OF CARBON STEEL BRAKE LINES WAS A POOR DESIGN DECISION. GM HAS SUBSEQUENTLY IN 2008 UPGRADED THE MATERIALS OF CONSTRUCTION, BUT OWNERS OF OLDER VEHICLES ARE AT RISK, AND SUBJECT TO AN EXPENSIVE REPAIR BILL.
ABS UNIT ON FRONT BRAKES MALFUNCTIONS AT LOW SPEED. THE ABS SENSORS MISTAKENLY RELEASES BRAKE PRESSURE, AS VEHICLE SLOWS TO A STOP, THINKING THE WHEEL IS SKIDDING. THIS RELEASE OF BRAKE PRESSURE LENGTHENS THE STOPPING DISTANCE, WHICH COULD RESULT IN A LOW SPEED CRASH.
THE DRIVES SEAT BELT BUCKLE WILL NOT LATCH. PART # 19121537
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.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET SILVERADO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE TURNING THE VEHICLE ON, THE SERVICE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED.

THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.
WAS DRIVING MY 2007 CHEVY SILVERADO 1500 ABOUT 40 MPH WHEN THE DOOR LOCKS STARTED LOCKING AND UNLOCKING, ALL WARNING LIGHTS WERE FLASHING, SPEEDOMETER WOULD READ THEN DROP OUT THE READ AGAIN. ENGINE TEMPORARILY WAS SHUTTING OFF THEN COMING BACK ON. TRIED TO ACCELERATE TO GET IT OFF THE ROAD AND FELT LIKE TRANSMISSION WAS AFFECTED BUT MAY HAVE BEEN BECAUSE THE WAS THE ENGINE WAS SHUTTING OFF AND ON. GOT HOME SHUT KEY OFF AND LOST ALL ELECTRICAL POWER AND COULD NOT RESTART. I WAS A GM TECH SO WENT INTO GARAGE FOR A BATTERY TESTER HOOKED IT UP AND BATTERY LOAD TESTED GOOD SHUT HOOD WENT TO GO BACK INSIDE TRUCK AND POWER CAME BACK ON AND STARTED RIGHT UP. HAS HAPPENED TWICE SINCE THEN. ASKED OTHER GM TECHS STILL WORKING AT DEALERS AND SAID THEY'VE NEVER HEARD OF PROBLEMS LIKE THIS HAPPENING. *TR
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET SILVERADO. WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND FAILED TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT DROVE THE VEHICLE TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC USING THE PARKING BRAKE TO STOP. IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE BRAKE LINES WERE RUSTED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 92,150. UPDATED 5/15/15*CN
THE BRAKES FAILED DUE TO RUSTED LINES. THERE WAS NO PRESSURE ON THE BRAKE PEDAL AND THE VEHICLE NEEDED TO BE STOPPED USING PARKING BRAKE. MECHANIC SAID THAT THIS IS NOT THE FIRST ONE HE HAS SEEN. EXTREMELY UNSAFE CONDITION. *TR
DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND NOTICED A CRACK ALL OF A SUDDEN SHOW UP ON MY DASH NEAR THE PASSENGER AIR BAG. NOT EXACTLY SURE WHAT TIME OF DAY IT WAS OR EXACTLY WHERE OR WHEN IT HAPPENED. *TR
MOVING MY TRUCK FROM THE BACK YARD TO THE FRONT YARD, TRAVELING LESS THAN 3 MPH, NO ONE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG DEPLOYED FIRST AND THEN ABOUT 2 SECONDS LATER THE DRIVERS SIDE AIRBAG DEPLOYED. THE CHEVY EMBLEM ON THE STEERING WHEEL EMBEDDED ITSELF INTO MY RIGHT HAND NEARLY BREAKING MY THUMB. AFTER COMING TO STOP, I NOTICED THE SEAT BELT PRETENSIONERS ON BOTH SIDES HAD ALSO BEEN DEPLOYED AND THEY ARE NOW LOCKED UP TIGHT. THE TRUCK DID NOT HIT ANYTHING. I SAY IT LIKE THIS BECAUSE THE CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP WOULD NOT BELIEVE ME AND TOLD ME IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE AND THAT IT WAS MY FAULT. I WANT MY TRUCK FIXED BECAUSE I NO LONGER HAVE ANY SAFETY FEATURES. CHEVY SAID THEY WILL FIX IT FOR $4,000.00. I SAY THE CONTROL MODULE WENT BAD AND IT IS THEIR FAULT AND IT SHOULD BE FIXED FOR FREE. *TR
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER FAILED TO WORK.

THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURES RECURRED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.
NO CRASH INCIDENT. THE DASHBOARD ON THE VEHICLE HAS CRACKED FOR NO REASON IN MULTIPLE LOCATIONS. ONE RIGHT NEAR THE AIRBAG AND THE SAFETY CONCERN IS THE AIRBAG WILL NOT DEPLOY PROPERLY IN CASE OF COLLISION WHICH COULD LEAD TO SEVERE INJURY. THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM WITH THOUSANDS OF GM VEHICLES SUFFERING FROM THE SAME ISSUES. GM IS IGNORING THE PROBLEM AND REFUSING TO COVER REPAIRS BECAUSE NO RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED. HOW CAN A RECALL BE ISSUED IF THEY ARE DENYING AND COVERING UP THE PROBLEM. PLEASE REMEMBER THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE FIRST AND FOREMOST.

A FEW MONTHS LATER, A FELLOW DRIVE TOLD ME THAT MY BRAKE LIGHTS WERE STAYING ON WHILE DRIVING AND THEN I NOTICED THAT THE CRUISE CONTROL WAS NOT WORKING AGAIN. TOOK BACK TO AUTO SHOP, WAS TOLD THAT THE BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH WAS OK. TOOK VEHICLE TO GM DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT THE BODY CONTROL MODULE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND NOTICED THAT GM HAD A RECALL IN MAY 2014 FOR PASSENGER CARS WITH SIMILAR PROBLEMS. *TR

HAVE 3 CRACKS IN DASHBOARD. 2 ABOVE DRIVER SIDE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER, AND 1 ON PASSENGER SIDE NEXT TO PASSENGER AIRBAG. HAD PIECE OF DASH BREAK OFF AND FALL INSIDE DASHBOARD ASSEMBLY. GM ONLY WANTS TO COMPENSATE UP TO 20% TO HAVE THIS REPLACED. I BELIEVE THAT GM SHOULD BE REPLACING THESE AT THEIR COST DUE TO THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS OF THIS HAPPENING. FEEL THAT THIS COULD BE A SAFETY ISSUE IF I WERE TO GET INTO A WRECK, AND PIECES OF THE DASHBOARD BREAK OFF. *JS
IT SOUNDS LIKE THE REAREND IT FEELS LIKE SOMETHING BUMPS YOU FROM THE REAR. I CHECKED THE DRIVE SHAFT,U JOINTS I JUST THINK ITS IN THE REAREND HAVE NOT TAKEN IT TO A MECH. YET HE WILL TELL ME THE SAME THING. *TR
BUNDLED WIRING UNDER DASH STARTED SMOLDERING WHILE VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN DRIVEWAY, HAD BEEN SITTING FOR ABOUT 48 HOURS. I PULLED MUCH OF THE DASH APART TO MAKE SURE THERE WASN'T AN ACTIVE FIRE. WHILE BEING REPAIRED AT LOCAL CHEVY DEALER. WIRING ACTUALLY CAUGHT FIRE BURNING THE REPAIR TECHS HANDS. WHEN I ASKED WHAT COULD HAVE CAUSED THIS, THEY JUST TOLD ME THAT SOMETIMES IT HAPPENS AND THEY DON'T KNOW WHY. *TR

THE MANIFOLD BOLTS HAVE BROKEN OFF INTO THE HEAD OF THE ENGINE. RESULTING IN FAILURE OF SEAL TO HEAD FROM THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD. IN TURN, HAS CAUSED THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER TO FAIL AND NOW THE VEHICLE REQUIRES EXTENSIVE WORK TO PASS EMISSIONS TESTING IN CALIFORNIA. IT ONLY TAKES ONE BOLT TO BREAK ON THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD TO CAUSE THIS ISSUE. THE BOLTS ARE OBVIOUSLY THE WEAK LINK. THE ENGINEERING DESIGN NEEDS TO BE MODIFIED IMMEDIATELY. IT IS NOT LISTED AS A MAINTENANCE ITEM IN ANY GM OWNERS MANUAL. WHY SHOULD THE CONSUMER BE RESPONSIBLE FOR AN ITEM THAT CAUSES CATASTROPHIC FAILURE TO THE EMISSION SYSTEM, WHICH IS A MANDATED AND GOVERNED BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AND FEE'D ACCORDINGLY VIA STATE AND COUNTY GUIDELINES. *TR

OUR 2007 CHEVY SUBURBAN WAS PARKED IN OUT DRIVE WAY, AFTER A SEVERE HAIL STORM IN KILLEEN, TX WE TOOK THE CAR TO GET THE HAIL DAMAGED REPAIRED, UPON COMPLETION OF THE REPAIRS THE AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. SIMULTANEOUSLY, ON THE NEWS THERE WERE REPORTS OF AIR BAGS MALFUNCTIONING ON GM VEHICLES. WE ARE A FAMILY WITH TEENAGERS AND I AM AFRAID THIS AIR BAG IS A EXTREME CONCERN. THE VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN IN ANY COLLISIONS OR ACCIDENTS THAT REQUIRED ANY MAJOR MECHANICAL REPAIRS. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TAKEN CARE OF WITHOUT FAIL. I HAVE A STRONG FEELING THE AIR BAG ISSUE IS A MANUFACTURE MALFUNCTION. *TR
THE FUEL LIGHT CAME ON AND HAS NEVER TURNED OFF.. NOW WE CAN'T TELL HOW MUCH FUEL THE VEHICLE HAS, IT DOESNT SHOW KEEPS SAYING LOW FUEL EVEN WHEN ITS FULL. THE GAGE THAT SHOWS HOW MUCH FUEL IT HAS IS STUCK ON THE EMPTY SIDE. I FEEL THAT THIS IS DANGEROUS BECAUSE YOU DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH GAS IT HAS. PLEASE CHECK ON OTHERS OF THE SAME PROBLEMS ON THIS VEHICLE TYPES. *TR
BOUGHT THIS TRUCK USED HAD 54000 MILES ON IT. STILL HAD WARRANTY LEFT ON IT. AT 71000 MILES STARTED USING 1 TO 2 QTS OF OIL BETWEEN CHANGES. THE DEALER HAS DONE ALL CHANGES ON THIS TRUCK EVERY 3000 TO 4000 MILES. ASKED THEM WHY IT STARTED USING OIL AND THEY SAID THEY CHECKED AND COULD NOT FIND ANY LEAKS AND DIDN'T KNOW WHY IT WAS USING OIL. HAVE HAD TO ADD 1 OR 2 QTS BETWEEN CHANGES EVERY SINCE THE TRUCK NOW HAS 107000 MILES ON IT. THEIR ARE HUNDREDS OF REPORTS OF THIS PROBLEM ON THE INTERNET. NEED HELP IN GETTING THIS REPAIRED. *TR

I BEGAN HEARING A GRINDING SOUND IN THE FRONT END. UPON REMOVING THE TIRES AND REAR BRAKE DRUMS I NOTICED THE LEFT FRONT BRAKE PADS AND THE RIGHT REAR BRAKE SHOES SHOWED EXCESSIVE WEAR. I KNOW THAT COMBINATION DISK/DRUM BRAKES USE A PROPORTIONING VALVE TO ADJUST HYDRAULIC PRESSURE. I ALSO KNOW THAT NEWER SYSTEMS ARE DUAL CIRCUIT WITH ONE FRONT AND ONE REAR WHEEL ON EACH CIRCUIT. I FEEL MY PROPORTIONING VALVE IS EITHER MISADJUSTED OR MALFUNCTIONING APPLYING GREATER PRESSURE TO ONE CIRCUIT OVER THE OTHER. THIS COULD CAUSE SWERVING OR A SPIN OUT UNDER HEAVY BRAKING SITUATIONS. *TR

WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED WOULD ROLL DOWN WINDOW AND HEAD LIGHTS WOULD DIM. BLOWER FOR HEATER AND DEFROSTER WOULD CUT IN AND OUT. THERE WAS A DISTINCT ODOR WHEN USING DEFROSTER AND THEN IT QUIT ALL TOGETHER. THIS WAS DURING WINTER WHICH MADE THE TRUCK UN-DRIVABLE UNTIL REPAIRED. 10-14 DAY AFTER THE BLOWER MOTOR WAS REPLACED THE OIL SENDING UNIT STOPPED WORKING AND ALL WARNING LIGHTS WERE LITE UP. THE DEALER SHIP STATED THAT IT WAS A KNOW ISSUE WITH THE WIRING HARNESS AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED WHICH WAS NOT CHEAP. THEY DID SAY EVEN THOUGH IT IS A KNOW ISSUE THAT WE WERE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE COST OF REPAIR. *TR
I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE TWO DOOR LOCKS ON THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR SINCE PURCHASE THIS VEHICLE BRAND NEW. I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE LOST FUNCTION OF THE AIR CONTROL UNIT AND THEN RESET MONTHS LATER. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE IN ONCE TO PROGRAM THE COMPUTER AND AIR CONTROL UNIT, WHICH HAS GONE OUT TWICE AND THEN RETURNED BACK TO THE CORRECT FUNCTIONAL AIR SETTING MONTHS LATER AFTER SUPPOSEDLY PROGRAMED WHILE UNDER WARRANTY. JUST RECENTLY IT HAS STARTED TO GIVE ME A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WHICH STATES THE IGNITION SWITCH IS HAVING THE WRONG KEY, AND THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN GIVING ME OTHER WARNINGS WITH TRACTION CONTROL, CHECK GAS CAP, AND THE RADIO TIME CLOCK RESETS ITSELF. I HAD TO REPLACE A BATTERY IN THIS VEHICLE IN IT'S 3RD YEAR. IS THIS VEHICLE IN TROUBLE AS ALL THE OTHER PROBLEMS GENERAL MOTORS HAVE HAD??? *TR
I NOTICED WHEN I GOT INTO MY VEHICLE THAT THERE WAS A CRACK ON THE PASSENGER SIDE DASH, RIGHT ABOVE THE AIRBAG. THIS CAN'T BE SAFE! IF THE AIRBAG WERE TO DEPLOY, THEN WHAT IS TO STOP THE REST OF THE DASH TO EXPLODE APART LIKE SHRAPNEL CAUSING INJURY TO SOME IN THE VEHICLE. I AM AFRAID FOR MY PASSENGERS SAFETY! ABOUT A WEEK LATER FOUND ANOTHER CRACK ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE OF THE DASH. I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH AND THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF OTHERS WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEMS! ALSO, THEIR PICTURES POSTED ON SOCIAL MEDIA SHOW THE CRACKS ARE IN THE SAME LOCATIONS AS THAT OF MY DASH. I HONESTLY BELIEVE THAT THIS PROBLEM IS DUE TO POOR DESIGN AND CHEAP CONSTRUCTED PARTS. GM SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE AND RECTIFY THESE ISSUES BEFORE SOMEONE GETS INJURED OR EVEN WORSE. HERE IS A LINK TO THE SOCIAL MEDIA GROUP PAGE WHICH IS ONLY ABOUT THIS ISSUE: [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATE 70 MPH, THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE WHEEL FELL OFF. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO SAFELY MERGE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE WHEEL BEARING AND ROTOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 78,000.
I WAS TAKING MY DAUGHTER TO THE STORE WHEN I TRIED TO HIT MY BRAKES THE PEDAL WENT STRAIGHT TO THE FIRE WALL. WE WERE ABLE TO STOP USING THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. I TOOK IT TO A GARAGE AND WAS TOLD ALL OF MY LINES WERE CORRODED THROUGH AND THAT THE MASTER CYLINDER WAS BAD TO. I LEFT IT THERE TO BE REPAIRED WITH THE FINAL COST OF APPROX. 675.00$ . IS GM OFFERING ANY ASSISTANCE FOR THIS PREMATURE BRAKE LINE FAILURE?? OR DO THIRTEEN PEOPLE HAVE TO DIE FIRST?? *TR
WHILE DRIVING ALONG ROADWAY AND APPROACHING INTERSECTION I APPLIED THE BRAKES NORMALLY TO SLOW DOWN AND STOP MY TRUCK. THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. THE TRUCK DID STOP AND I SAW FLUID UNDER THE TRUCK. I DROVE CAREFULLY TO THE SERVICE STATION AND HAD THE ENTIRE BRAKE SYSTEM INSPECTED. THE MECHANIC DETERMINED ALL THE BRAKE LINES WERE SEVERELY RUSTED AND WOULD NEED REPLACEMENT. THIS WAS ACCOMPLISHED AT THE COST OF $2,300.00 TO ME. *TR
DEFECTIVE EXHAUST MANIFOLD BOLTS. THE BOLT HEADS ARE BREAKING OFF OF MY 2007 CHEVY SILVERADO CREW CAB TRUCK. THIS IS A WELL MAINTAINED LIGHTLY USED TRUCK I USE FOR WORK. AFTER DISCOVERING THE PROBLEM, I WENT TO THE INTERNET TO SEARCH SOLUTIONS ON THIS PROBLEM AND THAT'S HOW I FOUND OUT THAT THIS IS A VERY BIG PROBLEM WITH THIS TRUCK ENGINE. THERE IS NO TSB ON THIS OR A RECALL, BUT THERE SHOULD BE, ENGINES AFFECTED ARE ALL V-8'S FROM 4.8L, 5.3L, AND 6.0L. VERY EXPENSIVE REPAIR THAT SHOULDN'T HAVE HAPPENED IN THE FIRST PLACE. *JS
WHILE MY FAMILY AND I WERE TOWING OUR CAMPER TO START OUR VACATION, WE WERE TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY. TRAFFIC HAD STARTED TO STOP SO I STEPPED ON THE BRAKES AND THE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. THANKS TO QUICK THINKING I PUT ON THE TRAILER BRAKES TO GET US TO STOP IN TIME! AFTER PULLING OVER TO FIND THE PROBLEM I NOTICED THE BRAKE LINE WAS BLOWN OUT DUE TO CORROSION AND WAS LEAKING BRAKE FLUID ALL OVER THE ENGINE. *TR
WHEN I AM APPLYING THE BRAKES, AT ABOUT 10 MPH, THE ABS KICKS ON AND KEEPS THE TRUCK FROM STOPPING. THE DRIVING CONDITIONS HAVEN'T MATTERED. THE ROADS ARE DRY AND THERE IS NO INDICATION ON THE DASH THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM. IT IS HAPPENING PRETTY CONSISTENTLY AT SLOW SPEEDS.IT SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH THE ABS SPEED SENSOR ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. *TR

THE VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING ON HOLSEY ROAD APPROACHING THE INTERSECTION OF HOLSEY ROAD AND RIDGE ROAD. THE BRAKES SUDDENLY FAILED WHEN DEPRESSED TO STOP THE VEHICLE, AND THE PEDAL WENT DOWN TO THE FLOOR WITH NO BRAKE CONTROL. THE BRAKES HAD BEEN WORKING PERFECTLY BEFORE THE INCIDENT, AND THERE WAS NO WARNING OF AN IMPENDING FAILURE. *TR
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET SILVERADO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE RADIO FAILED TO WORK INTERMITTENTLY WHICH PREVENTED THE GAUGES TO ILLUMINATE ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE RADIO NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 37,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 39,000. UPDATED 08/27/14*LJ THE CONSUMER STATED THE SEAT BELT AND THE DOOR CHIME DOES NOT OPERATE. UPDATED 09/17/2014 *JS
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET SILVERADO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE BRAKES FAILED. THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS FULLY DEPRESSED AND THE VEHICLE FAILED TO STOP. THE EMERGENCY BRAKE HAD TO BE ENGAGED IN ORDER TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE BRAKE LINE WAS RUSTED.

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
BRAKE LINES STARTED BLOWING AT DIFFERENT PLACES DUE TO RUST . I HAD TO REPLACE THEM ALL.I WORK WITH OTHER PEOPLE WHO ALL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM,COULD THE BRAKE LINES BE MADE OF FAULTY MATERIAL. *TR
CRACKS WITH SHARP EDGES AROUND PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG AND DASH. *TR
MY TRUCK IS EXPERIENCING A MUSHY BRAKE PEDAL ISSUE. WHEN I FIRST APPLY THE BRAKES THE VEHICLES RESPONDS NORMALLY. AS I CONTINUE CONSISTENT PRESSURE THE PEDAL LOSES RESISTANCE AND BEGINS TO FADE. AT SLOW SPEEDS ON LEFT HAND TURNS THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKES ATTEMPT TO ENGAGE. YOU HEAR A NOISE ASSOCIATED WITH THIS BUT DO NOT FEEL ANY VIBRATIONS IN THE PEDAL. I HAVE INSPECTED THE BRAKE LINES AND FOUND NO OBVIOUS FAILURES. I HAVE BLED THE BRAKES. THE FLUID IS AT NORMAL LEVELS. THE PROBLEM PERSISTS. *TR
VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN HEAD ON COLLISION THAT TOTALED IT. OTHER VEHICLE WAS AN OLDER MODEL VAN, DO NOT KNOW EXTENT OF DAMAGES TO IT. MY CONCERN IS THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY WAS TOLD BY GM THAT CRASH DID NOT MEET CRITERIA FOR DEPLOYMENT!!!!! A HEAD ON COLLISION AT 50 MPH THAT TOTALED 2500 SERIES CHEVY TRUCK. HARD FOR ME TO BELIEVE I NOW OWN A 2008 CHEVY 1500 SERIES , DO I NEED TO CONCERNED? *TR
SAFETY CONCERN WITH CRACKS IN DASH AROUND PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. *TR
2007 CHEVROLET SILVERADO. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES, WHILE DRIVING. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM, WAS A BROKEN SERPENTINE BELT.
VARIOUS INTERMITTENT DRIVEABILITY CONDITIONS - HESITATION, LACK OF POWER, ETC. CURRENT MILEAGE 73,000. *TR
ON IMPACT TO FRONT END OF MY VEHICLE THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE AIR BAGS ON THE OTHER VEHICLE DID DEPLOY. HOW CAN I BE SURE MY AIRBAGS ARE FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. THERE IS ABOUT $9,000 DAMAGE TO MY VEHICLE. I AM SENDINGAGAIN BECAUSE I AM NOT CERTAIN THE FIRST ONE WENT THROUGH. *TR
ABS DOES NOT WORK, LIGHT IS ON THE DASH. AIRBAG LIGHTS ARE ON THE DASH AND NOT SURE IF THEY ARE WORKING, TAILGATE DOES NOT LATCH CLOSED. KEY DOES NOT ALWAYS WANT TO TURN AND WE NEED TO MOVE IT BACK AND FORTH BEFORE IT WILL START THE VEHICLE. *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!
MULTIPLE OCCURRENCES. CLOCK RESETS ITSELF. TURNED KEY TO START, NO DASH LIGHTS, NO NOTHING..I RETRIED AFTER A COUPLE OF MINUTES, IT STARTED. FUEL PUMP STOPPED WORKING, NO POWER TO IT I WAS TOLD. FUEL PUMP WAS NEW 2/10/13. THEY REPLACED THE FUEL CONTROL MODULE 4/18/2013. CONNECTIONS WERE CLEANED AND RESET. THIS ALL WORKED FINE UNTIL 3/12/2014. SAME SITUATIONS STARTED AGAIN. BUT AS BEFORE IT WOULD ALWAYS EVENTUALLY START. SAME DIAGNOSIS, FUEL CONTROL MODULE AND A SOME OTHER EXPENSIVE STUFF. 3 WEEKS AGO IT DIDN'T START, WOULD GRIND WITH NO FIRE. FUEL PUMP ISN'T GETTING POWER. I'M DEAD IN THE WATER. ONE OF MY SONS WORKS AS A CARPENTER, WELDER AND SHIPPING SPECIALIST FOR A CLASSIFIED GOVERNMENT FACILITY. THIS FACILITY HAS TOP NOTCH MECHANICS TO DO ALL THEIR MAINTENANCE INCLUDING AUTOS, GOING OUTSIDE OF THE FACILITY IS NOT AN OPTION. THESE MECHANICS HAVE 7 CHEVY 1500S OF VARIOUS YEARS THEY HAVE TO KEEP RUNNING. THEY'VE OFFERED THAT ALL OF THEIR TRUCKS HAD THE SAME ISSUES AS MINE AT ONE TIME. FOR THE FIRST 2 THEY DID THE MODULE REPLACEMENT STUFF JUST LIKE I DID. JUST LIKE MINE THOSE FIXES WENT SOUTH AGAIN. WHAT THEY DID THEN WAS TO CHANGE OUT THE ENTIRE IGNITION MODULE WITH AN IMPROVED VERSION. THEY'VE DONE IT FOR ALL 7 VEHICLES AS THE ISSUES OCCURRED, ALL ARE NOW WORKING WELL, SOME FOR YEARS. I'M TRYING THAT NEXT. THERE MAY BE SOME SECURITY ITEMS TO FIX. IT SEEMS TO SIMPLE TO ME, BUT AS I LOOK AT ALL OF THE INTERFACES OF THE VEHICLE WITH THE IGNITION MODULE, I'M GIVING IT A SHOT. BY THE WAY BATTERY CONNECTIONS ARE GOOD, GROUNDS ARE GOOD, FUSES ARE GOOD, I HAVE A BASIC 2007, MANUAL WINDOWS AND NO REMOTE STUFF. IF THEY'LL LET ME I'LL POST THE RESULTS. *TR
I HAVE BEEN HAVING A PROBLEM WITH EXTERIOR DOOR HANDLES BREAKING OFF. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME 3 TIMES ON MY 2007 CHEVY SILVERADO PICK UP TRUCK. IF YOU NEED TO PULL A LITTLE HARD ON THE DOOR HANDLE TO OPEN THE DOOR BECAUSE IT HAS SNOW OR ICE ON IT (OR IT IS JUST LOCKED), IT BREAKS OFF. THE HANDLES ARE MADE OF PLASTIC. MY SAFETY CONCERN IS THIS: IF I AM IN AN ACCIDENT AND UNABLE TO OPEN THE DOOR MYSELF, A RESCUE PERSON MAY GRAB THE HANDLE A LITTLE TOO HARD AND IT BREAKS OFF, THUS THEY WILL BE UNABLE TO GET ME OUT OF THE CAR QUICKLY. I HAVE ASK GM IF THERE WERE ANY RECALLS ON THIS AND THEY SAID NO. LIKE I SAID I HAVE REPLACED THE HANDLES 3 TIMES AND THE TRUCK HAS LESS THAN 50000 MILES ON IT. *TR
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS 2007 CHEVROLET SILVERADO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE LIGHTS ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL ILLUMINATED INDEPENDENTLY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS RECURRING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000.
2007 CHEVY SILVERADO BRAKE LINES RUSTED OUT. LUCKILY I WASN'T DRIVING. NOTICED WHILE CAR WAS PARKED. OIL ALL OVER THE GROUND. CHEVY CHARGED ME 480 FOR NEW BRAKE LINES. RIDICULOUS. I HAVE HAD CARS 20 YEARS OLD AND LINES NEVER RUSTED. DEALER ADMITTED THEY AREN'T STAINLESS STEEL FROM FACTORY. PEOPLE CAN DIE FROM THIS IF THEY ARE DRIVING, LINES LEAK, THEY HAVE NO BRAKES. *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
WHILE DRIVING AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS DOOR LOCKS WILL CYCLE ON AND OFF, EXTERIOR LIGHTS AND DASH DISPLAY WILL GO OFF, WIPERS WILL FREEZE, ALL GAUGES WILL GO ZERO AND TWO OR THREE WARNING LIGHTS WILL COME ON SUCH AS STABILITRAK, ABS BRAKES OR SERVICE AIR BAGS. LIGHTS ETC WILL GO OFF FOR 5 SECONDS WHICH IS DANGEROUS. I TOOK IT TO STEWART CHEVROLET IN COLMA ON 2/3/14, THEY WERE ABLE TO DUPLICATE PROBLEM ON ROAD TESTS BUT WERE UNABLE TO GUARANTEE A FIX IF THEY REPLACED THE BODY CONTROL MODULE OR APPLIED TSB 08-07-30-0216 DOC ID# 2776388. HOW DO I GET THIS SAFETY ISSUE ADDRESSED? *TR

DOORS CONTINUOUSLY LOCKING/UNLOCKING, ALL DASH LIGHTS CONTINUOUSLY TURNING ON/OFF, CLOCK RESET ITSELF TO 12:00, ENGINE CUTTING IN/OUT WHICH ALSO RESULTED IN THE LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES, ALL OF WHICH OCCURRED WHILE AT FREEWAY SPEED. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE APPROXIMATELY A YEAR AND A HALF AGO FROM A CHEVROLET DEALER IN SACRAMENTO, CA. SINCE I'VE OWNED THE VEHICLE THERE HAVE BEEN MULTIPLE OCCURRENCES OF THE CLOCK RESETTING ITSELF TO 12:00, COMPLETE POWER LOSS WHEN ATTEMPTING TO START THE VEHICLE. *JS

AUTONATION TOYOTA IN ARLINGTON, TX FAILED TO TIGHTEN ONE OF MY WHEELS AFTER SERVICING IT. I WAS TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 70MPH WHEN MY WHEEL BECAME TOTALLY DISCONNECTED FROM THE ROTOR.

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. WAS CALLED BACK AND TOLD THEY COULD NOT HELP AND TO REPORT THIS TO NHTSA. *TR

WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS THE INTERIOR LIGHTS BEGAN FLICKERING ON THE DASH AND IN THE CABIN. 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

SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON, LOOKED IN OWNERS MANUAL AND IT ADVISED TO GET IT SERVICED. I CALLED THE LOCAL CHEVY DEALER WHO ADVISED ME JUST TO DRIVE IT, "THAT'S COMMON" I WAS TOLD. FAR CRY FROM THE HAZARDS THE BOOK EXPLAINS. IS THERE A RECALL ON THE 2007? NOT IMPRESSED! *TR
I APPLIED THE BRAKES OF MY 07" CHEVY SILVERADO CLASSIC IN A PARKING LOT, THE TRUCK STOPPED AND THEN THE BRAKES WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. GOT THE TRUCK HOME, AND SOON FOUND A POOL OF BRAKE FLUID ON THE GROUND UNDER THE LEFT REAR WHEEL. I WAS ABLE TO GET THE TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP WITH ALMOST NO STOPPING POWER. DIAGNOSIS - BRAKE LINE FAILURE. THE BRAKE LINES HAD DETERIORATED AND HAVE BEGUN FALLING APART. THE SOLUTION - A $2,400 BRAKE LINE REPLACEMENT JOB (ACTUAL PART COST $100). THE JOB IS APPARENTLY EXTREMELY LABOR INTENSIVE. IS GM DOING ANYTHING ABOUT THIS? MY TRUCK IS 7 YEARS OLD AND SHOULD NOT HAVE THE MAJOR BRAKING SYSTEM FAILURE PROBLEM THAT I AM EXPERIENCING. *TR
PLASTIC DASH HAS CRACKED NEAR AIR BAG. COULD LEAD TO SHARP PLASTIC PIECES FROM DASH BEING SENT INTO PASSENGER COMPARTMENT WHEN AIR BAG DEPLOYS. *TR

IT HAS NOT HAPPENED YET BUT ALL BRAKE LINES UNDER TRUCK ARE CORRODED REAL BAD.I AM WORRIED THAT I WILL LOOSE BRAKES AT ANYTIME.I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE STEERING BOX AND POWER STEERING PUMP BECAUSE OF RUST.I ONLY HAVE 48000 MILES ON TRUCK,WHY IS THIS HAPPENING? *TR
SELECTED ADAPTIVE EQUIPMENT AND SUSPENSION AND BODY BECAUSE THERE IS NO PLACE TO ADD TAILGATE AND THAT IS WHERE HE PROBLEM IS - GEEZ - THAT PART MAKES NO SENESE AT ALL. *TR TAILGATE LOCK ON RIDERS SIDE OF VEHICLE DOES NOT ENGAGE PROPERLY. 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.
LATCH FAILED WOULD NOT LATCH. IF I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT I COULD HAVE INJURED .I WOULD THINK THE SEAT BELTS WOULD LAST LONGER THAN 5 YEARS. *TR
GM HAS A DESIGN AND/OR MANUFACTURING FLAW IN THE TRANSMISSION LINES ON THE 2500HD. I HAVE HAD MINE REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY ONCE, AND NEED TO HAVE THEM REPLACED AGAIN. THEY ONLY LEAK IN COLD WEATHER WHEN THE RUBBER IN THE LINE SHRINKS AT THE CRIMP CAUSING THEM TO LEAK. THE DANGER HERE IS THE FIRE POTENTIAL. DUE TO THE DIESEL REGENERATION PROCESS THAT BURNS OFF THE DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER AND THE HEATS IT TO EXTREME TEMPERATURES THIS HAS A POTENTIAL FIRE RISK. GM REFUSES TO ADDRESS THE LEAKY TRANSMISSION LINES. THERE ARE MULTIPLE ACCOUNTS OF THIS ISSUE, ON SEVERAL YEAR MODELS OF DURMAX PICKUPS, ON THE INTERNET. ADDITIONAL CONCERNS HERE ARE HOW ACIDIC TRANSMISSION OIL IS. IT ALSO HAS POTENTIAL TO DETERIORATE RUBBER STEERING COMPONENTS BOOTS BALL JOINT COVERS, ETC. THIS IS SAFETY CONCERN. *TR
WHILE DRIVING TO WORK, CERTAIN ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN. THE COMPONENTS CONSISTS OF THE RADIO, ALL DASH GAUGES, ETC. IN ADDITION, SEVERAL DIFFERENT SERVICE WARNINGS WILL START FLASHING INCLUDING WHICH WILL INCLUDE "SERVICE AIR BAG", "SERVICE TIRE MONITOR, "SERVICE ENGINE", ETC. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME TWICE, ONCE AT 150,000 MILES AND JUST TODAY AT 153,000. *TR
SILVERADO 2007 TRUCK CRACKS JUST KEEP APPEARING IN DASH IN AIRBAG SECTION FOR NO REASON. TRUCK IS PARKED IN GARAGE 80 PERCENT OF TIME.

DEFECTIVE BRAKE LINES EXCESSIVE RUST DESTRUCTION OF METAL LINES NO OTHER RUST ON VEHICLE LINE TO REAR BRAKES CORRODED AT FUEL TANK AREA BOTH LINES FROM MASTER CYL. TO ABS BLOCK BROKE OFF AT WHEEL WELL LEFT FRONT THIS TRUCK WAS IN BACK YARD FOR TWO WEEKS WAIT FOR TITLE TRANSFER RUSTED THROUGH JUST SITTING THERE GM DOES NOT HAVE REPLACEMENT BRAKE LINES IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT ALL CHEVY GMC FORD HAVE SAME ISSUE WITH BRAKE LINE RUSTING THRU I AM A MECHANIC THIS IS SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. *TR
WHILE TRAVELING AT ABOUT 25 MPH A LIGHT APPLICATION OF THE BRAKE WAS FOLLOWED BY THE BRAKE PEDAL GOING COMPLETELY TO THE FLOOR. AN INVESTIGATION REVEALED A RUPTURED BRAKE LINE IN THE AREA OF THE BRAKE CONTROL VALVE. AFTER BEING TOWED TO THE DEALER I WAS ADVISED THAT ALL THE BRAKE LINES WERE SEVERELY CORRODED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I BOUGHT THE TRUCK NEW AND WAS VERY CONCERNED TO FIND THAT MY BRAKE LINES HAD FAILED WITH ONLY 82,800 MILES ON THE TRUCK AND ONLY 6 YEARS OLD. BRAKE LINES SHOULD LAST THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE. THIS WAS A SERIOUS LIFE THREATENING FAILURE. *TR
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
THE DASHBOARD ON MY 2007 (NEW BODY STYLE) CHEVY SILVERADO LS, 4.3L HAS CRACKED, RANDOMLY, RIGHT ABOVE THE PASSENGER AIR BAG. THERE WAS NOTHING TO CAUSE THIS CRACK, IT JUST APPEARED. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH, MANY OTHER GM OWNERS, RANGING FROM SILVERADOS TO TAHOES TO ESCALDES, ALSO HAVE CRACKS IN THEIR DASH, IN THE SAME SPOT, SOME WORSE THAN OTHERS. MY MAIN CONCERN IS IT CRACKING MORE, AND ALSO IF THE PASSENGER AIRBAG WERE TO DEPLOY, THE POSSIBILITY OF THE DASH BREAKING APART AND POSSIBLY THROWING SHARDS OF PLASTIC AT ME OR PASSENGER. NOT ONLY IS THE SAFETY AN ISSUE, BUT THE APPEARANCE IS AN ISSUE, SINCE ITS A RATHER LARGE CRACK, IT LOOKS UNSIGHTLY. THANKS FOR YOUR TIME, HOPEFULLY SOMETHING CAN BE DONE ABOUT THIS POPULAR DEFECT THAT HASN'T BEEN ADDRESSED BY GM YET. *TR

I OFFER SAME COMPLAINT AS FILED UNDER NHTSA ID# 10485141.A SERVICE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT CAME ON IN MY 2007 CHEVROLET SILVERADO TRUCK. I WENT TO THE DEALER WHO SOLD IT TO ME TO HAVE IT SERVICED & WAS TOLD THE RIGHT FRONT IMPACT SENSOR WAS CORRODED & HAD TO BE REPLACED. THIS WAS A SAFETY ISSUE, AND STATED TO DEALER THAT GM SHOULD COVER THE COST OF REPAIR. THE DEALER SAID NO & THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL ON RECORD.I AGREE COMPLETELY WITH THE COMMENTS PROVIDED UNDER ABOVE-REFERENCED COMPLIANT: "I CALLED GM & WAS TOLD THAT THIS WAS AN ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUE & THE SALT AIR IN MY AREA CAUSED THE CORROSION AND GM WAS NOT RESPONSIBLE. I TOLD THE PERSON THAT I WAS TALKING TO THAT APPARENTLY GM MUST BE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM IF THEY KNOW THAT THE SALT AIR CORRODES THE SENSORS. I MENTIONED THE FACT THAT SINCE THERE IS A PROBLEM THAT THE AIR BAG COULD POSSIBLE INFLATE WHILE DRIVING & 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 GM,SAID LOOKED INTO COMPLAINT & SINCE IT WAS AN ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUE GM 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 GM. 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." THIS IS A POTENTIALLY SERIOUS SITUATION. PLEASE INVESTIGATE. JHB *TT

MY OWN PROBLEM WITH MY VEHICLE IS ON THE LIST OF COMPLAINTS AS I HAVE ALREADY FILED A COMPLAINT WITH NHTSA, BUT TO NO AVAIL.THE GM MANUFACTURES HAVE SOLD THE CONSUMER A BILL OF GOODS. FROM READING THE LIST OF COMPLAINTS IT LEADS ONE TO THE CONCLUSION THAT THE CONSUMER HAS PURCHASED A PILE OF JUNK.THE QUALITY OF THE VEHICLES ARE BASED ON THE QUALITY OF PARTS PUT INTO THE VEHICLE WHEN IT IS PUT TOGETHER. THE AUTO COMPANIES ARE GETTING AWAY WITH HIGHWAY ROBBERY, WHEN THEY PURCHASE LOW QUALITY PARTS, PASSING THE PROBLEMS ONTO THE CONSUMER, AND NOT STANDING BEHIND THEIR WORKMANSHIP.WE AS CONSUMERS HAVE A RIGHT TO BE PROTECTED FROM SHODDY WORKMANSHIP,AND AS I SEE IT,WE ARE NOT GETTING OUR MONEYS WORTH.

DEFECT IN MY 2007 CHEVROLET SILVERADO AS REPORTED BY GM IN A LETTER RECENTLY RECEIVED. RECALL INITIATED IN CANADA, WHY HAS NHTSA NOT ISSUED ONE IN US. GM STATES MY 2007 TRUCK IS DEFECTIVE AND THE "INTERFACE BETWEEN THE ELECTRICAL TERMINALS ON THE RELAY RESISTOR MODULE AND THE WIRING CONNECTOR THAT POWERS THE MODULE MAY BE INCAPABLE OF CONDUCTING HIGHER CURRENT LEVELS FOR SUSTAINED PERIODS OF THE BLOWER MOTOR OPERATION.... THUS CAN CAUSE OVERHEATING WHICH WILL CAUSE THE BLOWER MOTOR NOT TO OPERATE AND CAN BE ACCOMPANIED BY A BURNING SMELL OR SMOKE." BASICALLY MY CAR CAN CATCH FIRE. *TR

THE FRONT WHEEL HUBS AND BEARINGS, INCLUDING WHEEL SPEED SENSORS, ARE FAILING ON THESE PICKUPS. THIS IS, APPARENTLY, A KNOWN ISSUE AND GM REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. WHY NOT? THIS IS A BLATANT SAFETY ISSUE. *TR
ON MY SILVERADO WITH JUST UNDER 39,000 THE LEFT WHEEL BEARING HAD TO BE REPLACED ON 8/9/11. ON 10/6/11 THE RIGHT SIDE HAD TO BE REPLACED. I CONTACTED CHEVY AND THEY WILL NOT LOOK INTO ANY COMPLAINTS ON THE FAILURE OF THESE WHEEL BEARINGS WITH SUCH LITTLE MILEAGE. BOTH TIMES MY TRUCK HAD TO BE TOWED.

I PURCHASED THE 2007 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER THINKING I WOULD HAVE A GOOD DEPENDABLE CAR, NOT SO. THE STABIL-I TRAC CHECK LIGHT COMES ON AND THEN WHEN THE CAT IS RESTARTED IT GOES OFF. THE GAS GAUGE HAS DROPPED TO EMPTY AND WILL NO LONGER INDICATE FUEL IN TANK, THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL NOTICE ON THIS , HOWEVER GM IS ONLY PAYING FOR 50% OF THE COST OF REPAIR. I HAD AND ACCIDENT ($ 2400.00) DUE TO THIS GAS GAUGE FAILURE, NO ONE HURT BUT COULD HAVE BEEN DISASTROUS. GM WAS NOTIFIED AND A CLAIM FILED AND THE RESULTS WERE THEY WERE NOT AT FAULT. NOW THE LOWBEAM LIGHTING SYSTEM ON THE VEHICLE HAS GONE OUT. I HAVE HAD THE FUSES, SENSOR, AND THE BULBS CHECKED AND NO ONE CAN FIND THE PROBLEM. I AM VERY FRUSTRATED WITH GM AND THE FACT THAT THE CARS THEY PRODUCE NOW ARE SUBSTANDARD AND THEY ARE NOT STANDING BEHIND THEIR PRODUCTS.WHERE DO I TURN NOW? I NEED MY VEHICLE. *TR
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. THIS IS THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM DESCRIBED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER 05V37900 ISSUED FOR 1999-2002 CHEVROLET SILVERADOS FOR WHICH A RECALL WAS ISSUED ON 8/30/2005. *TR
ANTI LOCK BRAKES COME ON AT A SLOW STOP ..ABOUT 2 OR 3 MPH...AND THE TRUCK WANTS TO NOT STOP... I FOUND A T B S ...03-05-25-007D AND 007C SHOULD BE A RECALL AS A BAD SAFETY ITEM........ *TR
I HAVE MARKED POWER TRAIN AND ELECTRICAL SINCE BOTH ARE INVOLVED. I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK WHEN MY TRUCK MESSAGE CENTER INDICATED (REDUCED ENGINE POWER) . THIS IS DANGEROUS WHEN MY VEHICLE IS IMPEDED FROM ACCELERATING AND SLOWING DOWN TO NO MORE THEN 20 - 25 MILES PER HOUR. SINCE I COULD OF INTERFERED WITH THE TRAFFIC AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT OR BODILY INJURY TO OTHERS. A RECALL SHOULD BE MADE SINCE I HAVE NOTICED A LOT OF OTHER VEHICLES HAVE THE SAME SCENARIO. *TR

THE A/C FAN QUIT. IT SMELLED LIKE BURNING PLASTIC. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO EXIT THE FREEWAY SAFELY AND I HAVE ENOUGH ELECTRICAL KNOWLEDGE I WAS ABLE TO DETERMINE A WAY TO CONTINUE SAFELY. IT WAS A FIRE HAZARD WAITING TO HAPPEN INSIDE THE CAB. THE RESISTOR WAS EXTREMELY HOT AND THE WIRING HARNESS WAS MELTED. THERE WERE NO BLOWN FUSES. I PULLED FUSES TO REDUCE THE CHANCE OF FIRE. I HAVE PREVIOUSLY ATTEMPTED TO DEAL WITH THE CHEVROLET DEALER NEAREST DFW, TX AIRPORT AND GM OVER MY BAD ENGINE BLOCK (ALSO REPORTED ON THIS FORUM) AND ........ SO I AM OUT THE MONEY FOR THIS FIRE HAZARD TOO. THIS IS THE LAST GM PRODUCT I WILL EVER OWN. *TR
SMELLED SOMETHING BURNING BUT COULDN'T FIND WHERE IT WAS COMING FROM UNTIL RECENTLY WHEN MY A/C BLOWER MOTOR STOPPED WORKING. FOUND THE BLOWER RESISTOR CONNECTOR HAD MELTED AND 3 OF THE 7 WIRES THE HARNESS HAD BURNT FOR APPROXIMATELY 6 INCHES. THIS COULD BE A MAJOR FIRE HAZARD. *TR
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

U HAVE TO BUY WHOLE NEW SOLENOID VENT SYSTEM AND ADD 5/8 HEATER HOSE TO RERUN THE VENT SO DIRT,DUST AND DEBRIS IS HARDER TO ENTER THE VENT. THEY SAY ITS A FLAW IN DESIGN SO GM REDESIGNED IT AND THIS IS HOW TO FIX IT. IF THEY KNOW ITS A BAD DESIGN THEN THEY SHOULD PAY FOR IT TO BE REPLACED WITH THEIR NEW DESIGN. *TR

I HAVE A 2007 CHEVY SILVERADO AND THE GAS GAUGE HAS BEEN ACTING UP FOR ABOUT A YEAR NOW. I CAN FILL THE TRUCK ALL THE WAY UP WITH GAS, DRIVE IT HOME FROM THE GAS STATION(7 MILES) AND THE GAS GAUGE WILL BE READING ABOUT 3/4 TANK. WHEN I GO TO DRIVE IT THE NEXT DAY IT READS 1/2 TANK THEN BY THE TIME I GET TO THE INTERSTATE (15 MILES AWAY) IT WILL BE BETWEEN 3/4 AND FULL.

AIR CONDITIONING JUST QUITS. CHECK FUSES OKAY. TOOK TRUCK TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY CHARGED $656.27 TO FIX A SHORT IN THE BLOWER RESISTOR RESULTING IN CONNECTOR MELTING AND BLOWER FAILURE. 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. CALLED GM OR CHEVROLET, HAVE ALL EMAILS OF PERSONNEL I HAVE CONTACTED IN REGARDS TO THIS ISSUE.

THE AIR BAG SYSTEM ON CHEVROLETS TEND TO NEED SERVICE WORK EARLY AND IF THE SYSTEM IS THAT SENSITIVE, THE BAGS COULD DEPLOY. THIS COULD CAUSE ACCIDENTS OR PERSONAL INJURY. IT SEEMS CHEVROLET HAS CONSTRUCTED THIS SYSTEM TO FAIL FOR HOPES OF COLLECTING REPAIR MONEY. *TR

I AM GETTING A NOTICEABLE VIBRATION IN THE DRIVE TRAIN AT ABOUT 45 MPH. IT FINALLY SUBSIDES AT AROUND 55 MPH. I HAVE HAD THE OIL LEVEL CHECKED IN THE TRANSMISSION AND THE REAR END OIL CHECKED. ALL IS OK IN THOSE AREAS. CONTACTED A LOCAL CHEVROLET DEALER AND EXPLAINED THE SITUATION ON THE PHONE AND I WAS TOLD THAT IS WAS NORMAL FOR THAT MAKE, MODEL AND DRIVE TRAIN. ALSO HAD THE UNDERSIDE OF THE VEHICLE CHECKED TO SEE IF THERE WAS ANYTHING LOOSE THAT MIGHT CAUSE THE PROBLEM ESPECIALLY THE EXHAUST SYSTEM AND ALL IS OK. NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM BEFORE. JUST STARTED. CHEVROLET WON'T BOTHER WITH IT.
ABS SENSOR READS INCORRECTLY AND TRIGGERS THE ABS SYSTEM TO KICK IN EVERY TIME THE BRAKES ARE USED, CAUSING THE BRAKE PEDAL TO RUMBLE AND GIVING THE SENSATION OF BRAKE FAILURE WHEN THE PEDAL GOES SOFT UNDER YOUR FOOT. THIS IS WORSE WHEN TURNING LEFT. EXTRA DISTANCE IS REQUIRED FOR BRAKING AT ALL TIMES. ABS WARNING LIGHT COMES ON AT RANDOM TIMES FOR NO APPARENT REASON.

HEATER BLOWER FAN CONTROL RELAY PLUG LOCATED UNDER THE PASSENGER SIDE DASH BOARD. WHEN FAN IS ON HIGH SETTING THE PLUG AND WIRES OVERHEAT AND START TO BURN/MELT AND FAN RELAY CLICKS OFF. I INSPECTED THE PLUG AND HAVE SEEN MELTED/BARE WIRES ALSO BURNT PLASTIC ON THE PLUG. AFTER DOING SOME ONLINE RESEARCH I NOTICED A LOT OF CHEVY OWNERS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH OTHER CHEVY MODELS AND YEARS AND THIS HAS LED TO MANY VEHICLE FIRES. I HAVE ALSO LEARNED THAT CHEVY HAD A SAFETY BULLETIN OUT ON THIS FOR THE DEALERS BUT THEY HAVE FAILED TO INFORM THE CAR AND TRUCK OWNERS I HAVE CONTACTED SEVERAL CHEVY DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENTS WHO ARE VERY AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD THAT THIS IS NOT COVERED BY CHEVROLET AND THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY AROUND $90.00 JUST FOR A DIAGNOSES INSPECTION AND ADDITIONAL MONEY FOR THE REPAIR.
THE ABS COMES ON AT SPEEDS OF 7MPH AND 3 MPH ON MY 2007 CHEVY SILVERADO. I LIVE IN PENNSYLVANIA WHICH IS CONSIDERED THE SNOW BELT IN THE NORTH EAST, I HAD A 2000 SILVERADO AND THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE ABS BRAKE SYSTEM AND GM SAYS THERE IS NO RECALL ON MY TRUCKS ABS AND THE PROBLEM IS THE SAME AS THE 2000 WHICH WAS A RECALL IN 2005. *LN
WHEN DRIVING THE TRUCK THE LIGHTS WOULD DIM AND THEN HAVE A LOSS OF POWER. DIDN'T THINK MUCH OF IT UNTIL ONE DAY GETTING OUT OF THE VEHICLE AND SHUTTING IT OFF I WENT TO PUT THE KEY BACK IN THE IGNITION AND THERE WAS NO POWER WHAT SO EVER NO DOME LIGHTS NOTHING... NO CLICKS NO DASH LIGHTS NOTHING. THEN HAD SOMEONE JUMP ME POWER AND TRUCK STARTED RIGHT AWAY. SAME DAY HAD MY BATTERY CHECKED AND ALTERNATOR AND EVERYTHING CAME OUT FINE NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH IT. HAPPENED AGAIN ABOUT A WEEK LATER BUT THIS TIME TRUCK HESITATED WHEN KEY WAS TURNED THEN IT DID NOT START RESET THE CLOCK IN THE TRUCK AND THEN HAD LIGHTS DIMMING EVERYTIME BLINKERS WERE TURNED ON. GOT HOME AND HAD A FEELING TRUCK WOULD NOT START IF I TOOK THE KEY OUT SURE ENOUGH EVERYTHING WAS DEAD WHEN I TRIED TURNING IT BACK ON. HAD TO JUMP IT AGAIN. WHEN THAT HAPPENED I GOT THE BATTERY REPLACED THINKING IT WAS FAULTY. TWO WEEKS WENT BY AND IT WAS FINE THEN AFTER PUNCHING ON THE GAS A LITTLE TO PASS A SEMI THE LOCKS WENT UP AND DOWN REALLY FAST AND HAD LIGHTS DIM AGAIN NO MESSAGE ON THE DASH OR ANYTHING. I GOT HOME AND TRUCK DID NOT START AGAIN. JUMPED IT AGAIN THEN A WEEK LATER GOING TO WORK ON THE FREEWAY THE TRUCK HAD EXTREMELY BAD TREMORS AND THEN THE LOCKS STARTED LOCKING AND UNLOCKING AGAIN THE LIGHTS AND STEREO WERE GOING ON AND OFF AND ABS LIGHT CAME ON AND VEHICLE KEPT GOING INTO NEUTRAL AND DRIVE EVERY OTHER FEW SECONDS WITCH CAUSED A CONCERN FOR MY SAFETY. GOOD THING I WAS ONLY A FEW MILES AWAY FROM HOME. I TURNED AROUND WENT HOME AND SURE ENOUGH TURNED IT OFF PUT THE KEY BACK IN AND NO POWER . EXPLAINED FAILURE TO A DEALERSHIP AND SAID POSSIBILITY WAS THE ECM. AND THEY COULD DO NOTHING UNLESS IT WAS DUPLICATED. *TR
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
ON 10/18/2010 RETURNING HOME FROM VACATION, MY RIGHT FRONT WHEEL ASSEMBLY SUFFERED SEVERE INTERNAL FAILURE. THE DEALER IN SOUTH CAROLINA REPAIRED MY VEHICLE, AND COVERED THE EXPENSE OF THE REPLACEMENT PART AND LABOR UNDER THE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY. THEY ALSO HAD TO REPLACE THE FRONT BRAKE PADS AND RESURFACED THE ROTORS WHICH WERE DAMAGED TO THE SEVERE INTERNAL FAILURE OF THE WHEEL HUB ASSEMBLY. I CAN UNDERSTAND THE MALFUNCTION OF THE PART, IT HAPPENS. BUT, ON 12/17/2010 THE LEFT FRONT WHEEL ASSEMBLY SUFFERED INTERNAL FAILURE, AGAIN THE DEALER COVERED THE EXPENSE OF THE REPLACEMENT PART AND LABOR UNDER THE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY. I BELIEVE THEIR MUST BE A PROBLEM FOR BOTH FRONT WHEEL HUB ASSEMBLIES TO FAIL, I ONLY HAVE UNDER 30,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. THANK YOU.

A NEW BCM WAS PLACED IN THE TRUCK AT A 600$ EXPENSE TO MY SELF, AND THE TRUCK IS FINE NOW. STILL WORRIED ABOUT WHY IT HAPPENED AND WHAT CAUSED IT SO I KNOW IT WON'T HAPPEN GOING DOWN THE ROAD, OR IF I AM IN AN UNSAFE PLACE. *TR

THE PROBLEM WAS PRESENT WHEN I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE. I THOUGHT IT WAS THE SHOCK ABSORBERS ON THE FRONT AND HAD NO DESIRE TO HAVE THE SAME 'CHEAP' SHOCKS REPLACED. UPON MY OBTAINING FOUR KYB BRAND SHOCK ABSORBERS AND INSTALLING THEM, IT BECAME APPARENT TO ME THAT THERE WAS A DIFFERENT PROBLEM. AFTER SOME RESEARCH, I FOUND A 'SERVICE BULLETIN' CONCERNING THE PROBLEM. UPON TALKING TO THE DEALER AND A FACTORY REPRESENTATIVE, I REALIZED THAT THEY DID NOT GIVE A DARN - THEY REFUSE TO REPLACE THE INTERMEDIATE STEERING COLUMN.

2007 CHEVROLET SILVERADO PICKUP TRUCK. CONSUMER WOULD LIKE GM TO BUY BACK TRUCK BECAUSE OF DESIGN FLAWS AND SUSPECTED LEMON *TGW THE CONSUMER STATED ONSTAR ACTIVATED AND STATED THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT. 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

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

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.

AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET AND SPEAKING TO MECHANICS, I FOUND THAT THE RADIO IS NOT CONNECTED TO THE COMPUTER SYSTEM, BUT IS INDEPENDENT.

THIS HAD BEGUN INFREQUENTLY, BUT IS NOW OCCURRING MORE OFTEN, AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK NOW. I HAD THE DEALER LOOK AT IT WHILE STILL UNDER WARRANTY, BUT THEY STATED NO "CODES" WERE SHOWING UP ON THE COMPUTER. WHAT THEY ENDED UP DOING IS GREASING THE ENDS OF THE DRIVE SHAFT, STATING THAT WAS THE PROBLEM. HOWEVER, THIS ISSUE CONTINUES. IT COULD BE A COMPUTER PROGRAM PROBLEM. *TR
STEERING WHEEL VIBRATES WHEN APPLYING BRAKE PEDAL. THIS OCCURS WHEN BRAKING FROM SPEEDS OF 60MPH OR MORE. I HAD THE AGENCY INSPECT THE BRAKE SYSTEM AND ALIGNMENT, WHILE STILL UNDER WARRANTY.

HE GAVE THE SAME ANSWER AND BASICALLY SAID IF THE COMPUTER DOESN'T SHOW A PROBLEM THEN THEIR CANT BE A PROBLEM, AND THEY COULDN'T AFFORD TO BEGIN REPLACING PARTS THAT COULD CAUSE THE PROBLEM.

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. YOUR NOT SAFE. INSURANCE CO PAYS THE VALUE AND BOOK CLOSED. I HAVE NO VEHICLE TO SHOW FOR THOSE 3 YEARS. NO FRAUD NO ARSON AND NO VEHICLE. AND NOTHING DONE. IT'S NOT RIGHT. *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.

THE FIRE DESTROYED THE ENTIRE ENGINE COMPARTMENT ALONG WITH THE CAB AND ALL ITEMS CONTAINED WITHIN. MR. MYRTLE STATED THAT AN OFFICIAL REPORT (#50424) WILL BE FILED BY FIREHOUSE 17. I CONTACTED FARMERS INSURANCE AND CLAIM NUMBER 1015073768 WAS STARTED. FARMERS INSURANCE AGENT SCOTT SELL (913-631-6810) IS THE LOCAL AGENT. VEHICLE IS A TOTAL LOSS. VEHICLE HAD APPROXIMATELY 36,500 MILES AND WAS PURCHASED NEW WITH ALL MAINTENANCE AND RECALL NOTIFICATIONS PERFORMED BY A CHEVROLET DEALER. *TR
MY 2007 SILVERADO HAS THE SAME BRAKE PROBLEM THAT WAS A RECALL ON OLDER MODEL SILVERADO'S. THE NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER FOR THE PREVIOUS RECALL WAS 05V379000. IT APPEARS THE CANADIAN TRANSPORTATION BOARD ORDERED A RECALL FOR THE 2007 MODELS BUT THE NHTSA HAS NOT. IS THIS SOMETHING BEING LOOKED INTO? *TR
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET SILVERADO PURCHASED PRE-OWNED IN 2009. WHILE DRIVING IN REVERSE ATTEMPTING TO PARK THE VEHICLE, HE NOTICED THAT THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR PANEL BEGAN SMOKING. ONCE THE SMOKING CEASED, HE NOTICED THAT ALL OF THE ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS ON THE DOOR FAILED, INCLUDING THE POWER WINDOWS, MIRROR ADJUSTER AND POWER LOCKS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND WOULD NOT ASSUME LIABILITY FOR ANY OF THE REPAIRS. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE UNDER 65,000.
I WAS DRIVING MY 2007 CHEVROLET SILVERADO ON A HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH DURING A LIGHT RAIN SHOWER WHEN THERE WAS A LOUD BANG SOUND SIMILAR TO A SHOT GUN BLAST AND THE SEATBELT PRE-TENSIONERS PULLED MYSELF AND MY PASSENGER HARD BACK INTO THE SEATS. THE HAZARD LIGHTS BEGAN FLASHING IMMEDIATELY AND THE AIRBAG SENSOR LIGHT CAME ON. CONTACTED ONSTAR TO RUN A DIAGNOSTIC AND THEY SHOWED THERE WAS A COLLISION DETECTED WHICH FIRED THE SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONERS. THERE WAS NO COLLISION, NOT EVEN A BUMP IN THE ROAD THAT CAUSED THIS. THIS WAS A VERY STARTLING EVENT THAT EASILY COULD HAVE CAUSED A PANIC REACTION AND AN ACCIDENT. THERE WAS A SMELL OF SPENT GUNPOWDER IN THE CABIN OF THE VEHICLE AFTER THIS OCCURRED. WE UNLATCHED OUR SEAT BELTS TO RELIEVE THE PRESSURE AGAINST OUR BODIES AND NOTICED THEY WOULD NOT RETRACT OR PULL BACK OUT. THEY ARE NOW USELESS. THE INJURY WAS A BRUISE TO MY LEFT COLLAR BONE WHERE THE SEATBELT RETRACTED. THE VEHICLE IS NOW NOT SAFE TO DRIVE SINCE THE SEAT BELTS DON'T WORK AND FOR FEAR OF THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYING. *TR
DRIVING DOWN ROAD AND THOUGHT DRIVER SIDE TIRE HAD BLOWN . WAS ABLE TO STOP ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AROUND A BEND BUT NOT CONTROL THE TRUCK . GOT OUT AND THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE TIRE ,RIM AND BRAKE ROTOR WERE RIPPED AWAY FROM THE HUB. *TR
WHILE DRIVING MY 2007 SILVERADO'S ELECTRICAL SYSTEM SEEMS TO TOTALLY SHUTDOWN JUST FOR AN INSTANT. THIS LAST TIME ON 10/15/09, THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM SHUTDOWN, THEN CAME BACK ON. I PARKED IT SHORTLY AFTER AND DISCOVERED MY ELECTRIC LOCKS DIDN'T WORK SO I TRIED STARING IT, BUT IT WAS DEAD. HAD TO HAVE LOCAL CHEVY DEALER COME JUMP IT AND I TOOK IT DIRECTLY TO THE DEALERSHIP TO INVESTIGATE. IT HAPPENED AGAIN ON THE WAY THERE. OF COURSE, THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND SAID TRUCK CHECKED OUT PERFECTLY. OBVIOUSLY SOMETHING ISN'T RIGHT. I TOOK IT TO A 2ND DEALER THE NEXT AND THEY SAID THE SAME THING. *TR
DRIVERS SEAT BELT LATCH BROKEN AT 36,500 MILES ON 2007 CHEVROLET SILVERADO NEW BODY STYLE REGULAR CAB 4X2 SHORT BED LT, 5.3 L FLEX FUEL ENGINE. DURING REGULAR USE, DRIVERS SEAT BELT LATCH WONT ALLOW BELT TO BE FASTENED. SEAT BELT INDICATOR ON DASH NON OPERATING SINCE FAILURE. CAN PUSH RELEASE AND STICK BELT INTO LATCH THEN RELEASE THE RELEASE BUTTON, BUT SOMETIMES THAT IS VERY DIFFICULT. WHEN RELEASED AND VEHICLE IS STILL RUNNING, DASH INDICATOR IS NON OPERATIONAL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET SILVERADO. IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING BRAKE APPLICATION AT 55 MPH, HE HEARD A SQUEALING SOUND. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER AND THE FRONT ROTORS WERE REPLACED. AFTER THE REPAIR THE FAILURE RESURFACED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER MULTIPLE TIMES, AND THE REAR BRAKES WERE CLEANED AND THE ROTORS WERE REPLACED. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION HE NOTICED THAT THE FRONT BRAKES DRAG. NONE OF THE REPAIRS HAVE REMEDIED THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 10,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 35,241.
I HAVE A 2007 CHEVY SILVERADO CLASSIC THAT HAS ONLY 52890 MILES ON IT AND THE AC WENT OUT. MY FIANCE SAID SHE NOTICED AN ODOR OF ELECTRICAL FIRE OR BURNING WHEN THE AC STOPPED. MY KIDS WHERE IN THE TRUCK AND COULD HAVE BEEN HURT BY SMOKE INHALATION OR WORSE IF IT WOULD HAVE CAUGHT FIRE. AFTER INSPECTING THE TRUCK I FOUND THE BLOWER RELAY IS MALFUNCTIONING AND THE CONNECTOR IS BURNT AND MELTED. NO FUSES OR OTHER "SAFETY" MEASURES PREVENTED THIS. I LOOKED IT UP ONLINE AND THERE ARE MANY CASES OF PEOPLE GOING THROUGH THIS. THERE ARE A FEW WEBSITES THAT SELL A NEW RELAY AND HARNESS THAT RANGE FROM ONLY $75 UPTO $160, BUT THIS IN NOT A FULL HARNESS AND CUTTING AND SPLICING NEEDS TO BE DONE. THESE PROBLEMS STARTED AS FAR BACK AS THE MID 1990'S, SO WHY IN 07 AND BEYOND HAS THIS NOT BEEN CORRECTED? *TR
PASSENGER REAR WINDOW FALLING OUT DUE TO WARPED WINDOW FRAME. HAD TO REPLACE ENTIRE WINDOW BECAUSE THE FRAME IS HOOKED TO THE WINDOW. *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. THEY HAVE YET TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM. I A CONCERNED THAT THE OTHER TIRES, INCLUDING MY SPARE MAY INCUR THIS ISSUE AND LEAD TO AN ACCIDENT. *TR
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. THE BLOWER RESISTOR ON THE HEATER UNIT WHERE THE SEVEN WIRES THAT ARE PLUGGED INTO THE RESISTOR OVER HEATED AND MELTED THE PLUG. THERE WAS ALSO SMOKE PRESENT UNDER THE DASHBOARD WHICH ALSO PREVENTED THE HEATER FROM OPERATING NORMALLY. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE CONTACT WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR PAYING $167 FOR PARTS AND LABOR. THE IS REQUESTING THAT THE MANUFACTURER ASSUME 100% OF THE COST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 59,000.
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM FAILED UNEXPECTEDLY IN HIS VEHICLE.

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

WIRES UNDERNEATH DASH OF MY 2007 SILVERADO CREW CAB CAUGHT ON FIRE ON 10/28/08. SMOKE CAME POURING OUT OF THE DASH. CALLED DEALER AND HAD THEM TOW VEHICLE TO JOHN MEGAL CHEVY IN DAWSONVILLE, GA. TORE DASH APART ONLY TO CLAIM THAT THE INSTALLATION OF AN AFTER MARKET BRAKE SYSTEM CAUSED THE FIRE. WOULD NOT COVER REPAIR UNDER WARRANTY. HAD TO PAY $376.95 BEFORE THEY WOULD LET US MOVE THE TRUCK TO THE OTHER MECHANIC THAT INSTALLED THE BRAKE SYSTEM. AFTER MECHANIC THAT INSTALLED IT REVIEWED THE TRUCK, CLAIMED THAT IS SHOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. CLAIMS BRAKE SYSTEM WAS INSTALLED CORRECTLY. I SPOKE WITH 2 MORE INDEPENDENT TRAILER DEALERS AND THEY CONFIRMED IT WAS INSTALLED PROPERLY. JOHN MEGEL CHEVY WOULD NOT COVER UNDER WARRANTY EVEN AFTER OUR RESEARCH AND OTHER PROFESSIONALS CONFIRMED. WE HAD TO PAY $1300 TO HAVE ALL WIRING REPLACED, $300 IN TRUCK RENTALS, $376.95 TO JOHN MEGEL. WE ARE OUT $2000 FOR SOMETHING THAT GM SHOULD HAVE HANDLED. THE DISRESPECT WE WERE SHOWN FROM THIS DEALER IS UNBELIEVABLE. *TR

ONSTAR CUSTOMER SERVICE RESPONDED WITH AN INDICATION OF A FRONT END CRASH; HOWEVER, THERE WAS NO CRASH AND THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND REMAINED LIT UNTIL THE ENGINE WAS TURNED OFF. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING AND THEY STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS RELATED TO CORROSION IN THE WIRING SYSTEM. THE PARTS FOR THE REPAIR WERE UNAVAILABLE AND THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE VIN AND MILEAGES WERE UNKNOWN.
THE SPEAKER IN THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE DOOR STARTED BUZZING, AND AFTER A FEW MONTHS IT HAD SPREAD TO ALL FOUR SPEAKERS.

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. IF I KNEW GM WAS GOING TO DE-RATE MINE. *TR

MY TRUCK WILL NOT START ALL THE TIME. 60 DAYS AFTER PURCHASING NEW TRUCK I STARTED HAVING MANY DEAD BATTERIES. I WAS RECEIVING EMAILS FROM ONSTAR AT SAME TIME TELLING ME THEY HAD DIAGNOSED MY TRUCK THE PRECEDING NIGHT. I ADVISED ONSTAR TO STAY OUT OF MY TRUCK BECAUSE OF THE PROBLEM. ABOUT 5 MONTHS LATER (NOVEMBER 2008) I STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS AGAIN. I HAD ANOTHER DEAD BATTERY. LATEST HAPPENED 1/16/2009 TRUCK WOULD NOT START BUT BATTERY WAS FULLY CHARGED. I HAD TRUCK TAKEN TO DEALER. DEALER GOT IT STARTED AND SAID THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THEY DID NOT FIX ANYTHING. I PICK UP TRUCK 1/20/2009. 1/21/2009 I STARTED TRUCK WITH MY REMOTE, GOT IN TRUCK, INSERTED KEY AND THEN TURNED OFF MOTOR. I TRIED TO START IT AGAIN AND TRUCK WOULD NOT START. I WAITED AN HOUR AND TRIED TRUCK AGAIN. THE TRUCK STARTED. I DROVE IT IMMEDIATELY TO A DIFFERENT DEALER. GM CALLED ME 1/23/2009 AND SAID THEY COULD NOT FIND ANY PROBLEM WITH MY TRUCK. I HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM FOR 12 DIFFERENT TIMES. ONE TIME THE RADIO WAS OVERHEATED WHEN BATTERY WAS DEAD, BUT LATELY THE BATTERY IS NOT DEAD. THIS TRUCK IS PROVING TO BE VERY UNRELIABLE AND I AM VERY FRUSTRATED. CAN YOU HELP ME! *TR
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET SILVERADO KING CAB. EVER SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED, THE STARTER HAS FAILED. INITIALLY, THE DEALER BELIEVED THAT THE ONSTAR WAS AFFECTING THE STARTER.

BATTERY CHARGING AT INCORRECT / INCONSISTENT LEVELS, THE GAGE WILL SHOW BATTERY CHARGING AT 15 OR HIGHER AND SUDDENLY CHANGE TO 11 OR LOWER.

THIS BULLETIN IS DATED JULY 2008; HOWEVER THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT SEVERAL TIMES SINCE FOR THIS ISSUE. ADDITIONAL ISSUE IS THE BACK UP WARNING FEATURE; THE VEHICLE HAS SENSORS THAT NOTIFY THE DRIVER WHEN THE VEHICLE IS TOO CLOSE TO AN OBJECT, THE SENSORS EITHER FAIL TO WORK ALTOGETHER OR SIGNALS THE DRIVER WHEN IT IS TOO LATE. HAVE NEARLY BACKED UP INTO PEOPLE / OTHER VEHICLES, TO DATE NO ACCIDENTS. BUT THE VEHICLE SIZE IT IS DIFFICULT TO KNOW WHEN AN OBJECT IS BEHIND IT; OR HOW CLOSE IT IS. *TR

THE DEALER STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS DUE TO IRON DEPOSIT FROM THE TRANSPORTATION RAIL. AN ACID BATH TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE WOULD COST $400. THE REPAIR WAS NOT PERFORMED BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. WHILE BACKING OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY, THE CONTACT HEARD A CLANKING NOISE. HE TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION. THE DEALER STOPPED THE CLANKING NOISE; HOWEVER, IT RECURRED A WEEK LATER. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO THE SHOP AT LEAST EIGHT TIMES FOR THE SAME FAILURE, BUT THERE IS NO REMEDY TO SATISFY THE ISSUE.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET SILVERADO. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH ON NORMAL ROAD CONDITIONS, THE CONTACT DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL AND HEARD A LOUD GRINDING NOISE AND VIBRATION.

HELLO- RECENTLY I HAD AN ISSUE WITH MY 2007 CHEVROLET SILVERADO WHILE DRIVING ALONG A MAJOR INTERSTATE. MY AIRBAGS DEPLOYED FOR NO REASON. NO COLLISION OCCURRED, THEY JUST WENT OFF WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 60 MPH IN TRAFFIC. STASEK CHEVROLET DID A FINE JOB OF REPAIRING THE INTERIOR AND I RECEIVED MY VEHICLE BACK 3 WEEKS LATER. WHEN I ASKED THE SERVICE MGR. WHY IT HAPPENED, HE STATED HE DID NOT KNOW. I ASKED IF IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN AND I GOT THE SAME ANSWER.."I DON'T KNOW". MY DILEMMA AT THIS POINT IS THAT MY PERSONAL SAFETY(AS WELL AS MY FAMILIES) MAY BE AT RISK WHILE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE IN THE FUTURE. I SPOKE WITH CUSTOMER SERVICE AT GM CORPORATE AND THEY DIDN'T CARE ABOUT THE MATTER AND REFUSED TO COOPERATE WITH ME. TOLD ME TO CONTACT A LAWYER. I CANT AFFORD AN ATTORNEY AT THIS TIME, OTHERWISE I WOULD PURSUE THAT ROUTE. I BELIEVE A PROPER RESOLUTION WOULD HAVE BEEN TO REPLACE THE VEHICLE WITH A NEW ONE OR PURCHASE IT BACK SO I COULD AFFORD TO PURCHASE ANOTHER TRUCK. GM DIDN'T WANT ANYTHING TO DO WITH ME. I'M NOT THE KIND OF PERSON TO TRY AND GOUGE MONEY OUT OF THE SITUATION WITH SOME MASSIVE LAWSUIT. I'M NOT SEEKING ANY MONETARY COMPENSATION FROM GM. MY PERSONAL SAFETY IS MORE IMPORTANT, AND I BELIEVE I DESERVE TO FEEL SAFE IN A FAIRLY NEW VEHICLE THAT ONLY HAS 19K MILES ON IT. ANY HELP WITH THIS ISSUE WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. THANKS FOR YOUR TIME. REGARDS, ERIC BAULER *TR

THEN I TOOK THE TIRES TO TWO OTHER SHOPS AND BOTH INFORMED ME THAT THE TIRES HAD SEPARATED CORDS AND WERE A DANGER. NOW I DO NOT EVEN HAVE 10000 MILES ON THESE TIRES AND THEY ARE COMING APART AND THE DEALER OWNER OF THESE TIRES WILL NOT DO A THING TO ASSIST ME BEFORE THEY BLOW. THIS TO ME IS POOR WORKMANSHIP AND SALES ALONG WITH NO REGARDS TO THE PUBLIC SAFETY. PLEASE ASSIST ME AND OTHERS THAT SPENT OUR HARD EARNED MONEY TO GET THESE TIRES EITHER TAKEN OFF MARKET OR REPLACED. *TR
WHILE DRIVING MY 2007 SILVERADO 1500 CLASSIC, I HAVE HAD THE BRAKES COMPLETELY LOCK UP. THE FIRST TIME THIS OCCURRED IT CAUSED AND ACCIDENT, LUCKILY NO-ONE WAS INJURED. THIS HAPPENS ON A REGULAR BASIS, EVERY TIME THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED HARD. THIS TRUCK HAS BEEN BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AT LEAST 5 TIMES FOR THIS PROBLEM AND THE SAME RESULT IS GIVEN EACH TIME "OUR COMPUTER DOES NOT SHOW ANY CODES, SO NOTHING IS WRONG." IT MAINLY OCCURS AT SPEEDS AROUND 40-60 M.P.H., BUT HAS STARTED OCCURRING ON VERY HUMID OR RAINY DAYS. I EXPLAINED TO THE SERVICE MANAGER THAT THIS SHOULD BE SOME SORT OF SAFETY CONCERN AND HIS RESPONSE WAS, "WELL UNTIL A CODE COMES UP ON OUR COMPUTER, NOTHING IS WRONG." *TR
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH IN THE RAIN, THE VEHICLE SHIFTED OUT OF GEAR AND SPUN OUT SIDEWAYS. THE FAILURE HAS OCCURRED APPROXIMATELY 200 TIMES WHILE DRIVING IN TOW HAUL MODE. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN REPAIRED APPROXIMATELY FIVE TIMES, BUT THE FAILURE STILL PERSISTS. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 23,000 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 18,000.
AFTER ABOUT 7,000 MILES THE TREADS START TO COME OFF IN SMALL PIECES ON THE FRONT TIRES, (1/8" ). THE REAR TIRES CHUNKS ARE COMING OFF IN 1/4 ' TO 1/2' IN THE CENTER 3 ROWS OF THE TREADS. THIS IS MY 3RD SET OF TIRES. ALL RESULTING IN LOSE OF TREADS. *TR
I HIT A VEHICLE IN THE REAR AND THEN ANOTHER VEHICLE HIT ME IN THE REAR. THE FRONT SEATS OF MY 2007 SILVERADO FELL/RECLINED INTO THE BACK SEAT. I WAS UNABLE TO PULL THE SEATS FORWARD AFTER THE CRASH. *TR
THE REAR HEAD REST ON MY AND EVERY OTHER CHEVROLET SILVERADO CREW CAB ON THE DEALERS LOT DO NOT STAY IN THE UP POSITION IF A SMALL AMOUNT OF FORCE IS PUT ON THEM. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT THIS IS NORMAL SINCE THEY ALL DO IT. I FEEL THAT THIS IS UNSAFE FOR THE REAR PASSENGERS OF MY TRUCK IF I AM IN AN ACCIDENT. THE HEAD REST PROBLEM WAS BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION BY MY SON WHEN HE RAISED THE HEAD REST AND THEN LEANED HIS HEAD ON IT AND IT FELL DOWN TO IT'S LOW POSITION. THERE HAS BEEN NO ACCIDENT OR INJURIES YET BUT THERE COULD BE IN A REAR END COLLISION. THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE. *TR
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET SILVERADO. WHILE DRIVING 30-35 MPH, THE SPEED DOES NOT INCREASE ON THE VEHICLE, EVEN WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL IS DEPRESSED TO THE FLOOR. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD WHEN DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, BUT NOTHING WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER ACKNOWLEDGED THE FAILURE, BUT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS SUPPOSED TO PERFORM IN THAT MANNER. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 2,800 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 73.
ON MAY 26 2008 MY CHEVY SILVERADO WIRES CAUGHT ON FIRE I WAS ABLE TO GET IT PUT OUT PRETTY QUICK WITH ONLY A MINOR BURN TO MY FINGER BUT GM DOES NOT WANT TO ADMIT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE TRUCK THEY CANT SAY WHY IT HAPPENED THERE TRYING TO BLAME IT ON ME I HOPE YOU CAN LOOK INTO THIS SO MAYBE IF THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THERE TRUCKS SOME ONE DON'T GET HURT OF DIE. *TR
WE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE NEW FROM A DEALER. THE TRUCK NOW HAS APPROX. 14,000 MILES AND THE TIRES NEED TO BE REPLACED. AFTER TAKING IT TO A MECHANIC I WAS TOLD THAT THIS MAKE HAS SOME ISSUES THAT CAUSE THE TIRE TO WEAR DOWN ON THE INSIDE. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO REPLACE THE TIRES AT 14,000 MILES. DEALERSHIP GAVE ANSWERS LIKE DEPENDS ON DRIVER, ROAD CONDITIONS, ETC. NONE OF THESE EXPLAIN THE PREMATURE WEAR OF THIS TIRE. I AM NOT ALONE IN THIS PROBLEM. *TR
2007 CHEVY 1500 SILVERADO PICKUP BUMPERS - THE BUMPERS ON THESE PICKUPS ARE INADEQUATE. I REALIZE THE AGENCY DOES NOT HAVE A STANDARD FOR PICKUPS. THIS SHOULD BE CHANGED. I BUMPED INTO ANOTHER TRUCK THIS EVENING TRYING TO GET OUT OF THE PARKING LOT. THE IMPACT HAD TO HAVE OCCURRED AT A MPH RANGE OF 1 TO 2 MPH AT THE MOST. I STOPPED AND INSPECTED FOR DAMAGE ON MY VEHICLE AS WELL AS THE OTHER PICKUP INVOLVED. NONE WAS INITIALLY SEEN, EVEN BY A WITNESS. HOWEVER, UPON FURTHER INSPECTION A WHILE LATE, A PORTION OF MY BUMPER (THE PLASTIC END CAPS) ARE NOW RUBBING AGAINST THE PAINT. I BARELY BUMPED ANOTHER VEHICLE, NOW I HAVE TO SHELL OVER $1000 TO FIX SOME DAMAGE. YOU CAN NOT EVEN SEE WHERE THE COLLISION OCCURRED (THE FACE OF THE BUMPER) ON MY VEHICLE, JUST THAT THE BUMPER IS BENT. WHETHER IT IS A TRUCK OR CAR, 16 GAGE METAL WILL NOT HOLD UP TO EVEN THE SLIGHTEST COLLISION. TRUCK STANDARDS IN GENERAL NEED TO BE RAISED! DUSTIN GRANT *TR
TL*THE CONTACT WAS VEHICLE SHOPPING FOR A 2007 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. WHILE AT THE DEALER, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE REAR SEAT HEADREST WAS UNABLE TO BE ADJUSTED PROPERLY AND PROVIDED INSUFFICIENT SUPPORT FOR ANYONE OVER 5'8. THE CONTACT BELIEVES THAT THE FAILURE COULD LEAD TO WHIPLASH INJURIES IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH. HE STATED THAT WITH PREVIOUS MODELS, THE HEADREST COULD BE ADJUSTED ACCORDING TO HIS HEIGHT; HOWEVER, NEWER MODELS NO LONGER HAVE THAT OPTION. THE VIN AND MILEAGE INFORMATION WERE UNKNOWN SINCE THE CONTACT DID NOT OWN THE VEHICLE. REMAILED 07/01/08. *LJ UPDATED 09/24/08 *BF UPDATED 10/01/08. *JB
HESITATION ON ACCELERATION. WHILE MERGING ONTO AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR TO RAPIDLY INCREASE SPEED BUT THE VEHICLE HESITATED CAUSING ME TO HAVE TO CONTINUE DOWN THE SHOULDER AND ACTUALLY STOP TO AVOID A STALLED VEHICLE ON THE SHOULDER. I HAVE TAKEN MY VEHICLE TO TWO DIFFERENT DEALERS TO INVESTIGATE THE HESITATION ON ACCELERATION BOTH HAVE STATED THAT THIS IS NORMAL OPERATION FOR THE 2007 CHEVROLET SILVERADO. ALTHOUGH I DIDN'T HAVE AN ACCIDENT WITH THIS PARTICULAR INCIDENT I HAVE NOTICED THIS HESITATION DURING NORMAL DAY TO DAY DRIVING. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. *TR
BRAKE ROTORS ON 2007 CHEVROLET SILVERADO HAD TO BE RESURFACE DUE TO WARPING OR METAL DEFECTS, DEALER SAID WAS NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY EVEN THOUGH VEHICLE HAD ONLY 34,200 MILES ON IT, PAID FOR REPAIRS, BUT FELT THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN A SAFETY ISSUE REPAIR, DUE TO POSSIBLE LOSS OF CONTROL IN A HARD BRAKING SITUATION. *TR
I BOUGHT A 2007 CHEVY. TRUCK /1500 4 DOOR CREW IN FEB. 2007 AND NOW HAVE 48,106 MILES (MOSTLY HIGHWAY MILES) AND HAD A BRAKE FAILURE IN FRONT BRAKES. I HAD THE FRONT ROTORS, PADS AND RIGHT CALIPER REPLACED ON 04/25/08 AT SUPREME CHEVY. THEY TOLD THE CALIPER LOCKED UP AND CAUSED THE DAMAGE TO THE BRAKES. CHEVY. TOLD ME THERE IS NO RECALL FOR THIS AND THEY HAVE NOT HAD ANY PROBLEMS WITH THIS. I HAVE DRIVEN GM CARS AND TRUCKS ALL MY LIFE AND NEVER HAD A PROBLEM LIKE THIS BEFORE. SOME ONE IS GOING TO GET HURT OR WORSE IF THIS PROBLEM IS NOT ADDRESSED AND FIXED. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS TRUCK ANYMORE UNTIL CHEVY. TELLS ME THIS CHEVY. TRUCKS DON'T HAVE A SAFETY PROBLEMS WITH THE FRONT BRAKES. I HOPE YOU CAN LOOK INTO THIS AND HELP WITH THE PROBLEM. I DON'T WANT ANYTHING BUT JUST TO BE TOLD THIS TRUCK IS SAFE TO DRIVE. THANKS BRUCE ROGERS *TR
2 MONTHS AFTER BUYING MY VEHICLE THE BRAKE ON MY VEHICLE HAD A BAD SQUEAL. WHICH HAPPENS WHEN IT IS VERY HUMID OUTSIDE. I WENT TO THE DEALER THEY SAID IT WAS WEATHER AND MY BRAKES GETTING RUN IN. 1 MONTH LATER THE SAME FROM THE DEALER NO PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKES, SERVICE TECH'S SAY IT LOOKS FINE. 1 MONTH AGO A MECHANIC AT MY WORK SAW PITTS IN MY BRAKE ROTORS. HE SAYS HE HAS NEVER SEEN A NEW VEHICLES WITH THAT MUCH DAMAGE ON A BRAKE ROTORS ON FURTHER INSPECTION. ALL FOUR ROTORS ARE PITTED. THIS IS A 2007 CHEVY SILVERADO LT CREW CAB 4X2. #2 THERE IS A JERKING MOVEMENT WHEN U ARE COMING TO A STOP AT A STOP SIGN ARE RED LIGHT. THE TRANSMISSION SEEMS TO WANT TO LET THE CAR KEEP GOING, TOLD BY DEALER THIS WAS NORMAL WITH MY VEHICLE. *TR
BRAKE LIGHTS GO OUT WHEN BRAKE PEDAL IS RELEASE SLIGHTLY, BUT BRAKES ARE STILL BEING APPLIED. EXAMPLE - WHEN I PUSH THE PEDAL DOWN 75% AND BACK OFF TO 50% THE BRAKES LIGHTS GO OUT UNTIL I PUSH THE PEDAL BACK DOWN. THE DEALER SAID IT WAS WORKING AS DESIGNED, BUT I HAVE NEARLY BEEN REAR-ENDED MULTIPLE TIMES. *TR
THE SPEEDOMETER AND OTHER GAUGES ARE HARD TO SEE WITHOUT THE GAUGES BEING LIT UP. THE SPEEDOMETER AND OTHER GAUGES ARE HARD TO SEE WITHOUT THE DASH BEING LIT UP.

I REALLY LIKE MY TRUCK I JUST HAVE A VERY DIFFICULT TIME READING THE SPEEDOMETER. *TR
FEB. 21, 2008, MY WIFE AND MYSELF WERE INVOLVED IN A ACCIDENT DURING AN ICE STORM. OUR TRUCK FISH TAILED AND PLOWED THROUGH A HSY GUARD RAIL AT AN ANGLE OF APPROX 60 DEGREES. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT WORK. IT THEN BOUNCED OFF A SECOND GUARD RAIL IN THE OUTSIDE OF THE OPPOSITE LANE AND SPUN THE TRUCK AROUND AND HEADED FOR THE MIDDLE GUARD RAIL AND PARKED. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT WORK A SECOND TIME. SO, THE INJURY TO OUR NECKS AND UPPER TORSO WAS MORE SEVERE BECAUSE OF THE AIR BAGS NOT WORKING. THE SEAT BELTS STRAIN INJURED US. WE HAD LEASED A 2007 SILVERDO LT EXTENDED CAB WITH WARRANTY AND GUARANTEES. I WENT ONLINE AND CHECKED THE SAFETY RATING. SHOCKED, THIS IS WHY I AM MAKING THIS COMPLAINT. *TR
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. WHILE BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPACE AT 15 MPH, THE CONTACT DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL AND HAD TO USE BOTH FEET TO STOP THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY. HE DROVE TO GOODYEAR AND A TECHNICIAN TEST DROVE THE VEHICLE, BUT COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE DEALER FOLLOWED SUIT, BUT COULD ALSO NOT DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 17,100. UPDATED 4/8/08 *CN THE CONSUMER STATED PEDAL DEPRESSED 4 TIMES WITHIN A 10 MIN PERIOD AND WOULD NOT MOVE. UPDATED 04/08/08 *TR
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
THE BRAKE LIGHTS DO NO ALWAYS COME ONE WHEN BRAKING, OR THEY WILL GO OFF WHILE YOU HAVE THE FOOT ON THE BRAKE PEDAL.. CARS ALMOST HIT ME, PEOPLE BLOW THEIR HORNS, BECAUSE THEY DON'T THINK IM STOPPING. NOTICED AROUND 7,000 MI. *TR
COMPANY HAS A 2005 AND 2007 CHEVROLET LIGHT TRUCKS. WE HAVE EXPERIENCED PROBLEMS ON BOTH TRUCKS WITH THE SPARE TIRE HOIST. ONE TRUCK HAD TO B TOWED BECAUSE THE HOIST WOULD NOT OPERATE.

UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS 60-80 (MORE NOTICEABLE BUT CAN STILL FEEL AT LOWER SPEEDS WHEN STOPPING) MPH WHEN THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED TO SLOW FOR A TOLL PLAZA OR OFF RAMP THE TRUCK AND STEERING WHEEL SHAKE EXCESSIVELY. HAVE DRIVEN WITH 2 MECHANICS AND A SERVICE MANAGER AT MAROONE CHEVROLET AND THEY HAVE NOTICED THIS PROBLEM BUT STATE "IT IS NORMAL OR NOT THAT BAD". THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE AS I TOW A BOAT A COUPLE TIMES PER MONTH THAT IS 3500 LBS. THE TRUCK IS RATED TO PULL 7800 LBS. I AM WORRIED THIS COULD CAUSE BRAKE FAILURE/PREMATURE BRAKE COMPONENT WEAR. THE VEHICLE WAS IN THE SHOP 5 TIMES FOR THIS PROBLEM AND IT STILL CONTINUES. NOW THE BRAKES SQUEAL WHEN THEY ARE APPLIED AND TIRES ARE WEARING ON THE INSIDE (A FRIEND WITH THE SAME TRUCK IS ALSO WEARING ON THE INSIDE). THE DEALER REPLACED FRONT ROTORS AFTER TURNING THEM ONCE, REPLACED THE FRONT AND REAR PADS, REPLACED REAR DRUMS, AND REBALANCED THE TIRES. CONDITION STILL REMAINS. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT FLAMES ERUPTED FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT APPROXIMATELY SIX HOURS AFTER HE PARKED THE VEHICLE. AS A RESULT, THE FIRE DESTROYED THE VEHICLE. THE INSURANCE INVESTIGATOR WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FIRE. AS OF FEBRUARY 11, 2008, THE DEALER HAD NOT INSPECTED THE VEHICLE. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 8,000.
THE PASSENGER SEAT BELT LOCKS IN POSITION TO WHERE THE PASSENGER CANNOT MOVE AND WILL TIGHTEN MORE UNTIL THE SEATBELT IS REMOVED AND REATTACHED. THIS IS HAVING TO BE DONE NUMEROUS TIMES WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. THE DEALER HAS REPLACED THE BELT 3 TIMES BUT HAS NOT CORRECTED THE PROBLEM. GM IS NOW SAYING THAT THE BELT IS DESIGNED THAT WAY BECAUSE OF CAR SEATS POSSIBLY BEING PLACED IN THAT POSITION. THEIR OTHER ANSWER WAS TO ADD A SEATBELT EXTENSION TO HELP THE PROBLEM. THIS MOVES THE BELT TO A VERY UNSAFE POSITION ON THE PASSENGER BODY. THE CONNECTION OF THE LAP BELT AND THE SHOULDER BELT IS ALMOST IN THE MIDDLE OF THE PASSENGER BODY PUSHING THE SHOULDER BELT OVER THE ARM RATHER THAN THE SHOULDER. WE WILL NOT USE THIS DEVICE. THIS HAS NOT CAUSED AN ACCIDENT OR INJURY BUT IF THE PASSENGER IS REMOVING THEIR BELT EVERY 30 MIN. WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION IT COULD HAVE BAD RESULTS. *TR

WHEN PARTIALLY RELEASING THE BRAKE PEDAL THE BRAKE LIGHTS WILL PREMATURELY EXTINGUISH. THE INDICATION AT THIS POINT TO REARWARD VEHICLES IS THAT A PARTIAL BRAKING SITUATION DOES NOT EXIST AND THAT MY VEHICLE IS EITHER COASTING OR UNDER SOME LEVEL OF POWER.

I JUST BOUGHT A USED 2006 SILVERADO 1500 FROM A DEALER. WENT HOME WITH A FULL TANK OF GAS, WEEK LATER WENT TO FILL IT UP AND THE NEEDLE STOPPED HALFWAY BETWEEN 3/4 AND FULL AND IT WOULD NOT LET ME PUT IT IN. TRUCK HAD 14650 MILES ON IT WHEN IT STARTED AND NOW HAS 16450. STILL UNDER WARRANTY AND HAS BEEN TO THE DHOP 6 TIMES AND THEY HAVE REPLACED EVERY PART OF THE FUEL SYSTEM AND STILL NO BETTER.

2007 CHEVY SILVERADO, PURCHASED IN LATE 2006. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER WHERE PURCHASED COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG. BRAKES SQUEAKING VERY LOUDLY, TRUCK IS BOUNCING ERRATICALLY AND SENSE A STEERING ISSUE. 1ST DEALER ALSO TOLD ME THE TIRES JUST NEEDED TO BE ROTATED.

2007 CHEVROLET SILVERADO TPMS (TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR SYSTEM) INOPERATIVE. THE TPMS SYSTEM DOES NOT RELEARN AS OUTLINED IN THE VEHICLE OWNER MANUAL AND IF ATTEMPTED THE SYSTEM IS RENDERED INOPERATIVE. A CONSUMER MAY NOT KNOW THE SYSTEM MALFUNCTION UNTIL THE FIRST ATTEMPT TO RELEARN, BUT GM SUPPLIED DOCUMENT ID# 1883524 INDICATES GENERAL MOTORS WAS AWARE OF THE ISSUE ON 12/28/06. DESPITE THIS INFORMATION THEY CONTINUE TO IGNORE THIS ISSUE. IT HAS NOW BEEN ONE YEAR SINCE THEY HAVE IDENTIFIED THIS ISSUE. I ALSO ATTEMPTED THE RELEARN PROCEDURE IN A 2008 VEHICLE AS WELL AND IT DID NOT FUNCTION EITHER. I HAVE MADE SEVERAL ATTEMPTS CONTACTING GM AND INCLUDING THE SELLING DEALER TO RESOLVE THIS AND NO FIX IS AVAILABLE. SPECIFICALLY GM BUSINESS RESOURCES PAULO SALVADOR (800-231-1841 EXT 11824) STATES ?NO FIX WILL BE AVAILABLE?. WITH THE ASSISTANCE OF GM CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE PERFORMING THE RELEARN PROCEDURE THE SYSTEM IS DISABLED AND INOPERATIVE. I DON'T THINK THIS WAS THE INTENT OF THE SYSTEM. THE DEALER HAS BEEN ABLE TO RELEARN THE SYSTEM USING A TOOL ONLY AND THIS OPERATION IS NOT 100% EITHER. SOME INSTANCES THE TIRES WERE RELEARNED IN THE WRONG LOCATIONS. PERSONALLY THIS RESULTED IN A FRONT TIRE LOW INDICATION WHEN ACTUALLY IT WAS THE RIGHT REAR TIRE THAT WAS LOW. AND AS STATED BEFORE WHEN ATTEMPTING TO RELEARN, THE SYSTEM GOES INOPERATIVE AND NO TIRE PRESSURE INFORMATION IS AVAILABLE. FURTHER RESEARCH CONCLUDED THAT DEALER TECHNICIANS DO NOT RELEARN TPMS WHEN ROTATING OR SERVICING TIRES. GM NEEDS TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THE INCOMPETENCE IN DEVELOPMENT AND REPAIR OF THIS SYSTEM. GM CLAIMS THEY ARE WORKING ON A FIX TO CORRECT THIS ISSUE BUT IT?S BEEN OVER A YEAR NOW AND THIS SHOULD NOT BE ACCEPTABLE. I CAN ONLY IMAGINE WHAT IT WILL TAKE BEFORE GM REACTS. *TR

I HAVE A NEW CHEVY SILVERADO WITH 3000 MILES ON IT. WHEN I STARTED IT TODAY THE NAV/RADIO SCREEN DID NOT COME ON AT FIRST. IT REMAINED BLACK. IT FINALLY CAME ON AND I HEADED FOR WORK. BETWEEN 5 + 10 MILES IN THE DRIVE THE ENTIRE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM SHUT DOWN FOR A INSTANCE (EVERYTHING WENT BLACK). THE ENGINE STAYED ON BUT THE TRUCK STOPPED FOR THAT INSTANCE. I WOULD GUESS SINCE THE TRANS IS ELECTRICAL WAS THE REASON THE TRUCK STOPPED WHEN THE ELECTRICAL WENT OUT. THIS OCCURRED 3-4 TIMES SO I HEADED STRAIGHT FOR THE DEALER. THE NAV SYSTEM ALSO WENT OUT SEVERAL TIMES WITH OUT THE ENTIRE ELECTRICAL GOING OUT. IT DID NOT OCCUR AGAIN ON THE WAY TO THE DEALER, POSSIBLY SINCE IT WAS WARMED UP. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS EVER CAME ON. HAVE YOU SEEN THIS BEFORE OR HAVE A CLUE WHAT COULD CAUSE THIS? THE DEALER IS SAYING THEY COULD NOT DIAGNOSE THIS INTERMITTENT PROBLEM.

I BOUGHT A 2007 CHEROLET SILVERADO CREW CAB USED (19,000 MI.) FROM MAROONE CHEVEROLET. I NOTICED THAT THE STEERING WAS SHAKEY AND THERE WAS A VIBRATION. THE SALESMAN SAID THAT THE TRUCK HAD A FULL NEW CAR WARRANTY AND THEY WOULD FIX IT. NOTE: THEY CLAIMED TO DO A 117 POINT CHECK TO BE GM CERTIFIED! THIS TRUCK SHAKES, WOBBLES AND RATTLES FROM DRIVING FROM NORMAL TO A LITTLE BUMP IN THE ROAD. TRANSMISSION WAS KLUNKING BETWEEN GEARS, IT IS BETTER, BUT NOT NORMAL. THE GAS MILLAGE DOES NOT COME CLOSE TO THE ADVERTISE STICKER ON WINDOW OF 16 - 21 MPG. I AM ONLY GETTING 12 MPG IN TOWN AND 17 MPG ON THE HIGHWAY. ABOUT 75% OF WHAT WAS EXPECTED. THE DEALER CLAIMS THIS IS AN ALL NORMAL WITH THIS TRUCK! *JB
THIS PROBLEM PERTAINS TO A 2005 CHEVY SILVERADO. THE VENT FAN / AIR CONDITIONING SHUT OFF WHILE I WAS DRIVING. I STARTED TO SEE SMOKE COME OUT FROM UNDER THE DASHBOARD BY THE PASSENGER SIDE. THE CONNECTOR THAT WAS ATTACHED TO THE RESISTOR FOR THE A/C AND HEATER WAS MELTING DUE TO EXTREME HEAT. THE BLACK WIRE WAS GLOWING BRIGHT RED AND WAS MELTING THE PLASTIC ON THE CONNECTOR. AFTER A PHONE CALL TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THE TRUCK WAS PURCHASED, I FOUND OUT THAT CHEVY ALREADY NEW ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND THAT THEY HAD SEEN IT MANY TIMES. THE PARTS TO REPAIR IT WERE IN STOCK, THEY WERE PURCHASED AND REPLACED. THE FAN AND A/C ARE NOW WORKING. *JB

I JUST PURCHASED A 2007 CHEVROLET 1500 4/4 IN MAY. WHEN I PUT THE HITCH INTO THE RECEIVER I FOUND IT TO BE VERY LOOSE. THE FACTORY TOWING RECEIVER MEASURED 2-1/4 INCHES. THE FACTORY STANDARD HAS BEEN 2-1/16 FOR YEARS. IN 2006 CHEVERLOT MADE THIS CHANGE. THE 2006 MODELS WERE STARTING TO SPLIT IN THE PIN HOLES ,AND IT WILL ONLY BE A MATTER OF TIME UNTIL THE RECEIVER FAIL, CAUSING TRAILERS TOO SEPARATE FROM THE TOW VECHILE. THE RECEIVERS WERE EXTREMELY SLOPPY IN BOTH DIRECTION'S, CAUSING UNDO STRAIN ON THE 5/8 HITCH PIN. THANKS FOR LOOKING INTO THIS. *AK
2007 SILVERADO NEW BODY STYLE. UPON TAKING DELIVERY FROM THE DEALER I NOTICED A MASSIVE DISTORTION IN THE WINDSHIELD. DEALER HAS ORDERED A NEW ONE TO REPLACE IT. HOPEFULLY IT'S JUST AN ISOLATED PROBLEM.*AK

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. SOON AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED ON AUGUST 8, 2006, THE STEERING WHEEL AND THE VEHICLE ITSELF BEGAN TO BOUNCE AND SHAKE. WHEN TURNING THE WHEEL IN EITHER DIRECTION, THE STEERING WHEEL FEELS AS IF IT WILL DETACH. THE MORE THE VEHICLE IS DRIVEN, THE WORSE THE FAILURE BECOMES. ON SEPTEMBER 16, 2006, THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO FIND ANY FAILURE BUT STATED THAT IT WAS THE CHARACTERISTIC OF THE VEHICLE. ON JUNE 6, 2006, WHILE MAKING A LEFT TURN, THE STEERING WHEEL OPERATED ON ITS OWN AND CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO CRASH INTO A POLE. THE SPEED AT THE TIME OF THE CRASH WAS 5 MPH. THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE TIE ROD IN THE FRONT HAD DETACHED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER.

THE ENGINE SIZE AND POWERTRAIN WERE UNKNOWN. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 8,143.
WE HAVE A NEW 2007 CHEVROLET SILVERADO THAT HAS BEEN A PROBLEM. WHEN YOU GAVE IT GAS IT WOULD SHIFT REAL HARD, WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THE SEALS IN THE TRANSMISSION HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE TRUCK WAS IN THE SHOP 2 OR 3 DAYS FOR THAT. THE HARD SHIFTING WAS STILL THERE. WE CONTINUED TO DRIVE IT. A COUPLE DAYS LATER MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING THE TRUCK, AND IT STALLED ON HIM WHILE DRIVING. WE DROVE IT FOR ABOUT A WEEK LIKE THAT UNTIL I CALLED GMAC TO REPORT TO THEM WHAT WAS GOING ON WITH THE TRUCK. THE WOMEN I TALKED WITH TOLD ME IT WAS A SAFTEY ISSUE AND NEEDED TO BE TAKEN INTO THE DEALERSHIP.WE TOOK IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP EVERYTIME THE TRUCK WOULD STALL WHILE DRIVING AND NOTHING SHOWED UP ON ANY DASHBOARD DISPLAYS. WHEN THE DEALERSHIP HAD IT,THEY HOOKED A COMPUTER TO IT AND DROVE IT. IT DID STALLED ON THEM, AND THEIR COMPUTER REGISTERED A FAILURE, BUT IT SHOWED NO CODES. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY HAD TO CONTACT GM TO FIND OUT WHAT TO DO. WE NEEDED OUR TRUCK BY FRIDAY BECAUSE OF PRIOR PLANS. WE CALLED GMAC COMPLAINT LINE ON THURSDAY TO FIND OUT WHAT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN. WE TALKED WITH THE COMPLAINT DEPARTMENT AS WELL AS THEIR SAFTEY DEPARMENT EXPLAINING EVERYTHING THAT WAS GOING ON AND THAT WE NEEDED THETRUCK. THEY SAID THERE WAS REALLY NOTHING THEY COULD DO, AND PRETTY MUCH TOLD US WE COULD PICK THETRUCK UP, KNOWING IT WAS ALREADY NOTED AS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. ON FRIDAY THE DEALERSHIP PUT A NEW COMPUTER IN IT, AND MY HUSBAND PICKED IT UP. ON SATURDAY MY HUSBAND AND I WERE DRIVING ON I-75 IN THE PASSING LANE GOING 75 MPH AND THE TRUCK QUIT ON US. WE ALMOST HAD AN ACCIDENT WITH A JEEP, ALONG WITH ALMOST GOING DOWN A HILL. I CALLED GMAC RIGHT AWAY TO LET THEM KNOW WHAT HAPPENED, ALONG WITH LETTING THEM KNOW THAT THE COMPUTER WASN'T THE PROBLEM. THIS TRUCK WAS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. I'VE EXPLAINED MY CONCERNS WITH GMC OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF DAYS, AND THEY DIDN'T WANT TO HELP US AT ALL.*AK
1,100 MILES INTO OWNING OUR NEW 2007 SILVERADO, A LOUD CLUNK WAS HEARD PULLED OVER TO FIND THE LEFT REAR AXLE SHOOTING OIL AND SMOKING LIKE CRAZY. THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. 10 DAYS LATER AND OVER 8 HOURS OF WORK THE REAR AXLE WAS REBUILT. UNCLEAR AS TO WHY. ..STILL WORKING ON THAT ISSUE. *JB
EXHAUST VIBRATES AT 1200 RPM TO 1400 RPM. THE WHOLE TRUCK MOANS AND VIBRATES. I WOULD THINK THE VIBRATION IN TIME WILL CAUSE PREMATURE FAILURE IN EXHAUST SYSTEM. *JB
ENGINE SUDDENLY LOSES POWER AT HIGHWAY AND PASSING SPEEDS WITH NO WARNING AT ALL. *JB
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 LACK OF HEIGHT REQUIREMENT FOR LIGHT TRUCKS AND SUVS IS ABSURD THESE DAYS. WHAT YOU HAVE IS 1/2 THE VEHICLES NOT MESHING WITH PASSENGER VEHICLES. WHY DON'T ALL VEHICLES CONFORM TO THE SAME HEIGHT REQ? AND WHEN A TRUCK IS NOT PULLING A TRAILER, SHOULD IT BE ALLOWED TO HAVE THE TRAILER HITCH LANCE PROTRUDING FROM ITS BUMPER? WHAT IT THE INTEND OF SUCH STANDARDS? WITHOUT UNIFORMITY, ARE YOU REALLY DOING ANY GOOD? HAS YOUR AGENCY BROUGHT THIS TO THE ATTENTION OF LEGISLATORS? THANKS. *NM
