2007 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 complaints

THE TRANSMISSION COOLER LINES RUSTED THROUGH NEAR THE EXTERNAL COOLER BEHIND THE FRONT GRILL AREA, LEAKING THE FLUID CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO LOOSE SPEED AND STOP ON THE ROAD. NO REVERSE OR DRIVE. *TR

I HAVE A 2007 SILVERADO... I NOTICED BACK IN 2010 THAT THE DASH WAS CRACKED AT THE AIR BAG AREA ABOVE THE GLOVE COMPARTMENT BUT AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH IT SEEMS THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AMONG THESE NEW BODY STYLE YEARS. 2014...MY DEALER OFFERED ME A REPAIR DISCOUNT OF 20% WHICH I THOUGHT WAS ABSURD !!! *TR

VEHICLE LIGHTS FLICKER WHILE DRIVING, LIGHTS DO NOT GO COMPLETELY OFF. VERY DISCONCERTING ON FREEWAY IN MORNING WHILE GOING TO WORK. MOWRIE CHEVROLET HAD IT FOR A WEEK,BUT PROBLEM PERSISTS. *TR

HAS CRACK ON DASH AROUND AIR BAG, CONCERNED ABOUT SAFETY , PLASTIC MAY BECOME ATTACHED IN AIR BAG ON DEPLOYMENT. HAS CRACK ON DRIVER SIDE NEAR VIN, PLASTIC MY COME SHATTER AND INJURER DRIVER IN A COLLISION. *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

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 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

VARIOUS INTERMITTENT DRIVEABILITY CONDITIONS - HESITATION, LACK OF POWER, ETC. CURRENT MILEAGE 73,000. *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. B

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

THE DASHBOARD IN MY VEHICLE HAS CRACKED, RIGHT BEHIND THE AIRBAG. IF THE AIRBAG WERE TO DEPLOY IT IS VERY LIKELY THAT A PIECE OF THE BROKEN DASHBOARD COULD BECOME A PROJECTILE INSIDE THE VEHICLE CAUSING SERIOUS INJURY TO THE OCCUPANTS. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH GM VEHICLES CONTAINING THIS DASHBOARD, INCLUDING THE GMC SIERRA, GMC YUKON, CHEVROLET AVALANCHE, CHEVROLET TAHOE, AND CHEVROLET SUBURBAN. DETAILED PHOTOS OF THE CRACKED DASHBOARDS AND GM'S RE-DESIGN CAN BE FOUND HERE: HTTP://TAHOE-CRACKED-DASH.WEBS.COM/ AND HERE: HTTPS://WWW.FACEBOOK.COM/GROUPS/251892298253/ GM HAS OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE TO REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE COMPONENT DESPITE MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS.

I ONLY GET ABOUT A MONTH OR 2 USE OUT OF HEADLIGHTS. I REPLACED MY LIGHT BULBS AT LEAST 8 TIMES IN THE PAST 12 MONTHS. I ONLY USE MY TRUCK TO GO TO WORK. ITS NEVER LEAVES THE ROAD AND THEY SHOULD NOT KEEP BLOWING LIKE THAT. I HAVE NOTICED QUIET A FEW OTHER OWNERS COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM. I THERE A RECALL IF NOT YOU NEED TO CHECK IN TO IT PLEASE I CANT AFFORD TO KEEP PURCHASING BULBS [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *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

AIRBAG IMPACT SENSOR, FRONT GM OE 15297468 CRACKS, CORRODES, AND STOPS WORKING. POORLY DESIGNED AND A POTENTIAL SAFETY ISSUE IF IN AN ACCIDENT. NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. *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.

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.

AS TO DATE,DECEMBER OF 2012, THERE ARE OVER 212 COMPLAINTS TO NHTSA ABOUT THE QUALITY OF THE 2007 SILVERADO PICKUP,BE IT 1/2 TON OR ANY OTHER. WHY HASN'T THE ABOVE ADMINISTRATION DONE SOMETHING ABOUT THE PROBLEM? 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. WHEN IS THE ADMINISTRATION GOING TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT ALL OF THE COMPLAINTS FILED? *TR

THE DASHBOARD HAS CRACKED RUNNING FROM THE CORNER OF THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG TOWARDS THE WINDSHIELD. THIS HAPPENED WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AND NOT IN USE.

VEHICLE TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP TO HAVE CAMPAIGN WORK DONE ( 09184A OCT. 09 SDM CORROSION IN STATES HAVING SNOWFALL AND SALT APPLIED TO ROADS) AFTER RECEIVING NOTICE IN MAIL. NO PROBLEM WITH VEHICLE AT THIS TIME. 2 WEEKS AFTER WORK, VEHICLE (MULTIPLE TIMES) STARTED EXHIBITING INTERMITTENT SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT...ON FOR A FEW MINUTES THEN OFF. AROUND OCT. 2ND, 2012, SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON AND NOW STAYS ON UPON START UNTIL VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF. GM AND DEALER CONTACTED AND RECOMMENDED I HAVE SYSTEM DIAGNOSTIC DONE...AT MY COST ($90) TO DETERMINE PROBLEM. I OPENED A CASE FILE WITH GM (# [XXX]) AND WILL TAKE MY VEHICLE TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC TO DOWNLOAD CODES AND DETERMINE WHICH ITEM IS FAULTY. I WOULD HAVE THE DEALERSHIP THAT DID THE WORK PERFORM THIS, HOWEVER I HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH THEM IN THE PAST REGARDING "NEEDED" REPAIRS. I SUGGESTED THAT IF THEY RUN THE DIAGNOSTICS IN MY PRESENCE AND THE CODES COME UP WITH SOMETHING OTHER THAN THE SDM I WOULD GLADLY PAY FOR THE DIAGNOSTIC AND REPAIR, HOWEVER, IF THE CODE CAME UP WITH THE SDM BEING THE PROBLEM, THEY WOULD PAY FOR THE DIAGNOSTIC, REPLACEMENT, AND RENTAL IF NEEDED.....THEY WOULD NOT ACCEPT THIS.
