2007 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTIFICATION FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V324000 (AIR BAGS). THE PART NEEDED WAS UNAVAILABLE TO PERFORM THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

THE DASH IS CRACKED NEXT TO THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. IF THE AIR BAD DEPLOYS THE SHARP EDGES COULD DAMAGE THE AIRBAG.

THE DASH ON MY 2007 CHEVY SILVERADO HAS CRACKED AT THE CORNER OF PASSENGER AIRBAG AND ABOVE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. I'M CONCERNED THAT THESE PIECES OF PLASTIC WILL BECOME PROJECTILES IF THE AIRBAG DEPLOYS.

MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP TWICE FROM 2014 UNTIL 2016 FOR WHELL CYLINDERSNBECAUSE OF ABS SENSORS ACTIVATING. HAVE PURCHASED WHELL CYLINDERS TWICE AND NOW I NEED THEM AGAIN. VEHICLE IS IN MOTION WHEN ABS SENSORS ACTIVATE.

THE DAY AFTER I BOUGHT THIS TRUCK, WHILE STARTING TO BACK OUT OF A PARKING SPACE AT MY MECHANIC'S SHOP, MY FOOT WENT TO THE FLOOR. I STOPPED, GOT OUT AND FOUND A LARGE PUDDLE OF BRAKE FLUID ON THE GROUND. THEY TOOK THE VEHICLE INTO THE SHOP AND FOUND ALL OF THE BRAKE LINES WERE BADLY RUSTED AND 1 HAD COMPLETELY FAILED. DURING THE REPLACEMENT PROCESS THEY ALSO FOUND THE FUEL LINE WAS RUSTED SO I HAD IT REPLACED AS WELL. SHORTLY AFTER THAT, THE SERVICE AIRBAG WARNING STARTED COMING ON WHEN DRIVING THE TRUCK. TRANSPORT CANADA HAS A RECALL FOR THIS SPECIFIC PROBLEM AS FOLLOWS FROM THEIR WEB SITE: TRANSPORT CANADA RECALL # 2014510 RECALL DATE2014/11/07 NOTIFICATION TYPESAFETY TC SYSTEMAIRBAG MANUFACTURER RECALL NUMBER19270B CATEGORYLIGHT TRUCK & VAN RECALL DETAILS ON CERTAIN VEHICLES, THE SENSING AND DIAGNOSTIC MODULE (SDM) MAY CORRODE DUE TO A SIGNIFICANT QUANTITY OF SNOW AND/OR WATER CONTAINING ROAD SALT OR OTHER CONTAMINANTS ENTERING THE VEHICLE AND SATURATING THE ACOUSTICAL PADDING BENEATH THE FLOOR CARPET. IF SUFFICIENT MOISTURE COLLECTS AND IS RETAINED IN THE PADDING, IT MAY CAUSE EXCESSIVE CORROSION UNDER THE MODULE; COMPROMISING THE MODULE SEAL AND ALLOWING WATER INTRUSION AND SYSTEM MALFUNCTION. THIS MAY RESULT IN ILLUMINATION OF THE AIRBAG READINESS LIGHT ALONG WITH A "SERVICE AIRBAG" MESSAGE ON THE DRIVER INFORMATION CENTER AND, IN CERTAIN INSTANCES, MAY CAUSE INADVERTENT DEPLOYMENT OF THE SEATBELT PRETENSIONER AND/OR AIRBAGS. INADVERTENT AIRBAG AND/OR PRETENSIONER DEPLOYMENT COULD RESULT IN INJURY AND/OR DAMAGE TO PROPERTY. CORRECTION: DEALERS WILL REMOVE THE ACOUSTICAL PAD ABOVE THE SDM, INSPECT, AND IF NECESSARY, REPLACE THE SDM.

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.

DASH CRACKED ABOVE THE PASSENGER AIRBAG ON ITS OWN. IF I GET INTO AN ACCIDENT AND THE AIRBAG DEPLOYS THERE WILL BE SHARDS OF PLASTIC SHOOTING EVERYWHERE.

THE FORWARD DASH HAS CONTYTO CRACK AND BREAK APARTVAT SEVERAL AREAS INCLUDING THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG LOCATION. THIS IS A KNOW PROBLEM WITH GM AND THEY ONLY OFFER "GOODWILL" ASSISTANCE FOR CUSTOMERS JUST OUTSIDE THE BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY. REPAIRS COST OVER 1000.00 FOR THIS ISSUE THAT CAN SOMETIMES HAVE TO BE DONE MULTIPLE TIMES. LOOKING TO FINALLY GETTING THIS ADDRESSED AND NOT SWEPT UNDER THE RUG.
