2007 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 Complaints

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 CONTACT MENTIONED THAT AFTER PUTTING THE SEATBELT ON, THE SEATBELT WARNING LAMP FLICKERED AS WELL AS VARIOUS WARNING LAMPS AND GAUGES. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS AN ELECTRICAL SHORT IN WHICH THE LOW BEAM AS WELL AS THE REAR TAIL LIGHTS SHORTED WITH NO WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INSPECTED OR DIAGNOSED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 38,000.

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.

DRIVING DOWN ROAD WHEN REDUCE ENGINE POWER COMES ON AND SHUTS DOWN THE POWER AND I CAN NOT DRIVE OVER 15MPH ON A BUSY HIGHWAY..... *TR

NUMEROUS CRACKS HAVE APPEARED IN THE DASHBOARD OF MY 2007 SILVERADO. TWO OF THEM ARE AROUND THE PASSENGER AIRBAG WHICH COULD BECOME PROJECTILES UPON THE INFLATION OF THE AIRBAG. THIS IS A KNOWN DEFECT IN THE DASHBOARDS AND AFFECTS THOUSANDS OF GM VEHICLES. *TR

REAR BRAKE LINE THAT RUNS ALONG FRAME BADLY RUSTED AND DEVELOPED LEAK THAT RESULTED IN LOSS OF REAR WHEEL BRAKING. *TR

TEMPERATURE AROUND 0 DEGREES. SNOW ON ROAD. DASH LIGHTS FOR ABS AND BRAKE WENT ON. WHEN I GOT TO A CLEAR AREA OF PAVEMENT I TESTED ABS BY JAMMING ON BRAKES. ABS DID NOT WORK. DROVE VEHICLE HOME TO GARAGE. TURNED ON HEATER IN GARAGE. NEXT MORNING WARNING LIGHTS OFF AND BRAKES WORKED CORRECTLY. HAS HAPPENED ONCE OR TWICE A WINTER SINCE 2011. LAST HAPPENED 01/07/14. HAPPENS ONLY WHEN LESS THAN 10 DEGREES AND WET. OTHERWISE BRAKES HAVE WORKED CORRECTLY. *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
