2007 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 Complaints

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

AFTER SHORT(90MILES)TRIP TO SEE FAMILY MEMBERS, I NOTICED A CRACK ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE DASH CONNECTING THE 'AIR BAG' PANEL. THIS RAISES GREAT CONCERN ABOUT THE SAFETY OF PASSENGERS SHOULD THERE BE A MINOR COLLISION AND PIECES OF THE CRACKED DASH IMPALING SOMEONE. NOW THE DASH ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER HAS CRACKED AND THIS IS VERY DISTURBING BECAUSE THIS IS AT THE LEVEL OF THE DRIVERS FACE.. *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 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

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 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
