2007 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 Complaints

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

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

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

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. 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

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

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ENGINE WOULD SURGE AND HESITATE WHILE STOPPING. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE SPARK PLUGS AND WIRES WERE REPLACED, AND THE THROTTLE BODY WAS CLEANED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BUT DID NOT RECTIFY THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 112 AND THE APPROXIMATE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 165,000.

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
