2007 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 Complaints

ON MY SILVERADO WITH JUST UNDER 39,000 THE LEFT WHEEL BEARING HAD TO BE REPLACED ON 8/9/11. ON 10/6/11 THE RIGHT SIDE HAD TO BE REPLACED. I CONTACTED CHEVY AND THEY WILL NOT LOOK INTO ANY COMPLAINTS ON THE FAILURE OF THESE WHEEL BEARINGS WITH SUCH LITTLE MILEAGE. BOTH TIMES MY TRUCK HAD TO BE TOWED. I DO TRAVEL THE INTERSTATE ROUTES AND AN CONCERNED ABOUT MY SAFETY AND OTHERS ON THE ROAD BUT CHEVY TOLD ME "I'M ENTITLED TO MY OPINION." *TR

I PURCHASED THE 2007 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER THINKING I WOULD HAVE A GOOD DEPENDABLE CAR, NOT SO. THE STABIL-I TRAC CHECK LIGHT COMES ON AND THEN WHEN THE CAT IS RESTARTED IT GOES OFF. THE GAS GAUGE HAS DROPPED TO EMPTY AND WILL NO LONGER INDICATE FUEL IN TANK, THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL NOTICE ON THIS , HOWEVER GM IS ONLY PAYING FOR 50% OF THE COST OF REPAIR. I HAD AND ACCIDENT ($ 2400.00) DUE TO THIS GAS GAUGE FAILURE, NO ONE HURT BUT COULD HAVE BEEN DISASTROUS. GM WAS NOTIFIED AND A CLAIM FILED AND THE RESULTS WERE THEY WERE NOT AT FAULT. NOW THE LOWBEAM LIGHTING SYSTEM ON THE VEHICLE HAS GONE OUT. I HAVE HAD THE FUSES, SENSOR, AND THE BULBS CHECKED AND NO ONE CAN FIND THE PROBLEM. I AM VERY FRUSTRATED WITH GM AND THE FACT THAT THE CARS THEY PRODUCE NOW ARE SUBSTANDARD AND THEY ARE NOT STANDING BEHIND THEIR PRODUCTS.WHERE DO I TURN NOW? I NEED MY VEHICLE. *TR

ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS) ACTIVATES WHEN NOT NEEDED DURING LOW SPEED (<10 MPH) STOPPING. THIS SUDDENLY INCREASES STOPPING DISTANCES IN LOW SPEED BRAKING SITUATIONS. THIS IS THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM DESCRIBED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER 05V37900 ISSUED FOR 1999-2002 CHEVROLET SILVERADOS FOR WHICH A RECALL WAS ISSUED ON 8/30/2005. *TR

ANTI LOCK BRAKES COME ON AT A SLOW STOP ..ABOUT 2 OR 3 MPH...AND THE TRUCK WANTS TO NOT STOP... I FOUND A T B S ...03-05-25-007D AND 007C SHOULD BE A RECALL AS A BAD SAFETY ITEM........ *TR

2007 CHEVY SILVERADO EXHAUST MANIFOLD BOLTS SNAPPING. THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD BOLTS ON GM 4.8, 5.3, 6.0 V8'S ARE JUNK AND DEFECTIVE. THEY CORRODE AND SNAP EASILY AND PREMATURELY. MY TRUCK IS A 2007 WITH 84000 MILES WITH AN EXHAUST LEAK CAUSED BY DEFECTIVE BOLTS. BOLTS ARE NOT COVERED UNDER GM POWERTRAIN WARRANTY. *TR

THE A/C FAN QUIT. IT SMELLED LIKE BURNING PLASTIC. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO EXIT THE FREEWAY SAFELY AND I HAVE ENOUGH ELECTRICAL KNOWLEDGE I WAS ABLE TO DETERMINE A WAY TO CONTINUE SAFELY. IT WAS A FIRE HAZARD WAITING TO HAPPEN INSIDE THE CAB. THE RESISTOR WAS EXTREMELY HOT AND THE WIRING HARNESS WAS MELTED. THERE WERE NO BLOWN FUSES. I PULLED FUSES TO REDUCE THE CHANCE OF FIRE. I HAVE PREVIOUSLY ATTEMPTED TO DEAL WITH THE CHEVROLET DEALER NEAREST DFW, TX AIRPORT AND GM OVER MY BAD ENGINE BLOCK (ALSO REPORTED ON THIS FORUM) AND ........ SO I AM OUT THE MONEY FOR THIS FIRE HAZARD TOO. THIS IS THE LAST GM PRODUCT I WILL EVER OWN. *TR

SMELLED SOMETHING BURNING BUT COULDN'T FIND WHERE IT WAS COMING FROM UNTIL RECENTLY WHEN MY A/C BLOWER MOTOR STOPPED WORKING. FOUND THE BLOWER RESISTOR CONNECTOR HAD MELTED AND 3 OF THE 7 WIRES THE HARNESS HAD BURNT FOR APPROXIMATELY 6 INCHES. THIS COULD BE A MAJOR FIRE HAZARD. *TR

AROUND THE TIME MY TRUCK HIT THE 42000 MILE MARK THE OIL LOW INDICATOR WARNING ILLUMINATED ON MY INSTRUMENT PANEL. I TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALER SINCE IT WAS WELL UNDER WARRANTY. THE DEALER BEGAN AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST AND THE TRUCK CONTINUED TO GO THROUGH OIL REGULARLY. SOMETIMES JUST HALF A QUART BUT SOMETIMES AS MUCH AS 1 1/2 QUARTS. THE DEALERSHIP DID WORK ON THE ENGINE 6 MONTHS INTO THIS ISSUE BUT THAT DID NOT STOP THE OIL CONSUMPTION. AFTER DEALING WITH THEM FOR OVER 12 MONTHS, AND THE LOW OIL LIGHT COMING ON 2 MORE TIMES, I WAS TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE TRUCK AND ACCORDING TO GM SPECS, CONSUMING 1 QUART OF ENGINE OIL EVERY 2000 MILES, WAS ACCEPTABLE. I CALLED AND COMPLAINED TO THE GM CORPORATE OFFICES BUT WAS TOLD THAT THEY COULD NOT CONTRADICT THE DEALERSHIP SINCE THEY WERE THE ONES MONITORING THE OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUE. I TOLD THEM THAT BY THEIR "SPECS" IF I TOOK MY FAMILY ON A ROAD TRIP FROM CA TO NY AND BACK, I WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE AT LEAST 3 QUARTS, OR HALF THE TOTAL IN THE CRANK CASE, DURING THE TRIP. I KNOW OF NO OTHER AUTOMOBILE MANUFACTURER THAT WOULD FIND THIS ACCEPTABLE. GM SAYS IT IS. IN MY OPINION, THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT GM IS WELL AWARE OF AND FAILING TO ADDRESS, EVEN WHEN AN OWNER HAS FOLLOWED THE RECOMMENDED MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE AND REPORTED THE ISSUE IN A TIMELY FASHION. I WILL NOT OWN ANOTHER GM PRODUCT. THEIR CUSTOMER-NO-SERVICE IS TERRIBLE AND CONTRARY TO THE TELEVISION ADS, THEY DO NOT STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCTS. *TR

I HAVE A 2007 CHEVY SILVERADO 4.3 L V6 ENGINE. THE EMISSIONS SYSTEM WENT CRAZY, FIRST SAYING COOLANT TEMPERATURE TOO LOW FOR ENGINE,REPLACED THERMOSTAT THAT WENT BAD,GOT STUCK OPEN. LIGHT GOES OUT. NEXT DAY LIGHT BACK ON SAYS EVAP SOLENOID VENT HAS GROSS LEAK. THERE R NO REPLACEMENT PARTS FOR THIS FAILURE COME 2 FIND OUT AFTER TALKING TO DEALER. U HAVE TO BUY WHOLE NEW SOLENOID VENT SYSTEM AND ADD 5/8 HEATER HOSE TO RERUN THE VENT SO DIRT,DUST AND DEBRIS IS HARDER TO ENTER THE VENT. THEY SAY ITS A FLAW IN DESIGN SO GM REDESIGNED IT AND THIS IS HOW TO FIX IT. IF THEY KNOW ITS A BAD DESIGN THEN THEY SHOULD PAY FOR IT TO BE REPLACED WITH THEIR NEW DESIGN. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH HE BEGAN TO SMELL THE ODOR OF BURNING PLASTIC AND THE FAN STOPPED FUNCTIONING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTICS. THE CONTACT INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND NOTICED THAT THE FAN RESISTER MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE WIRING HARNESS, WHICH WAS CONNECTED TO THE MODULE, WAS ALSO MELTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 75,000.
