2007 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 Complaints

I HAVE A 2007 CHEVY SILVERADO AND THE GAS GAUGE HAS BEEN ACTING UP FOR ABOUT A YEAR NOW. I CAN FILL THE TRUCK ALL THE WAY UP WITH GAS, DRIVE IT HOME FROM THE GAS STATION(7 MILES) AND THE GAS GAUGE WILL BE READING ABOUT 3/4 TANK. WHEN I GO TO DRIVE IT THE NEXT DAY IT READS 1/2 TANK THEN BY THE TIME I GET TO THE INTERSTATE (15 MILES AWAY) IT WILL BE BETWEEN 3/4 AND FULL. I LOVE THE TRUCK BUT WISH CHEVY WOULD PUT A RECALL OUT ON THERE SENDING UNITS BECAUSE I KNOW PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AND HAVE SEEN MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE. *TR

I WAS TRAVELING NORTHBOUND A REGULAR CITY STREET WHEN THE INSIDE OF MY TIRES HIT A POT HOLE AND SET OFF MY SIDE IMPACT AIRBAGS ON MY 2007 CHEVY SILVERADO 1500 Z71 4X4. THERE WAS NO SIDE IMPACT ON THE TRUCK AT ALL AND NO FRONT -END COLLISION TO SET OFF THE FRONT AIR BAGS(THEY DID NOT DEPLOY). I AM EXTREMELY WORRIED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF OTHERS. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH HE ENGAGED THE BRAKES AND THEY PULSATED WHEN THE ANTILOCK BRAKE SYSTEM ACTIVATED. THE VEHICLE STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION. THE FAILURE OCCURRED NINE TO TEN TIMES WHILE DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS. THE FAILURE ONLY OCCURRED WHILE MAKING LEFT TURNS AND NOW IT OCCURS WHILE DRIVING IN ANY DIRECTION. THE FAILURE HAD BEEN ON GOING SINCE THE MIDDLE OF FEBRUARY 2011.

THE FRONT RIGHT INNER BRAKE PAD HAS BEEN PREMATURELY WEARING COMPARED TO THE OTHER PADS. LOCAL CHEVROLET DEALER HAS BEEN ASKED TO ADJUST PADS UNDER WARRANTY. TECH SAID THAT THE VEHICLE CAN NOT BE ADJUSTED AND THAT THEY ARE WEARING WITHIN "NORMAL" TIME. BRAKE PADS ARE NOT LASTING MORE THAN 7 MONTHS AT A TIME DUE TO INNER PAD WEARING DOWN TO THE METAL BACKING WHILE THE OTHER PADS STILL HAVE 3/4 OF THEIR LIFE LEFT. THE FRONT PADS HAVE BEEN REPLACED APPROXIMATELY FOUR TIMES IN THREE YEARS. THE FRONT ROTORS HAD TO BE REPLACED TWICE IN THE SAME AMOUNT OF TIME DUE TO THE SAME ISSUE.

THE AIR BAG SYSTEM ON CHEVROLETS TEND TO NEED SERVICE WORK EARLY AND IF THE SYSTEM IS THAT SENSITIVE, THE BAGS COULD DEPLOY. THIS COULD CAUSE ACCIDENTS OR PERSONAL INJURY. IT SEEMS CHEVROLET HAS CONSTRUCTED THIS SYSTEM TO FAIL FOR HOPES OF COLLECTING REPAIR MONEY. *TR
