ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, AIR BAGS
YESTERDAY ON 4/10/2014 AT 2:00PM I GET INTO MY 2007 CHEVY SILVERADO 1500 CLASSIC CREW CAB AND START MY TRUCK. I NOTICE THAT ONCE I LET GO OF THE GET IT NEVER RETURNED TO THE ON POSITION FROM RUN/START POSITION. THE TRUCK IS RUNNING AND UNABLE TO TURN OFF. I HAD TO GO UNDER THE HOOD FUSE BOX TO PULL THE PCM FUSE TO SHUT THE TRUCK OFF. THIS HOW EVER STILL LEFT THE TRUCK ON. IT IS NOW SITTING IN THE SHOP IN PHOENIX, AZ AAA OWNED AND OPERATED SHOP ON 75TH AVE AND THUNDERBIRD. I WILL BE REQUESTING THE PARTS AFTER SEEING AND HEARING THE "IGNITION SWITCH RECALL" OF OTHER GM VEHICLES. *TR

VISIBILITY:DEFROSTER/DEFOGGER/HVAC SYSTEM, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
VEHICLE HAS DUAL AIR CONDITION (A/C) CONTROLS. THE DRIVER SIDE STARTS BLOWING HOT (HEATER HOT) AIR ALL OF A SUDDEN. THE PASSENGER SIDE IS OKAY, STAYS COLD. EVEN WHEN THE A/C IS TURNED OFF IT STILL BLOWS HOT AIR. EVEN WITH THE WINDOWS OPEN, IT IS STILL HOT AIR COMING OUT OF THE VENTS; LIKE AS IF THE HEATER IS ON. CLOSE THE VENTS BUT STILL BLOWS HOT. HAVE TO STOP A FEW MINUTES AND SOMETHING MUST RESET BECAUSE IT WORKS OKAY FOR A WHILE. SOMETIMES HAVE TO STOP SEVERAL TIMES TO GET HOME OR PULL OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I LIVE AND DRIVE IN SOUTH TEXAS... IT GETS 105 IN THE SHADE... 120 IN A VEHICLE. I DECIDED TO FILE THIS BECAUSE I HAVE READ ON THE INTERNET MANY OTHERS HAVE THIS SAME PROBLEM AND NOW A FRIEND OF MY WIFE'S HAS THE SAME PROBLEM ON HER CHEVROLET. THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO FIX SOMETHING THAT I BELIEVE IS A DESIGN ISSUE. TO BE PROACTIVE AND NOT REACTIVE BEFORE AN ACCIDENT OCCURS. THE HEAT CAUSES SEVERE DISTRACTION. ESPECIALLY IF SOMEONE IN THE VEHICLE IS YOUNG, ELDERLY, ILL ETC. THE DRIVER IS FORCED TO KEEP DRIVING. I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH CHEVROLET ON 3/4/2014. WAS CALLED BACK AND TOLD THEY COULD NOT HELP AND TO REPORT THIS TO NHTSA. *TR

STRUCTURE:BODY
THE DASHBOARD IN MY VEHICLE HAS CRACKED, RIGHT BEHIND THE AIRBAG. IF THE AIRBAG WERE TO DEPLOY IT IS VERY LIKELY THAT A PIECE OF THE BROKEN DASHBOARD COULD BECOME A PROJECTILE INSIDE THE VEHICLE CAUSING SERIOUS INJURY TO THE OCCUPANTS. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH GM VEHICLES CONTAINING THIS DASHBOARD, INCLUDING THE GMC SIERRA, GMC YUKON, CHEVROLET AVALANCHE, CHEVROLET TAHOE, AND CHEVROLET SUBURBAN. DETAILED PHOTOS OF THE CRACKED DASHBOARDS AND GM'S RE-DESIGN CAN BE FOUND HERE: HTTP://TAHOE-CRACKED-DASH.WEBS.COM/ AND HERE: HTTPS://WWW.FACEBOOK.COM/GROUPS/251892298253/ GM HAS OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE TO REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE COMPONENT DESPITE MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS THE INTERIOR LIGHTS BEGAN FLICKERING ON THE DASH AND IN THE CABIN. APPROXIMATELY 45 SECONDS TO ONE MINUTE AFTER THE INITIAL DASH AND LIGHT ISSUES THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND A NOTICE OF BATTERY CHARGING FAILURE OCCURRED, WITHIN A FEW SECONDS OF THIS OCCURRENCE I BEGAN TO SLOW DOWN AND PULL OVER. THE ENGINE SHUT OFF BEFORE THIS COULD OCCUR. BY THE TIME I COAXED THE VEHICLE ONTO THE SHOULDER THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM AND DOOR LOCKS WERE NO LONGER WORKING. SMOKE AND FLAMES BEGAN TO ENTER THE COCKPIT AND I IMMEDIATELY EXITED THE VEHICLE. THE INTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE WAS FULLY ENGULFED IN LESS THAN A MINUTE AND THE ENTIRE TRUCK, BED, AND GAS TANK SOON FOLLOWED. THE TRUCK WAS COMPLETELY CONSUMED AND IS NOW A TOTAL LOSS. *TR
