EQUIPMENT:ELECTRICAL, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
DEFECT IN MY 2007 CHEVROLET SILVERADO AS REPORTED BY GM IN A LETTER RECENTLY RECEIVED. RECALL INITIATED IN CANADA, WHY HAS NHTSA NOT ISSUED ONE IN US. GM STATES MY 2007 TRUCK IS DEFECTIVE AND THE "INTERFACE BETWEEN THE ELECTRICAL TERMINALS ON THE RELAY RESISTOR MODULE AND THE WIRING CONNECTOR THAT POWERS THE MODULE MAY BE INCAPABLE OF CONDUCTING HIGHER CURRENT LEVELS FOR SUSTAINED PERIODS OF THE BLOWER MOTOR OPERATION.... THUS CAN CAUSE OVERHEATING WHICH WILL CAUSE THE BLOWER MOTOR NOT TO OPERATE AND CAN BE ACCOMPANIED BY A BURNING SMELL OR SMOKE." BASICALLY MY CAR CAN CATCH FIRE. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
OUR 2007 CHEVROLET 3500 4 X 4 WITH A 6.0 GAS ENGINE HAS FAILURE IN THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD BOLTS AND IS CAUSING NOISE AND EMISSION ISSUES IN AND OUTSIDE THE CABIN AND IS AFFECTING HORSE POWER. OUR TRUCK HAS NOW 13,000 MILES ON IT! THIRTEEN THOUSAND. IT IS WELL CARED FOR AND LITTLE USED, THERE IS NO EXCUSE THAT WE FACE A THOUSAND DOLLAR OR MORE BILL TO REPAIR A UNIT THAT IS A LONG WAY FROM BEING A USED UNIT. WE KNOW OF MANY NOW, THAT HAVE THIS ISSUE, OUR FRIEND SAID HE WOULD NOT PAY THE DEALER TO DO IT FOR HIS TRUCK, THERE IS NO SERVICE BULLETIN AND NO RECALL, BUT IT WAS AFFECTING EVERYTHING, AND YOU COULD NOT GAIN ACCESS TO THE BROKEN BOLTS UNLESS YOU TORE OUT THE TOP END OF THE MOTOR, SO HE REMOVED THE MOTOR AND REBUILT THESE PARTS HIMSELF, IT COST HIM HE SAID $700.00 TO DO IT HIMSELF. HE IS STILL MAD ABOUT IT. WE ARE WRITING YOU IN HOPES THAT YOU MAY INVESTIGATE AND HELP, THERE ARE EMISSION VIOLATIONS IN MANY STATES DUE TO THIS, AND THERE CAN BE A FIRE, IT CAN AFFECT THE SENSORS AND WILL TRIGGER CODES CAUSING ENGINE LIGHT TO REMAIN ON. THIS PROBLEM AFFECTS NEARLY 7 OR 8 YEARS OF GM TRUCKS, 4.8, 5.7 AND THE 6.0 SIZE ENGINES. AT FIRST IT WAS NOT TOO BAD, BUT IT HAS GOTTEN WORSE IN THE PAST FEW THOUSAND MILES. THE MILEAGE OF SEVEN THOUSAND IS MY APPROXIMATION OF WHEN I FIRST HEARD IT, I THOUGHT IT WAS EXHAUST, BUT I THOUGHT A PROTECTIVE PLATE OVER THE MUFFLER OR SOMETHING, NO WAY DID I THINK THE BOLTS OF THE MANIFOLD WERE BREAKING. PLEASE HELP US OUT ON THIS. *TT

EXTERIOR LIGHTING, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
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
