AIR BAGS:SIDE/WINDOW
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

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
PROBLEM WITH TRANSMISSION COOLER LINES FOR THE ALLISON TRANSMISSION. 123,000KM'S ON MY 3500 AND THE TRANSMISSION LINES HAVE BEEN REPLACED 3 TIMES. 2 TIMES WERE ON WARRANTY AND THE 3RD I HAD TO PAY FOR MYSELF. I HAVE EXTENDED WARRANTY BUT IS NOT COVERED, BUNCH OF BS. COST ME 850 DOLLARS TO FIX. SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THEM, EVEN THE DEALER SHIP SAYS THEY HAVE LOTS OF PROBLEM WITH THE LINES. WHEN EVER IT TURNS COLD THEY START TO LEAK AND HAVE TO BE CHANGED. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
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.

AIR BAGS
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

POWER TRAIN
I AM GETTING A NOTICEABLE VIBRATION IN THE DRIVE TRAIN AT ABOUT 45 MPH. IT FINALLY SUBSIDES AT AROUND 55 MPH. I HAVE HAD THE OIL LEVEL CHECKED IN THE TRANSMISSION AND THE REAR END OIL CHECKED. ALL IS OK IN THOSE AREAS. CONTACTED A LOCAL CHEVROLET DEALER AND EXPLAINED THE SITUATION ON THE PHONE AND I WAS TOLD THAT IS WAS NORMAL FOR THAT MAKE, MODEL AND DRIVE TRAIN. ALSO HAD THE UNDERSIDE OF THE VEHICLE CHECKED TO SEE IF THERE WAS ANYTHING LOOSE THAT MIGHT CAUSE THE PROBLEM ESPECIALLY THE EXHAUST SYSTEM AND ALL IS OK. NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM BEFORE. JUST STARTED. CHEVROLET WON'T BOTHER WITH IT.

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
ABS SENSOR READS INCORRECTLY AND TRIGGERS THE ABS SYSTEM TO KICK IN EVERY TIME THE BRAKES ARE USED, CAUSING THE BRAKE PEDAL TO RUMBLE AND GIVING THE SENSATION OF BRAKE FAILURE WHEN THE PEDAL GOES SOFT UNDER YOUR FOOT. THIS IS WORSE WHEN TURNING LEFT. EXTRA DISTANCE IS REQUIRED FOR BRAKING AT ALL TIMES. ABS WARNING LIGHT COMES ON AT RANDOM TIMES FOR NO APPARENT REASON.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
HEATER BLOWER FAN CONTROL RELAY PLUG LOCATED UNDER THE PASSENGER SIDE DASH BOARD. WHEN FAN IS ON HIGH SETTING THE PLUG AND WIRES OVERHEAT AND START TO BURN/MELT AND FAN RELAY CLICKS OFF. I INSPECTED THE PLUG AND HAVE SEEN MELTED/BARE WIRES ALSO BURNT PLASTIC ON THE PLUG. AFTER DOING SOME ONLINE RESEARCH I NOTICED A LOT OF CHEVY OWNERS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH OTHER CHEVY MODELS AND YEARS AND THIS HAS LED TO MANY VEHICLE FIRES. I HAVE ALSO LEARNED THAT CHEVY HAD A SAFETY BULLETIN OUT ON THIS FOR THE DEALERS BUT THEY HAVE FAILED TO INFORM THE CAR AND TRUCK OWNERS I HAVE CONTACTED SEVERAL CHEVY DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENTS WHO ARE VERY AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD THAT THIS IS NOT COVERED BY CHEVROLET AND THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY AROUND $90.00 JUST FOR A DIAGNOSES INSPECTION AND ADDITIONAL MONEY FOR THE REPAIR.
