ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
THERE IS A MAJOR PROBLEM WITH MY '07 CHEVY SILVERADO 1500 Z71 4DR PICK-UP. THE TRUCK HAS BEEN EATING IT'S OWN OIL. IT ALSO HAD TRANSMISSION LEAK DUE TO DEFECTIVE PART CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO LOOSE OIL FOR NO REASON AND THERE IS NO GM PARTS TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE AND AFTER INVESTING ALOT OF MONEY AND TAKING CARE OF VEHICLE MAINTENANCE PROPERLY, I AM TRULY UPSET AND THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE ABS SYSTEM ON MY 2007 CHEVROLET SILVERADO CLASSIC, SINCE ABOUT THREE MONTHS AFTER I PURCHASED IT. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE NEW. THE FIRST OCCURRENCE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT, BUT NO INJURIES. I REPORTED THE PROBLEM TO THE DEALER, THEY CHECKED THE "COMPUTER" AND SAID "THE COMPUTER DOES NOT HAVE ANY CODES, SO NOTHING CAN BE WRONG." THE BRAKES HAVE LOCKED-UP, NUMEROUS TIMES SINCE THE FIRST ACCIDENT. THIS HAS HAPPENED ABOUT 25-30 TIMES IN THE LAST 3 YEARS. IT IS AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM, NEVER OCCURRING IN THE SAME CONDITIONS. I CONTACTED GENERAL MOTORS AND THEY SENT A REGIONAL SUPERVISOR IN TO LOOK AT THE REPORTS. HE GAVE THE SAME ANSWER AND BASICALLY SAID IF THE COMPUTER DOESN'T SHOW A PROBLEM THEN THEIR CANT BE A PROBLEM, AND THEY COULDN'T AFFORD TO BEGIN REPLACING PARTS THAT COULD CAUSE THE PROBLEM. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED. IT HAS HAPPENED AS RECENTLY AS 1 WEEK AGO. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, DIESEL
2007 CHEVROLET K3500 DURAMAX POWER PROBLEM:ON TWO OCCASIONS I HAVE HAD A NEAR TOTAL LOSS OF POWER PROBLEM WITH MY 2007 K3500 DURAMAX. BOTH OCCURRENCES WERE IDENTICAL. THERE WAS A LOSS OF POWER THAT SEVERELY LIMITED ACCELERATION AND TOP SPEED. THE DETAILS OF THE CONDITIONS ARE AS FOLLOWS: ?RPM WILL NOT GO ABOVE 2200RPM ?MAX SPEED 49 MPH (TRUCK UNLOADED - IT TAKES ABOUT 1 - 1 1/2 MILES TO GET SOME SPEED BACK FOLLOWING EVENT) ?ALL GAUGES INDICATE NORMAL OPERATING RANGES ?ENGINE TEMP, TRANSMISSION TEMP, OIL PRESSURE NORMAL ?THE ONLY WAY TO INCREASE SPEED IS TO COME UP TO 2200 RPM, LET OFF THE ACCELERATOR TO CAUSE TRANSMISSION TO SHIFT AND THEN REPEAT THE PROCESS ?SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON ?LOW ENGINE POWER READOUT ON HISTORY: FIRST OCCURRENCE: ?5/9/2008, ODOMETER 7,779 MILES, DESERT SUN OF ROSWELL NM CHEVROLET 505 625-1000, INVOICE CTCS148596 ?INSTALLED NEW CALIBRATION UPDATE FOR P0402 SECOND OCCURRENCE: ?12/29/2009, ODOMETER 24,339 MILES, INDEPENDENCE CHEVROLET OF BLOOMSBURG PA 570 784-2720, INVOICE CVCS300288 ?ADVISED BY FACTORY TO UPDATE PCM CALIBRATIONS ?NOTE, ON 10/26/2009 TRUCK WAS INSPECTED FOR UPDATES AT MY REQUEST AND MY COST. THE SYSTEM WAS SCANNED, HOOKED TO GM NET AND NO UPDATES WERE FOUND. CONCLUSIONS: THERE SEEMS TO BE AN AS BUILT PROBLEM WITH THE TURBO CHARGER, COMPUTER CONTROLS AND SENSORS FOR THIS TRUCK. I HIGHLY SUSPECT THAT GM IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND THE REPAIR NEEDED ALTHOUGH NO RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED TO DATE. THIS PROBLEM MAY BE DEEMED TO EXPENSIVE TO REPAIR UNDER WARRANTY BY GM. MY SUSPICION IS BASED ON THE FACT THAT GM KNOWS THAT IF THEY RELOAD THE PCM CALIBRATION DATA THE SYSTEM WILL SOMEHOW RESET ITSELF AND WORK AGAIN FOR A WHILE. DANGER: A NEAR TOTAL LOSS OF POWER ON THE ROAD IS SERIOUS. SPEED GOES TO 20-30 MPH QUICKLY. THIS IS ESSENTIALLY A NO FUEL EVENT. IF THE TRUCK IS LOADED OR PULLING A TRAILER THE EVENT BECOMES MORE DRAMATIC AND UNSAFE. PLEASE HELP! *TR

SEATS
I OWN 2007 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 CREW CAB WORK TRUCK (NEW BODY STYLE) WHICH I PURCHASED NEW IN SEPT. 2007. ON APPROXIMATELY NOVEMBER 2, 2009 WHILE ENTERING MY VEHICLE, THE PLASTIC LUMBAR SUPPORT BROKE AS I WAS SITTING DOWN IN THE DRIVER SEAT. THUS FORCING MY BODY WEIGHT TO PUSH THE FOAM AND PLASTIC COVER OUT OF THE BACK PORTION OF THE SEAT FRAME. I THEN REMOVED THE REMAINING ATTACHED SEAT BACK TO LOCATE THE PROBLEM. I FOUND THAT THERE ARE FOUR THIN, PIVOTING PLASTIC ARMS THAT FLEX WHEN THE MANUAL KNOB IS TURNED FOR ADJUSTMENT. THESE ARMS ARE HOLDING THE PLASTIC LUMBAR SUPPORT IN PLACE ALONG WITH FOUR THIN ALUMINUM RODS. IN THE EVENT OF A REAR END IMPACT, THIS DEFECT COULD CAUSE SERIOUS SPINAL AND/OR NECK INJURY. PLEASE NOTE, THAT I AM A STATE LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER AND THAT I FEEL THIS SITUATION BE THOROUGHLY INVESTIGATED. THIS INCIDENT WAS REPORTED TO THE DEALER AND NO FURTHER ACTION NOR INTEREST WAS DEMONSTRATED BY THE DEALER OR GM. REPLACEMENT PART WAS QUOTED AT APPROXIMATELY $120.00 + LABOR. THANK YOU. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, TIRES
2007 CHEVORLET SILVERADO 1500 2WD V8 4.8L, ENGINE FIRE. FIRE DEPARTMENT & INSURANCE COMPANY BOTH DO NOT BELIEVE THERE WAS FRAUD OR ARSON. TOTAL LOSS. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED OUTSIDE OF MY RESIDENCE ON THE RESIDENTIAL DRIVEWAY AT ABOUT 3:50A.M. WE HEARD A BLOW WHICH WAS THE TIRE IN THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE. WE CALLED POLICE PLUS FIRE DEPARTMENT. THE ENGINE FRONT PART OF TRUCK PLUS THE 2 TIRE'S IN FRONT AND ENGINE CAUGHT ON FIRE. THE HOOD STILL ON, AND THE WINDOWS DID NOT BREAK. THE INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE GOOD JUST WET AFTER THE FACT. FIRE REPORT SAYS AREA OF FIRE ORIGIN WAS THE ENGINE AREA, RUNNING GEAR, WHEEL AREA. ITEM FIRST IGNITED WAS THE PIPE, DUCT, CONDUIT & HOSE COVERING. IT WAS ABOUT 2:30A.M. SAME DAY WE GOT HOME. IT HAD NOT BEEN 2 HOURS THAT WE DROVE THE VEHICLE. IT WAS PARKED AND THE IGNITION OFF WHEN THIS FIRE STARTED. MY DRIVER AND PASSENGER DOOR MUST HAVE UNLOCKED AND THE BACK DRIVER AND PASSENGER DOORS STAYED LOCKED BECAUSE WHEN THE FIRE DEPARTMENT PUT OUT FIRE THE DOORS WERE THAT WAY. I HAVE A 6 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER THAT RIDES IN THE BACK SEAT. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT SAID THE FIRE STARTED DRIVERS SIDE/ENGINE. THIS IS A VERY TERRIFYING TIME. I'M SCARED TO EVEN PURCHASE A TRUCK ANYMORE. WE COULD HAVE BEEN IN THE VEHICLE, MY HUSBAND AND I PLUS OUR DAUGHTER. I USED TO DRIVE MY TRUCK WITH THE THOUGHT THAT I WAS SAFE IN IT FOR THE SIZE OF IT AND THAT IT WAS A CHEVY, BUT NOW I CAN'T EVEN HAVE THAT THOUGHT CROSS MY MIND. YOUR NOT SAFE ANYWHERE, NOT EVEN IN YOUR VEHICLE BECAUSE NOT ONLY IF THERE IS A CAR WRECK, A DRUNL DRIVER HITS YOU, SOMEONE FAILED TO STOP AT A STOP SIGN AND HIT YOU, NOW IF YOUR IGNITION IS IN THE OFF POSITION YOUR TRUCK CAN CATCH ON FIRE, AT YOUR RESIDENCE, PARKED IN A GARAGE, PARKED BESIDE OTHER VEHICLES, AND WHO KNOWS THE FIRE COULD HAVE STARTED AS I AND MY FAMILY WERE IN IT TOO. YOUR NOT SAFE. INSURANCE CO PAYS THE VALUE AND BOOK CLOSED. I HAVE NO VEHICLE TO SHOW FOR THOSE 3 YEARS. NO FRAUD NO ARSON AND NO VEHICLE. AND NOTHING DONE. IT'S NOT RIGHT. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION LINES 2007 CHEVY SILVERADO WITH ALLISON TRANSMISSION. FACTORY TRANSMISSION LINES LEAK AND MUST BE REPLACED. WHEN THE WEATHER TURNS COLD, THE LINES/CRIMPS HOLDING THE RUBBER HOSE TO THE PIPES FAIL AND AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FLUID IS LOST, SOMETIMES IN CATASTROPHIC MANNER, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO LOOSE PROPULSION. REPORTS OF FAILURE ARE EXTREMELY COMMON, AND IT IS NOT UNUSUAL, THAT THE LINES MAY HAVE BEEN REPLACED 3 TIMES WITHIN THE 1ST 50,000 MILES. GM HAS ISSUED 'NEW, UPDATED' PARTS, BUT THEY ARE NO BETTER THAN THE ORIGINAL PARTS. THE NEW PART NUMBERS ARE 20759971, 20759972, 20759973. WHILE REPAIR IS COVERED ON THE 36K BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY, THERE IS NO COVERAGE ON THE 100K WARRANTY. GM SHOULD REPLACE THE LINES FREE OF CHARGE FOR THE 1ST 100K MILES WITH A HOSE THAT WILL NOT FAIL. CONSUMERS CAN TAKE THE ORIGINAL GM LINE TO A HYDRAULIC SHOP, HAVE THE RUBBER PORTION OF THE LINES REPLACED WITH STANDARD HYDRAULIC HOSE SUITABLE FOR ATF FLUID AND THERE ARE NO FURTHER FAILURES. IF CONSUMERS CAN FIX THE LINES, PERHAPS GM CAN FIND A SOLUTION. *TR

POWER TRAIN
THUMP AFTER COMING TO A STOP. AFTER ABOUT 24,000 MILES. I STARTED FEELING A LIGHT THUMP FROM THE REAR, AS IF SOMEONE BUMPED ME FROM BEHIND. OVER THE NEXT FEW WEEKS IT BECAME VERY NOTICEABLE, SO I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER FOR INVESTIGATION. THE 1ST TIME, THEY SAID THE REAR-END HAD THE WRONG LUBE IN IT & THEY REPLACED IT. THIS SEEM TO WORK FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL WEEKS. THEN THE THUMP RETURNED LIGHTLY AT 1ST & GRADUALLY WORSENED TO A MAJOR THUMP. I RETURNED IT TO THE DEALER & THIS SECOND REPAIR WAS THAT THE LUBED THE REAR-END & REPLACED THE YOKE ON THE DRIVESHAFT. THIS REPAIR WORKED FOR ABOUT A WEEK & I STARTED FEELING THE LIGHT THUMP AGAIN. I TOOK IT BACK IN AGAIN, LEFT IT ALL DAY & THEY APPARENTLY DROVE IT AROUND THE PARKING LOT & COULDN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. ONE OF THE SERVICE MANAGERS RODE WITH ME, AROUND THE PARKING LOT & THE PROBLEM WOULDN'T SHOW UP. IT HAS SINCE WORSENED AGAIN & I WILL TAKE IT BACK IN ONCE THE PROBLEM GETS A LITTLE WORSE. *TR

TIRES
I WAS DRIVING MY 2007 CHEVY SILVERADO 1500 AT ABOUT 40 MPH WHEN I FELT A LARGE BUMP. I LOOKED IN MY REAR VIEW MIRROR AND SAW SOMETHING FLYING IN THE AIR ABOUT 20 FEET OFF THE GROUND BEHIND ME. WHEN I STARTED TO PULL OVER, IT BOUNCED SEVERAL TIMES IN ABOUT 20' HIGH BOUNDS AND STARTED ROLLING AT ME WITH SIGNIFICANT VELOCITY. THAT'S WHEN I REALIZED THAT IT WAS MY SPARE TIRE THAT FELL OFF FROM UNDERNEATH MY TRUCK. I BARELY MOVED OUT OF THE WAY OF THE ROLLING TIRE BEFORE IT HIT ME. IT CONTINUED ROLLING THROUGH A BUSY INTERSECTION NEARLY HITTING THREE CARS AND A PEDESTRIAN. IT BOUNCED OFF A BRICK WALL AND CAME BACK THROUGH THE INTERSECTION AND FINALLY STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE. I RETRIEVED THE TIRE AND FOUND THAT THE ENTIRE HOIST AND TIRE ASSEMBLY IS ONLY SECURED WITH ONE SMALL BOLT. THE BOLT WAS STILL IN THE CHASSIS, BUT THE BRACKET IT WAS HOLDING WAS LITERALLY RIPPED AWAY FROM THE BOLT. I AM AN ENGINEER AND AFTER DOING A FEW ROUGH CALCULATIONS, I FOUND THAT THIS IS A SERIOUS DESIGN FLAW THAT WILL RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURIES OR DEATHS, IF IT HASN'T ALREADY. IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT THE MANUFACTURER CORRECT THIS AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. *TR
