SERVICE BRAKES, POWER TRAIN
GM already has a recall for brakes going out at low speed this has happened multiple times on this vehicle but there's no recall according to this Vin, the second is the transmission shakes the entire vehicle violently at higher speeds, commonly known as the "chevy shake." Multiple dealers refuse to look at the truck charging upfront fees and saying there's nothing wrong with it since there are no warning lights or other sensors on or reporting any errors, both problems have been recalled on similar vehicles just not for this Vin #, a truck with no brakes can put many at risk

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I experienced a failure of the BOSCH 4.2 fuel rail pump while driving on Interstate 65 North near Louisville KY at night and my truck had a dead pedal and was unable to accelerate any and I was in the right lane going over a bridge and two tractor trailers were in each lane behind me and having been on the bridge I was unable to leave the lane of travel until I had completely transversed the bridge I was traveling over. I did engage my emergency flashers immediately but having the trucks side by side and the truck in my lane traveling at highway speeds I was almost struck from behind as the tractor trailer applied his brakes and was able to avoid the collision luckily. I took my truck to the local dealership and was told what the issue was and I had it fixed immediately. The price of the repair was $10,362.64 give or take a few dollars. I had a warranty but that company refused to pay since it's not considered part of the engine. Dodge has issued a Recall for the exact same part as far as I am understanding but yet Chevrolet/GMC has not.

SERVICE BRAKES
I was on a 2 hour drive hauling my 8000lbs trailer when the service trailer brake alarm went off. It constantly dinged the whole 2 hour trip and caused my trailer brakes not to work putting me and my family in danger hauling such a load with no brakes. Not only do I have no brakes but the truck is deemed undrivable due to the constant distractions of the dinging. It also inoperates the message screen to see my speed or to use any other functions like voice commands and radio. I have numerous shops look at it and wasted a few hundred bucks in parts and labor to find this problem with no resolution insight. This is due to a faulty wiring harness somewhere in the truck.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
This 2007 Chevrolet Silverado has only 73,730 miles . The vehicle in question has an oil consumption issue and is available for inspection upon request. An oil consumption issue will lead to low oil and low oil pressure which can lead to a fire. Problem has been confirmed by an independent service center. Vehicle has been inspected by a certified automotive technician. Vehicle loses oil close to 100 miles and the add engine oil display on the Driver Information Center. Every trip that is close to 100 miles will cause oil consumption and the Add Engine Oil Will display. Vehicle was taken to a repair shop and i was informed that some Chevrolet Silverado Trucks engines will consume oil due to excessive amount of oil going to the pistons. The pistons result with damage to the piston rings and will need to be replaced. In the long run the engine will lose power start to smoke lose oil pressure and low compression which could lead to a fire .No recall was ever posted concerning this issue. I thought the consumption was due to viscosity breakdown until i noticed it got worse. I did some research and asked several silverado owners and they all had the same issue. I confirmed the issue when i took the vehicle to the technician.This vehicle only has 73,730 miles and i am the first owner.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
Since the purchase of the truck the vehicle does emergency breaking at different times from what seems to be faults sensor input. #1 on freeway onramp specialty circular 2 lane, if on the inside lane the truck will alarm and drop the throttle out. This also happens some time at the 3/4 point of the on ramp when cars on the freeway are perpendicular in front of the vehicle. # 2 the same alarm and throttle dropout happen on the freeway randomly and on two lane roads when vehicle are approaching on a 2 line road. I don’t know if break lights are activated, but I have had people honk at me for the deceleration.

ENGINE
When engine is cold you can smell exhaust fumes . Studs in engine are broke. smelling fumes is not a safety issue ? One other thing the battery distribution block was bad and GM knows its bad, they built a new . The truck shuts off wile driving, or does not start till you hit it with a hammer.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I have had several check engine codes on my truck. From what what the dealership tech put in his notes there is a bulletin on this. So, gm recognizes this is an issue. The dealership had to replace several wires on my ECM wiring harness due to damage from rubbing against the harness bracket. I feel that gm should issue a recall to fix the rubbing on the harness and I feel gm should have to replace the whole harness not just the damaged wires. I feel this is a hazard for these vehicles do to being on the internet state. I feel it will cause catastrophic injuries to the occupant as well as other drivers. It's hard to guess what that would cause the truck to do especially since everything is connected to the ECM.
