ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VISIBILITY/WIPER, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED WOULD ROLL DOWN WINDOW AND HEAD LIGHTS WOULD DIM. BLOWER FOR HEATER AND DEFROSTER WOULD CUT IN AND OUT. THERE WAS A DISTINCT ODOR WHEN USING DEFROSTER AND THEN IT QUIT ALL TOGETHER. THIS WAS DURING WINTER WHICH MADE THE TRUCK UN-DRIVABLE UNTIL REPAIRED. 10-14 DAY AFTER THE BLOWER MOTOR WAS REPLACED THE OIL SENDING UNIT STOPPED WORKING AND ALL WARNING LIGHTS WERE LITE UP. THE DEALER SHIP STATED THAT IT WAS A KNOW ISSUE WITH THE WIRING HARNESS AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED WHICH WAS NOT CHEAP. THEY DID SAY EVEN THOUGH IT IS A KNOW ISSUE THAT WE WERE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE COST OF REPAIR. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE TWO DOOR LOCKS ON THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR SINCE PURCHASE THIS VEHICLE BRAND NEW. I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE LOST FUNCTION OF THE AIR CONTROL UNIT AND THEN RESET MONTHS LATER. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE IN ONCE TO PROGRAM THE COMPUTER AND AIR CONTROL UNIT, WHICH HAS GONE OUT TWICE AND THEN RETURNED BACK TO THE CORRECT FUNCTIONAL AIR SETTING MONTHS LATER AFTER SUPPOSEDLY PROGRAMED WHILE UNDER WARRANTY. JUST RECENTLY IT HAS STARTED TO GIVE ME A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WHICH STATES THE IGNITION SWITCH IS HAVING THE WRONG KEY, AND THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN GIVING ME OTHER WARNINGS WITH TRACTION CONTROL, CHECK GAS CAP, AND THE RADIO TIME CLOCK RESETS ITSELF. I HAD TO REPLACE A BATTERY IN THIS VEHICLE IN IT'S 3RD YEAR. IS THIS VEHICLE IN TROUBLE AS ALL THE OTHER PROBLEMS GENERAL MOTORS HAVE HAD??? *TR

STRUCTURE
I NOTICED WHEN I GOT INTO MY VEHICLE THAT THERE WAS A CRACK ON THE PASSENGER SIDE DASH, RIGHT ABOVE THE AIRBAG. THIS CAN'T BE SAFE! IF THE AIRBAG WERE TO DEPLOY, THEN WHAT IS TO STOP THE REST OF THE DASH TO EXPLODE APART LIKE SHRAPNEL CAUSING INJURY TO SOME IN THE VEHICLE. I AM AFRAID FOR MY PASSENGERS SAFETY! ABOUT A WEEK LATER FOUND ANOTHER CRACK ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE OF THE DASH. I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH AND THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF OTHERS WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEMS! ALSO, THEIR PICTURES POSTED ON SOCIAL MEDIA SHOW THE CRACKS ARE IN THE SAME LOCATIONS AS THAT OF MY DASH. I HONESTLY BELIEVE THAT THIS PROBLEM IS DUE TO POOR DESIGN AND CHEAP CONSTRUCTED PARTS. GM SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE AND RECTIFY THESE ISSUES BEFORE SOMEONE GETS INJURED OR EVEN WORSE. HERE IS A LINK TO THE SOCIAL MEDIA GROUP PAGE WHICH IS ONLY ABOUT THIS ISSUE: [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
WHILE DRIVING ALONG ROADWAY AND APPROACHING INTERSECTION I APPLIED THE BRAKES NORMALLY TO SLOW DOWN AND STOP MY TRUCK. THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. THE TRUCK DID STOP AND I SAW FLUID UNDER THE TRUCK. I DROVE CAREFULLY TO THE SERVICE STATION AND HAD THE ENTIRE BRAKE SYSTEM INSPECTED. THE MECHANIC DETERMINED ALL THE BRAKE LINES WERE SEVERELY RUSTED AND WOULD NEED REPLACEMENT. THIS WAS ACCOMPLISHED AT THE COST OF $2,300.00 TO ME. *TR

ENGINE
DEFECTIVE EXHAUST MANIFOLD BOLTS. THE BOLT HEADS ARE BREAKING OFF OF MY 2007 CHEVY SILVERADO CREW CAB TRUCK. THIS IS A WELL MAINTAINED LIGHTLY USED TRUCK I USE FOR WORK. AFTER DISCOVERING THE PROBLEM, I WENT TO THE INTERNET TO SEARCH SOLUTIONS ON THIS PROBLEM AND THAT'S HOW I FOUND OUT THAT THIS IS A VERY BIG PROBLEM WITH THIS TRUCK ENGINE. THERE IS NO TSB ON THIS OR A RECALL, BUT THERE SHOULD BE, ENGINES AFFECTED ARE ALL V-8'S FROM 4.8L, 5.3L, AND 6.0L. VERY EXPENSIVE REPAIR THAT SHOULDN'T HAVE HAPPENED IN THE FIRST PLACE. *JS

WHILE MY FAMILY AND I WERE TOWING OUR CAMPER TO START OUR VACATION, WE WERE TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY. TRAFFIC HAD STARTED TO STOP SO I STEPPED ON THE BRAKES AND THE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. THANKS TO QUICK THINKING I PUT ON THE TRAILER BRAKES TO GET US TO STOP IN TIME! AFTER PULLING OVER TO FIND THE PROBLEM I NOTICED THE BRAKE LINE WAS BLOWN OUT DUE TO CORROSION AND WAS LEAKING BRAKE FLUID ALL OVER THE ENGINE. *TR

WHEN I AM APPLYING THE BRAKES, AT ABOUT 10 MPH, THE ABS KICKS ON AND KEEPS THE TRUCK FROM STOPPING. THE DRIVING CONDITIONS HAVEN'T MATTERED. THE ROADS ARE DRY AND THERE IS NO INDICATION ON THE DASH THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM. IT IS HAPPENING PRETTY CONSISTENTLY AT SLOW SPEEDS.IT SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH THE ABS SPEED SENSOR ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. *TR

STEERING, SUSPENSION, SERVICE BRAKES
A FEW DAYS BEFORE THE INCIDENT MY LEFT FRONT BRAKES WERE MAKING A SLIGHT SQUEALING SOUND WHEN GOING STRAIGHT. IN A TURN OR WHEN THE BRAKE WAS APPLIED IT WOULD GO AWAY. VERY MINOR. THEN WHEN TRAVELING ON THE INTERSTATE AT 55 MPH I GOT A SEVERE SHUTTER IN THE STEERING WHEEL AND THE LEFT WHEEL WAS SHAKING LIKE CRAZY. I HIT THE BRAKES AND THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. AFTER I DOWNSHIFTED I GOT IT STOPPED ON A HILL. HAD IT TOWED HOME. THE LEFT WHEEL BEARING HAD MELTED!! THE WHEEL WAS LITERALLY HANGING ON AS THE DRIVESHAFT U JOINT CAME APART. THE FRONT HALF OF THE DRIVESHAFT WAS BENT AND THE BRAKES WERE SHOT. TURNS OUT THE (SEALED) HUB WAS RUSTED SO BAD IT FROZE UP. THEN IT FELL APART ON THE ROAD. LUCKILY I GOT IT STOPPED WITH WRECKING. CHEVY WANTED OVER $2200 TO FIX IT. I DID IT MYSELF FOR $330 FROM NAPA AFTER WATCHING YOUTUBE ON HOW TO DO IT. IT WAS EASY AS PIE! *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
MY TRUCK IS EXPERIENCING A MUSHY BRAKE PEDAL ISSUE. WHEN I FIRST APPLY THE BRAKES THE VEHICLES RESPONDS NORMALLY. AS I CONTINUE CONSISTENT PRESSURE THE PEDAL LOSES RESISTANCE AND BEGINS TO FADE. AT SLOW SPEEDS ON LEFT HAND TURNS THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKES ATTEMPT TO ENGAGE. YOU HEAR A NOISE ASSOCIATED WITH THIS BUT DO NOT FEEL ANY VIBRATIONS IN THE PEDAL. I HAVE INSPECTED THE BRAKE LINES AND FOUND NO OBVIOUS FAILURES. I HAVE BLED THE BRAKES. THE FLUID IS AT NORMAL LEVELS. THE PROBLEM PERSISTS. *TR
