TIRES:PRESSURE MONITORING AND REGULATING SYSTEMS
THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM REQUIRES A PRESSURE OF 80 PSI IN THE REAR TIRES OF THE TRUCK. THIS IS VERY EXCESSIVE UNLESS YOU ARE HAULING A VERY HEAVY LOAD. UNLOADED, THIS CAUSES A DONUT SHAPED TIRE AND CAUSES SEVERE CUPPING IN THE TIRE WEAR. GM WILL NOT LOWER THE THRESHOLD AT THEIR SERVICE DEPARTMENT. THIS ALSO CREATES AN ISSUE IF DIFFERENT TIRES ARE PUT ON THE VEHICLE THAT REQUIRE A LOWER PSI. LOAD RANGE D TIRES REQUIRE LESS THAN 65 PSI, SO EVEN AT MAX PSI THESE TIRES ARE OVER INFLATED. WITH EITHER TIRE, THE THRESHOLD IS TOO HIGH. THE SYSTEM TELLS YOU THAT YOU HAVE LOW TIRE PRESSURE IF YOU INFLATE THE TIRES TO A PROPER UNLOADED PRESSURE. AT THE SUGGESTED PRESSURE, NOT ONLY IS TIRE WEAR GREATLY INTENSIFIED AND UNEVEN, ONLY THE CENTER PART OF THE TIRE MAKES GROUND CONTACT CAUSING EASY TRACTION LOSS IN THE REAR END, ESPECIALLY IN WET CONDITIONS. THIS HIGH OF A PRESSURE UNLOADED ALSO CAUSES AN EVEN HARSHER RIDE THAN NORMAL. TAKING THIS ISSUE TO THE DEALER (MCLARTY IN HUNTSVILLE) TO GET A PROPER THRESHOLD SET RESULTED IN A RUN AROUND. NOT ONLY DO I LOSE MY ABILITY TO KNOW IF I HAVE A FLAT TIRE (SYSTEM ALWAYS SHOWS A LOW PRESSURE), I LOSE MY ABILITY TO PUT ON A BETTER QUALITY THAN STOCK TIRE (WHICH REQUIRES LESS THAN GM REQUIRED 80 PSI TO NOT SET OFF THE TPMS ALERTS), AND MY TIRES WEAR ABNORMALLY AND VERY QUICKLY. ALSO MY TRACTION IS VERY LIMITED WHEN NOT TOWING A LOAD. THE CUSTOMER SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO ADJUST FOR THE TIRE PRESSURES THAT APPLY TO THEIR APPLICATION. I HAVE ALREADY RUINED ONE SET OF STOCK SIZED TIRES THAT WERE OVER INFLATED. THIS IS A GM PROBLEM THAT KEEPS GETTING FLUSHED DOWN THE DRAIN. *TR

TOOK MY SILVERADO 2500 IN FOR SOME MAINTENANCE AND THE DEALER INFORMED ME THE TRANSMISSION COOLER LINES WERE LEAKING AT THE FITTINGS FROM THE COOLER LINES TO THE COOLER.

STRUCTURE:BODY
I HAVE A 2007 CHEVROLET 3/4 TON PICKUP PURCHASED NEW. I HAULED 4 CATTLE SYRUP TUBS WHICH WEIGH 250 LBS A PIECE A TOTAL WEIGHT OF 1000 POUNDS TO MY LAND LEASE WHICH WAS ABOUT 70 MILES FROM WHERE I PURCHASED THE TUBS. BY THE TIME I GOT TO MY LEASE THE TUBS HAD MOVED AROUND BED. WHEN I REMOVED THE TUBS OUR OF THE PICKUP THEY HAD CAVED IN BOTH FINDER WELLS AND SEPARATED THE FINDER WELL FROM THE BED CAUSING ABOUT A 2-3 INCH GAP IN THE BED OF BY PICKUP. I HAVE PICTURES OF THIS. THIS PICKUP HAS 580000 MILES ON IT AND I CAN SEE THE GROUND ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE FINDER WELL BY 2-3 INCHES. IF CHEVROLET IS SUCH A TOUGH TRUCK THIS SHOULD NOT OF HAPPENED. I OWN A 2001 CHEVY 1/2 TON Z71 HAVE HAULED THE SAME AMOUNT OF THESE TUBS OF 1000 LBS IT DENTED THE FENDER WELLS BUT NEVER SEPARATED THE BED. WE OWN 6 CHEVROLET PICKUPS AND HAVE ALWAYS BEEN HAPPY WITH GM PRODUCTS BUT THIS CERTAINLY MAKES YOU WONDER ABOUT THE BUILD CHEVY TOUGH MOTO. I WOULD APPRECIATE A RESPONSE ON HOW TO HANDLE THIS AS I FEEL THIS IS A DEFECT IN THIS BED TO COME APART THE WAY THAT IT DID. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, SEAT BELTS
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH ON NORMAL ROAD CONDITIONS, THE SEAT BELT RETRACTOR HOUSING UNIT EXPLODED UNEXPECTEDLY. THE FAILURE CAUSED A LOUD POPPING NOISE DURING THE EXPLOSION. IMMEDIATELY, THE DRIVER PULLED OVER INTO A PARKING LOT TO INSPECT THE VEHICLE. ONSTAR CUSTOMER SERVICE RESPONDED WITH AN INDICATION OF A FRONT END CRASH; HOWEVER, THERE WAS NO CRASH AND THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND REMAINED LIT UNTIL THE ENGINE WAS TURNED OFF. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING AND THEY STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS RELATED TO CORROSION IN THE WIRING SYSTEM. THE PARTS FOR THE REPAIR WERE UNAVAILABLE AND THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE VIN AND MILEAGES WERE UNKNOWN.

EQUIPMENT
THE SPEAKER IN THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE DOOR STARTED BUZZING, AND AFTER A FEW MONTHS IT HAD SPREAD TO ALL FOUR SPEAKERS. THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THEY WON'T REPAIR IT EVEN THOUGH IT IS A WELL KNOWN AND FREQUENTLY OCCURRING PROBLEM. THIS TRUCK IS ONLY 2 AND 1/2 YEARS OLD. IT HAS OVER 50,000 MILES BECAUSE I HAVE A LONG COMMUTE TO WORK. *TR

STRUCTURE, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
I TOOK MY NEW CHEVY TRUCK INTO THE DEALER FOR SOME NEW FACTORY EQUIPMENT (BUG DEFLECTOR AND BED LINER) TO BE INSTALLED BY THEM. WHILE THE DEALER HAD MY 2007 CHEVY TRUCK THEY LOADED 2008 POWER TRAIN SOFTWARE INTO IT'S COMPUTER WITHOUT MY PERMISSION. THE 2008 SOFTWARE CHANGED THE WAY MY TRUCK RUNS. THE POWER TRAIN NOW HAS A SPEED LIMITER ON IT AND THE STABILITY CONTROL WAS CHANGED. IT WILL NOT GO AS FAST IT AS USE TO GO BEFORE THE CHANGE. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER AND GM THEY WOULD NOT PUT MY TRUCK BACK THE WAY IT WAS AS WHEN I BOUGHT IT. THEY TOLD ME THAT THE REASON WAS THE GOODYEAR TIRES AND THE TRUCK DESIGN WERE UNSAFE WITHOUT THE 2008 SOFTWARE INSTALLED AND WOULD NOT CHANGE MY TRUCK BACK TO THE 2007 CONFIGRATION . I HAVE NOT GOTTEN ANY RECALL OR SAFETY NOTICES ABOUT THIS ISSUE. I THINK GM AND THE DEALER MADE A MISTAKE AND DO NOT WANT TO CORRECT IT. IF THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE TIRES (GOODYEAR WRANGLER TIRES) AND THE 2007 TRUCK DESIGN (GM SILVERADO 1500 LTS CREW CAB) GM IS TRYING TO COVER IT UP. THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF 2007 GM TRUCKS, CARS, SUV'S EVEN CADILLAC'S THAT HAVE THE SAME POWER TRAIN IN THEM THAT MY TRUCK HAS AND THEY ARE NOT CHANGING THE COMPUTER PROGRAMS IN ALL THOSE VEHICLES. I WAS TOLD THEY WOULD BE CHANGED ONLY IF THE TRUCKS, SUV'S AND CARS WERE BROUGHT IN FOR ANY KIND OF SERVICE WORK, BUT WOULD NOT BE CHANGED IF NOT SERVICED BY GM. SENSE THERE HAVE BEEN NO RECALL NOTICES ABOUT THESE ISSUES I THINK GM IS TRYING TO COVER SOMETHING UP . THE VERY LEAST TRYING TO COVER UP THEIR DEALERS AND THERE MISTAKE BY ALTERING MY TRUCK WITHOUT MY PERMISSION OR THEY DO HAVE A SERIOUS PROBLEM THAT THE PUBLIC SHOULD BE AWARE OF. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS. THE SAME TIRES ARE ON FORDS AND DODGES AND THEY DON'T SOFTWARE LIMIT THERE PERFORMANCE. I PAID TOP DOLLAR FOR GM'S BEST TRUCK WITH THE BIGGEST ENGINE MADE FOR IT, I COULD HAVE SAVED A LOT OF MONEY BY BUYING A SIX CYLINDER ENGINE INSTEAD OF THE BIG V-8. IF I KNEW GM WAS GOING TO DE-RATE MINE. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MY TRUCK WILL NOT START ALL THE TIME. 60 DAYS AFTER PURCHASING NEW TRUCK I STARTED HAVING MANY DEAD BATTERIES. I WAS RECEIVING EMAILS FROM ONSTAR AT SAME TIME TELLING ME THEY HAD DIAGNOSED MY TRUCK THE PRECEDING NIGHT. I ADVISED ONSTAR TO STAY OUT OF MY TRUCK BECAUSE OF THE PROBLEM. ABOUT 5 MONTHS LATER (NOVEMBER 2008) I STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS AGAIN. I HAD ANOTHER DEAD BATTERY. LATEST HAPPENED 1/16/2009 TRUCK WOULD NOT START BUT BATTERY WAS FULLY CHARGED. I HAD TRUCK TAKEN TO DEALER. DEALER GOT IT STARTED AND SAID THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THEY DID NOT FIX ANYTHING. I PICK UP TRUCK 1/20/2009. 1/21/2009 I STARTED TRUCK WITH MY REMOTE, GOT IN TRUCK, INSERTED KEY AND THEN TURNED OFF MOTOR. I TRIED TO START IT AGAIN AND TRUCK WOULD NOT START. I WAITED AN HOUR AND TRIED TRUCK AGAIN. THE TRUCK STARTED. I DROVE IT IMMEDIATELY TO A DIFFERENT DEALER. GM CALLED ME 1/23/2009 AND SAID THEY COULD NOT FIND ANY PROBLEM WITH MY TRUCK. I HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM FOR 12 DIFFERENT TIMES. ONE TIME THE RADIO WAS OVERHEATED WHEN BATTERY WAS DEAD, BUT LATELY THE BATTERY IS NOT DEAD. THIS TRUCK IS PROVING TO BE VERY UNRELIABLE AND I AM VERY FRUSTRATED. CAN YOU HELP ME! *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET SILVERADO KING CAB. EVER SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED, THE STARTER HAS FAILED. INITIALLY, THE DEALER BELIEVED THAT THE ONSTAR WAS AFFECTING THE STARTER. THE MANUFACTURER REMEDIED THE ONSTAR ISSUE, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE DEALER FINALLY STATED THAT THERE WAS A DEFECT WITH THE STARTER.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VISIBILITY, EQUIPMENT
BATTERY CHARGING AT INCORRECT / INCONSISTENT LEVELS, THE GAGE WILL SHOW BATTERY CHARGING AT 15 OR HIGHER AND SUDDENLY CHANGE TO 11 OR LOWER. VEHICLE HAS BEEN AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE AND THE MECHANICS EITHER DO NOT CHECK IT OR FAIL TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE ISSUE. TODAY THE DEALER PROVIDED A BULLETIN STATING THAT THIS IS NORMAL. THIS BULLETIN IS DATED JULY 2008; HOWEVER THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT SEVERAL TIMES SINCE FOR THIS ISSUE. ADDITIONAL ISSUE IS THE BACK UP WARNING FEATURE; THE VEHICLE HAS SENSORS THAT NOTIFY THE DRIVER WHEN THE VEHICLE IS TOO CLOSE TO AN OBJECT, THE SENSORS EITHER FAIL TO WORK ALTOGETHER OR SIGNALS THE DRIVER WHEN IT IS TOO LATE. HAVE NEARLY BACKED UP INTO PEOPLE / OTHER VEHICLES, TO DATE NO ACCIDENTS. BUT THE VEHICLE SIZE IT IS DIFFICULT TO KNOW WHEN AN OBJECT IS BEHIND IT; OR HOW CLOSE IT IS. *TR
