2007 Chevrolet Silverado Classic

YESTERDAY ON 4/10/2014 AT 2:00PM I GET INTO MY 2007 CHEVY SILVERADO 1500 CLASSIC CREW CAB AND START MY TRUCK. I NOTICE THAT ONCE I LET GO OF THE GET IT NEVER RETURNED TO THE ON POSITION FROM RUN/START POSITION. THE TRUCK IS RUNNING AND UNABLE TO TURN OFF. I HAD TO GO UNDER THE HOOD FUSE BOX TO PULL THE PCM FUSE TO SHUT THE TRUCK OFF. THIS HOW EVER STILL LEFT THE TRUCK ON. IT IS NOW SITTING IN THE SHOP IN PHOENIX, AZ AAA OWNED AND OPERATED SHOP ON 75TH AVE AND THUNDERBIRD. I WILL BE REQUESTING THE PARTS AFTER SEEING AND HEARING THE "IGNITION SWITCH RECALL" OF OTHER GM VEHICLES. *TR

PLASTIC TABS THAT HOLD THE PASSENGER SIDE REAR TAILLIGHT ASSEMBLY IN PLACE BROKE FOR NO APPARENT REASON, ALLOWING THE ENTIRE TAILLIGHT ASSEMBLY TO FALL OUT AND BE DANGLING BY THE WIRES JUST OFF THE PAVEMENT. THIS COULD BE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AT NIGHT. THE TAILLIGHT ASSEMBLY ON THE DRIVERS SIDE HAD A SIMILAR FAILURE TWO WEEKS LATER. IT APPEARS THIS IS A FACTORY DEFECT IN EITHER THE MATERIAL OR HOW THE TIGHT THE PLASTIC CLIPS ARE TORQUED ON, RESULTING IN CRACKING THAT FAILS OVER TIME. THE TRUCK IS JUST OUT OF WARRANTY SO CHEVROLET WILL NOT ADDRESS THE ISSUE. CURRENTLY HELD ON WITH DUCT TAPE AS THAT IS PROBABLY SAFER THAN A REPLACEMENT IF THE DESIGN FLAW HAS NOT BEEN CORRECTED. CHEVROLET NEEDS TO RECALL ALL THE TRUCKS WITH THIS STYLE TAILLIGHT ASSEMBLY AND PROVIDE A FIX TO THIS SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

2007 CHEVROLET SILVERADO CLASSIC 1500; REDUCED ENGINE POWER COMES ON AND ENGINE SLOWS WAY DOWN NO MATTER WHERE YOU ARE. ALMOST WAS IN BIG WRECK ON INTERSTATE. EVIDENTLY GM DOESNT WANT TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. HAVE READ MANY REPORTS ON INTERNET ABOUT THIS ERROR MESSAGE AND GM'S INABILITY TO FIX IT OR EVEN CLAIM TO FIX IT. THIS IS A VERY BAD SAFETY ISSUE AND SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET KILLED. GM HAS ALREADY SHOWN, BY MANY REPORTS, THAT THEY DO NOT INTEND TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS ENGINE PROBLEM. FROM ALL THE REPORTS THAT I HAVE READ, THE PROBLEM NEVER GETS FIXED. WE JUST KEEP THROWING MONEY AT IT AND WE HAVE TO KEEP COMING BACK. IF THEY DO NOT FIX THIS ISSUE, I WILL BE SUING GM FOR THIS ISSUE AND MAKE SOMEONE TAKE RESPONSIBILITY. IT IS HIGHLY DANGEROUS. *TT

AIR CONDITIONING JUST QUITS. CHECK FUSES OKAY. TOOK TRUCK TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY CHARGED $656.27 TO FIX A SHORT IN THE BLOWER RESISTOR RESULTING IN CONNECTOR MELTING AND BLOWER FAILURE. NEWER TRUCK AND ASKED DEALERSHIP IF UNDER WARRANTY OR IF RECALL, INFORMED ME THERE WAS NOT. GOT ON INTERNET AT HOME AND FOUND SEVERAL RECALLS ON 2007 CHEVY SILVERADO'S AND INFORMED DEALERSHIP THROUGH EMAILS, ABOUT RECALLS AND THAT IS WHEN I LEARNT OUR TRUCK WAS MANUFACTURED IN CANADA. CALLED DEALERSHIP WHERE WE PURCHASED THE TRUCK IN TEXAS TO INFORM THEM OF RECALLS AND THEY SAID IT DID NOT APPLY TO OUR TRUCK BECAUSE IT WAS KILOMETERS AND WE HAVE MILEAGE, DO I SOUND LIKE I AM BUBBA? RECALLS ARE FROM TRANSPORT CANADA AND NUMBERS ARE 2011074-EXACT PROBLEM OUR TRUCK IS HAVING; AND 2009291 DEALS WITH AIRBAGS(WHICH I HAVE NOT EVEN ATTEMPTED TO ADDRESS BECAUSE OF THE RUN AROUND I HAVE ALREADY EXPERIENCED. CANADIAN TRUCKS SHOULD NOT BE SOLD IN AMERICA IF RECALLS ARE NOT GOING TO BE HONORED. FIRE POSSIBILITY AND AIRBAG DEPLOYING ARE VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUES. CALLED GM OR CHEVROLET, HAVE ALL EMAILS OF PERSONNEL I HAVE CONTACTED IN REGARDS TO THIS ISSUE.

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.

THE ABS COMES ON AT SPEEDS OF 7MPH AND 3 MPH ON MY 2007 CHEVY SILVERADO. I LIVE IN PENNSYLVANIA WHICH IS CONSIDERED THE SNOW BELT IN THE NORTH EAST, I HAD A 2000 SILVERADO AND THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE ABS BRAKE SYSTEM AND GM SAYS THERE IS NO RECALL ON MY TRUCKS ABS AND THE PROBLEM IS THE SAME AS THE 2000 WHICH WAS A RECALL IN 2005. *LN

INTERMEDIATE STEERING COLUMN, CLUNKING NOISE RADIATING UP THROUGH THE STEERING COLUMN, VERY PRONOUNCED WHEN TURNING THE VEHICLE, NOISE HAS BECOME WORSE AND OWNER IS ANNOYED AND CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THE VEHICLE. CONTACTING THE DEALER, THEY WANT TO CHARGE FOR THE DIAGNOSIS OF THE PROBLEM. DEALER HAS ALSO STATED THAT THE INTERMEDIATE STEERING SHAFT IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THE PROBLEM WAS PRESENT WHEN I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE. I THOUGHT IT WAS THE SHOCK ABSORBERS ON THE FRONT AND HAD NO DESIRE TO HAVE THE SAME 'CHEAP' SHOCKS REPLACED. UPON MY OBTAINING FOUR KYB BRAND SHOCK ABSORBERS AND INSTALLING THEM, IT BECAME APPARENT TO ME THAT THERE WAS A DIFFERENT PROBLEM. AFTER SOME RESEARCH, I FOUND A 'SERVICE BULLETIN' CONCERNING THE PROBLEM. UPON TALKING TO THE DEALER AND A FACTORY REPRESENTATIVE, I REALIZED THAT THEY DID NOT GIVE A DARN - THEY REFUSE TO REPLACE THE INTERMEDIATE STEERING COLUMN. I HAVE SINCE LEARNED THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH NOT ONLY MY VEHICLE 'TYPE' BUT ALSO MANY OTHER GM VEHICLE 'TYPES.' *TR
