2007 Chevrolet C Series Problems

Owner-reported complaints filed with NHTSA, grouped by component

Data refreshed

Owner complaintsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

What this page shows

Everything below is an owner-reported complaint submitted to NHTSA about the 2007 Chevrolet C Series, grouped by the component NHTSA recorded on the report. These are not confirmed defects, and they are not recalls. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a category with more reports in it is not evidence that a part is defective.

Complaints are reports submitted by owners and drivers to NHTSA. They are not verified and do not establish that a defect exists.

I MADE A RIGHT HAND TURN FROM A HIGHWAY FEEDER ROAD ONTO A PAVED STREET AT ABOUT 20-25 MPH AND AFTER COMPLETING THE TURN THE SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAGS DEPLOYED WITHOUT WARNING. THE LOSS OF TRACTION LIGHT NEVER CAME ON PRIOR TO THE DEPLOYMENT. THE REPRESENTATIVE FROM CHEVROLET WAS LESS THAN HELPFUL, REFUSED TO GET ME A RENTAL CAR, TOLD ME AN INSPECTOR WOULD CALL ME "IN A DAY OR TWO" AND THAT I HAD TO SOMEHOW GET THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP. *TR
