2007 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Fuel system Problems

WHEN I TRY STARTING THE TRUCK IT MAKES A CLICKING SOUND LIKE IT WANTS TO TURN OVER AND THEN WON'T. SOMETIMES IT NEVER HAPPENS AND OTHER TIMES IT MAY TAKE THREE OR FOUR TIMES OF TRYING TO GET IT TO START BEFORE IT WILL. THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND CONTINUED TO STAY ON. TOOK IT TO A CHEVY DEALER AND WAS PLACED ON THE DIAGNOSTIC COMPUTER AND I WAS TOLD CODES FOUND WERE PO174 AND PO171. SMOKE TEST WAS PERFORMED ON EVAP SYSTEM AND INDUCTION SYSTEM. FOUND LEAKS AT THE PCV HOSE, PURGE VALVE HOSES AND PURGE VALVE IS STUCK OPEN. THESE WERE REMOVED AND REPLACED BOTH PURGE VALVE HOSES, PURGE VALVE AND PCV HOSE. $523.80 LATER THE PROBLEM IS STILL NOT FIXED.

I PURCHASED THE 2007 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER THINKING I WOULD HAVE A GOOD DEPENDABLE CAR, NOT SO. THE STABIL-I TRAC CHECK LIGHT COMES ON AND THEN WHEN THE CAT IS RESTARTED IT GOES OFF. THE GAS GAUGE HAS DROPPED TO EMPTY AND WILL NO LONGER INDICATE FUEL IN TANK, THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL NOTICE ON THIS , HOWEVER GM IS ONLY PAYING FOR 50% OF THE COST OF REPAIR. I HAD AND ACCIDENT ($ 2400.00) DUE TO THIS GAS GAUGE FAILURE, NO ONE HURT BUT COULD HAVE BEEN DISASTROUS. GM WAS NOTIFIED AND A CLAIM FILED AND THE RESULTS WERE THEY WERE NOT AT FAULT. NOW THE LOWBEAM LIGHTING SYSTEM ON THE VEHICLE HAS GONE OUT. I HAVE HAD THE FUSES, SENSOR, AND THE BULBS CHECKED AND NO ONE CAN FIND THE PROBLEM. I AM VERY FRUSTRATED WITH GM AND THE FACT THAT THE CARS THEY PRODUCE NOW ARE SUBSTANDARD AND THEY ARE NOT STANDING BEHIND THEIR PRODUCTS.WHERE DO I TURN NOW? I NEED MY VEHICLE. *TR

I HAVE A 2007 CHEVY SILVERADO AND THE GAS GAUGE HAS BEEN ACTING UP FOR ABOUT A YEAR NOW. I CAN FILL THE TRUCK ALL THE WAY UP WITH GAS, DRIVE IT HOME FROM THE GAS STATION(7 MILES) AND THE GAS GAUGE WILL BE READING ABOUT 3/4 TANK. WHEN I GO TO DRIVE IT THE NEXT DAY IT READS 1/2 TANK THEN BY THE TIME I GET TO THE INTERSTATE (15 MILES AWAY) IT WILL BE BETWEEN 3/4 AND FULL. I LOVE THE TRUCK BUT WISH CHEVY WOULD PUT A RECALL OUT ON THERE SENDING UNITS BECAUSE I KNOW PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AND HAVE SEEN MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE. *TR

MY SON WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY IN TEXAS WHEN THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN AND THE CAR STOPPED RUNNING. HE LOST ALL POWER STEERING AND COULD BARELY GET OFF THE ROAD IN TIME. THE CAR HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE NEAREST TOWN IN GAINESVILLE. THE DIAGNOSIS WAS THE SENDING UNIT FAILED AND IN TURN CAUSED DAMAGE TO THE FUEL PUMP THAT MADE IT INOPERABLE. MY CONCERN IS THAT THERE WAS NO WARNING LIGHT OR ANY KIND OF INDICATION THAT THIS PROBLEM WAS ABOUT TO OCCUR. THERE WAS NO WAY TO PREVENT THIS. THE FUEL LEVEL READ THAT THERE SHOULD HAVE BEEN 1/4 TO 1/2 TANK OF GAS BUT THE MECHANIC MEASURED 1/8 - 1/4. I'M NOT SURE IF THE GAS LEVEL ATTRIBUTED TO THE SHUT DOWN OR NOT. THAT IS SOMETHING THAT I'M SURE WILL BE FACTORED IN TO YOUR INVESTIGATION. I FEEL LIKE THIS WAS A DEFINITE OPPORTUNITY FOR ME TO SPEAK UP AND TAKE ACTION. MY SON WAS SPARED FROM INJURY OR DEATH AND THERE NEEDS TO BE A SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM TO AVOID THESE IRREVERSIBLE CONSEQUENCES. WHETHER IT BE AN INDICATOR LIGHT OR BETTER YET REDESIGN OF THE SYSTEMS SO THAT THEY CANNOT SHUT DOWN THE CAR AUTOMATICALLY. REMEMBER HE WAS DRIVING 60 MILES AND HOUR ON AN EXTREMELY BUSY HIGHWAY, THE OUTCOME COULD HAVE EASILY BEEN VERY GRIM, ESPECIALLY HAD IT OCCURRED AT NIGHT. I MAY HAVE BEEN PLANNING A FUNERAL INSTEAD NOTIFYING PEOPLE HOW TO AVOID ONE. PLEASE TAKE THIS AS SERIOUSLY AS I HAVE AND TAKE ACTION TO ELIMINATE THE POTENTIAL DAMAGING EFFECTS OF THIS TYPE OF FAILURE. I HAVE DOCUMENTATION OF SHOP RECORDS ETC. AND WILL BE HAPPY TO PROVIDE ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION YOU MAY NEED TO PROCEED. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. *TR

I JUST BOUGHT A USED 2006 SILVERADO 1500 FROM A DEALER. WENT HOME WITH A FULL TANK OF GAS, WEEK LATER WENT TO FILL IT UP AND THE NEEDLE STOPPED HALFWAY BETWEEN 3/4 AND FULL AND IT WOULD NOT LET ME PUT IT IN. TRUCK HAD 14650 MILES ON IT WHEN IT STARTED AND NOW HAS 16450. STILL UNDER WARRANTY AND HAS BEEN TO THE DHOP 6 TIMES AND THEY HAVE REPLACED EVERY PART OF THE FUEL SYSTEM AND STILL NO BETTER. THE NEXT STEP IS TO BRING A GM REP IN TO DETERMINE WHAT IS WRONG. *TR

1. NO EVENTS NOTED. 2. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATES AND STABILITY TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT ILLUMINATE PERIODICALLY. WHEN EVER THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT IS ON, THERE IS A VERY SHARP JOLT IN THE REAR END WHENEVER THE VEHICLES START MOVING. 3. TAKEN INTO THE DEALER TWICE NOW. NO REMEDY. STATED THEY THROUGH IT WAS THE FUEL BEING USED. SO I HAVE RAN SEVERAL TANKS OF FUEL THROUGH IT NOW AND IT STILL HAS THE LIGHTS. I HAVE MADE SURE I PURCHASED FUEL FROM LARGE DEALER SUCH AS SHELL OR CONOCO TO MAKE SURE FUEL SHOULD BE GOOD. I WILL TAKE THE TRUNK IN AGAIN THIS WEEK. *TR
