THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL OUT ON THIS VEHICLE FOR SEVERAL YEARS NOW, I JUST LOOKED IT UP ON SAFERCAR.GOV AND IT SAYS THAT THERE IS AN UNRESOLVED RECALL OUT ON MY TRUCK. THERE ORIGINALLY HAS BEEN ONE OUT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG. BUT NOW I JUST HEARD THAT AIR BAGS ON 2007 THRU 2014 ARE INCLUDED IN A RECALL. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF MY TRUCK IS INCLUDED IN A RECALL OR NOT.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. WHILE DRIVING AT UNKNOWN SPEEDS, THE AUTO FEATURE FOR THE HEADLIGHTS FAILED TO ACTIVATE. IN ADDITION, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL FAILED TO ILLUMINATE AND THE PASSENGER SIDE WINDOWS FAILED TO OPERATE. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE LOCAL DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 84,884. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE SPEEDOMETER FAILED TO SHOW THE CURRENT SPEED OF THE VEHICLE, THE OIL PRESSURE WAS NOT REGISTERING IN THE VEHICLE, AND THE HORN FAILED TO SOUND. THE FAILURES RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR DIAGNOSED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN. ....UPDATED 03-31-16 *BF THE CONSUMER STATED SEATBELTS LOCK UP AND REAR LATCH COVER IS BROKEN, TRANSMISSION SHIFTING HARD AT TIMES, EXTERIOR LIGHTING EXPIRING, WINDOWS GOING OFF TRACK, AND TIRES LOSING AIR PRESSURE, HAS TO BE INFLATED AT VARIOUS TIMES. *TR *CN
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
WHILE DRIVING AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS DOOR LOCKS WILL CYCLE ON AND OFF, EXTERIOR LIGHTS AND DASH DISPLAY WILL GO OFF, WIPERS WILL FREEZE, ALL GAUGES WILL GO ZERO AND TWO OR THREE WARNING LIGHTS WILL COME ON SUCH AS STABILITRAK, ABS BRAKES OR SERVICE AIR BAGS. LIGHTS ETC WILL GO OFF FOR 5 SECONDS WHICH IS DANGEROUS. I TOOK IT TO STEWART CHEVROLET IN COLMA ON 2/3/14, THEY WERE ABLE TO DUPLICATE PROBLEM ON ROAD TESTS BUT WERE UNABLE TO GUARANTEE A FIX IF THEY REPLACED THE BODY CONTROL MODULE OR APPLIED TSB 08-07-30-0216 DOC ID# 2776388. HOW DO I GET THIS SAFETY ISSUE ADDRESSED? *TR
1 AVG. USE OF HEAT AND A/C 2 MELTED WIRING HARNESS TO BLOWER MOTOR 3 NOTHING DONE BY GM. *TR
THERE ARE NO PREDICTABLE EVENTS LEADING UP TO THIS HAPPENING. THE WIPERS WILL NOT COME ON AT ALL. THIS WILL LAST FROM A FEW HOURS TO A FEW DAYS. WASHERS WILL WORK. SUSPECT CONTROLLER BOARD IS DEFECTIVE. PROBLEM IS SO SPORADIC THAT I'VE NOT BEEN ABLE TO GET IT TO A DEALER IN TIME TO SHOW IT TO THEM BEFORE THE PROBLEM FIXED ITSELF. HAS HAPPENED 4 OR 5 TIMES IN LAST 2 YEARS. *TR

WINDSHIELD WIPERS AND WASHER FLUID COME ON WITHOUT NOTICE. THERE IS NO SPECIFIC TIME OF THE DAY, NUMBER OF MILES DRIVEN IN A DAY OR ANY WARNINGS THIS WILL HAPPEN. IT ALSO DOES NOT REPEAT ITSELF ON A REGULAR BASIS. IT HAS HAPPENED 4 TIMES IN LESS THAN A YEAR ON MY TRUCK. I HAVE NOT CARRIED IT BACK TO MY DEALER BECAUSE IT IS SO SPORADIC. *TR
2007 SILVERADO NEW BODY STYLE. UPON TAKING DELIVERY FROM THE DEALER I NOTICED A MASSIVE DISTORTION IN THE WINDSHIELD. DEALER HAS ORDERED A NEW ONE TO REPLACE IT. HOPEFULLY IT'S JUST AN ISOLATED PROBLEM.*AK
