What this page shows
Everything below is an owner-reported complaint submitted to NHTSA about the 2007 GMC Silverado, 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.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 GMC SILVERADO. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO AN AUTO GARAGE FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND TIRE ROTATION AND WAS INFORMED THAT BOTH FRONT DISCS, THE BRAKE LINING, AND ROTORS WERE WORN. HE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER IN NOVEMBER OF 2007 FOR INSPECTION AND FELT THAT THIS FAILURE SHOULD HAVE BEEN DETECTED AT THAT TIME. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 5,500.

From owner reports, verbatim
I PURCHASED A NEW BANKS ELECTRONIC SPEED BRAKE PN 55445 WITH SELECTOR SWITCH, FIRMWARE REV. 555431-05-02, SERIAL # SAA40615284 AND INSTALLED IT ON OUR GMC 2500 HD PICKUP PER SUPPLIED INSTRUCTIONS. SHORTLY AFTER INSTALLATION IT BEGAN CAUSING THE ALLISON 6 SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION TO RANDOMLY GO INTO NEUTRAL WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. I WOULD HAVE TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND STOP, PUT THE TRANSMISSION IN PARK AND BACK INTO DRIVE TO RESET THE PROBLEM AND RESUME DRIVING. THIS HAPPENED TWICE WHILE TOWING OUR 12,000 LB 5TH WHEEL RV. FORTUNATELY IT DID NOT OCCUR WHILE GOING DOWN A STEEP GRADE WHERE ENGINE BRAKING WAS REQUIRED TO CONTROL SPEED. IF IT HAD OCCURRED UNDER THOSE CIRCUMSTANCES, IT COULD HAVE BEEN A LIFE THREATENING SITUATION. I REMOVED THE BANKS ELECTRONIC SPEED BRAKE FROM THE TRUCK AND THE PROBLEM NO LONGER OCCURRED. CLEARLY THIS PRODUCT CREATED A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE.

Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
