  2007 CHEVROLET SILVERADO TPMS (TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR SYSTEM) INOPERATIVE. THE TPMS SYSTEM DOES NOT RELEARN AS OUTLINED IN THE VEHICLE OWNER MANUAL AND IF ATTEMPTED THE SYSTEM IS RENDERED INOPERATIVE. A CONSUMER MAY NOT KNOW THE SYSTEM MALFUNCTION UNTIL THE FIRST ATTEMPT TO RELEARN, BUT GM SUPPLIED DOCUMENT ID# 1883524 INDICATES GENERAL MOTORS WAS AWARE OF THE ISSUE ON 12/28/06. DESPITE THIS INFORMATION THEY CONTINUE TO IGNORE THIS ISSUE. IT HAS NOW BEEN ONE YEAR SINCE THEY HAVE IDENTIFIED THIS ISSUE. I ALSO ATTEMPTED THE RELEARN PROCEDURE IN A 2008 VEHICLE AS WELL AND IT DID NOT FUNCTION EITHER. I HAVE MADE SEVERAL ATTEMPTS CONTACTING GM AND INCLUDING THE SELLING DEALER TO RESOLVE THIS AND NO FIX IS AVAILABLE. SPECIFICALLY GM BUSINESS RESOURCES PAULO SALVADOR (800-231-1841 EXT 11824) STATES ?NO FIX WILL BE AVAILABLE?. WITH THE ASSISTANCE OF GM CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE PERFORMING THE RELEARN PROCEDURE THE SYSTEM IS DISABLED AND INOPERATIVE. I DON'T THINK THIS WAS THE INTENT OF THE SYSTEM. THE DEALER HAS BEEN ABLE TO RELEARN THE SYSTEM USING A TOOL ONLY AND THIS OPERATION IS NOT 100% EITHER. SOME INSTANCES THE TIRES WERE RELEARNED IN THE WRONG LOCATIONS. PERSONALLY THIS RESULTED IN A FRONT TIRE LOW INDICATION WHEN ACTUALLY IT WAS THE RIGHT REAR TIRE THAT WAS LOW. AND AS STATED BEFORE WHEN ATTEMPTING TO RELEARN, THE SYSTEM GOES INOPERATIVE AND NO TIRE PRESSURE INFORMATION IS AVAILABLE. FURTHER RESEARCH CONCLUDED THAT DEALER TECHNICIANS DO NOT RELEARN TPMS WHEN ROTATING OR SERVICING TIRES. GM NEEDS TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THE INCOMPETENCE IN DEVELOPMENT AND REPAIR OF THIS SYSTEM. GM CLAIMS THEY ARE WORKING ON A FIX TO CORRECT THIS ISSUE BUT IT?S BEEN OVER A YEAR NOW AND THIS SHOULD NOT BE ACCEPTABLE. I CAN ONLY IMAGINE WHAT IT WILL TAKE BEFORE GM REACTS. *TR

  WHEN DRIVING THE TRUCK THE LIGHTS WOULD DIM AND THEN HAVE A LOSS OF POWER. DIDN'T THINK MUCH OF IT UNTIL ONE DAY GETTING OUT OF THE VEHICLE AND SHUTTING IT OFF I WENT TO PUT THE KEY BACK IN THE IGNITION AND THERE WAS NO POWER WHAT SO EVER NO DOME LIGHTS NOTHING... NO CLICKS NO DASH LIGHTS NOTHING. THEN HAD SOMEONE JUMP ME POWER AND TRUCK STARTED RIGHT AWAY. SAME DAY HAD MY BATTERY CHECKED AND ALTERNATOR AND EVERYTHING CAME OUT FINE NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH IT. HAPPENED AGAIN ABOUT A WEEK LATER BUT THIS TIME TRUCK HESITATED WHEN KEY WAS TURNED THEN IT DID NOT START RESET THE CLOCK IN THE TRUCK AND THEN HAD LIGHTS DIMMING EVERYTIME BLINKERS WERE TURNED ON. GOT HOME AND HAD A FEELING TRUCK WOULD NOT START IF I TOOK THE KEY OUT SURE ENOUGH EVERYTHING WAS DEAD WHEN I TRIED TURNING IT BACK ON. HAD TO JUMP IT AGAIN. WHEN THAT HAPPENED I GOT THE BATTERY REPLACED THINKING IT WAS FAULTY. TWO WEEKS WENT BY AND IT WAS FINE THEN AFTER PUNCHING ON THE GAS A LITTLE TO PASS A SEMI THE LOCKS WENT UP AND DOWN REALLY FAST AND HAD LIGHTS DIM AGAIN NO MESSAGE ON THE DASH OR ANYTHING. I GOT HOME AND TRUCK DID NOT START AGAIN. JUMPED IT AGAIN THEN A WEEK LATER GOING TO WORK ON THE FREEWAY THE TRUCK HAD EXTREMELY BAD TREMORS AND THEN THE LOCKS STARTED LOCKING AND UNLOCKING AGAIN THE LIGHTS AND STEREO WERE GOING ON AND OFF AND ABS LIGHT CAME ON AND VEHICLE KEPT GOING INTO NEUTRAL AND DRIVE EVERY OTHER FEW SECONDS WITCH CAUSED A CONCERN FOR MY SAFETY. GOOD THING I WAS ONLY A FEW MILES AWAY FROM HOME. I TURNED AROUND WENT HOME AND SURE ENOUGH TURNED IT OFF PUT THE KEY BACK IN AND NO POWER . EXPLAINED FAILURE TO A DEALERSHIP AND SAID POSSIBILITY WAS THE ECM. AND THEY COULD DO NOTHING UNLESS IT WAS DUPLICATED. *TR

• 12/22/2010· STEERING

  MY 2007 CREW CAB CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 WAS PURCHASED ON 11/27/06 AND IT HAS APPROXIMATELY 65,000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER AS OF 12/22/10. THE STEERING IS MAKING A CLUNKING NOISE AND JERKS WHEN TURNED TO THE LEFT WHILE MOVING IN FORWARD OR REVERSE. THIS SAME INCIDENT OCCURRED AT AROUND 20,000 MILES IN THE 2004 CHEVROLET SILVERADO THAT I PURCHASED FROM THE SAME DEALER PRIOR TO THE PURCHASE OF THIS 2007 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. AT THE FIRST SIGN OF STEERING FAILURE WITH BOTH VEHICLES, I TOOK THE VEHICLE DIRECTLY TO THE DEALER. THE STEERING MALFUNCTION IN THE 2004 CHEVROLET WAS FIXED FREE OF CHARGE. WHEN I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE (2007 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500) I WAS INFORMED BY THE SAME DEALER THAT I WANTED EXACTLY THE SAME WARRANTY AND WAS TOLD THAT IT HAD BEEN SUPPLIED. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AS I HAD DONE PREVIOUSLY. ON 12/22/10, I WAS INFORMED THAT I WOULD HAVE TO BRING MY TRUCK BACK AT 0830 ON THE MORNING OF 12/23/10 AND THAT I WOULD BE REQUIRED TO PAY A CO-PAY OF $100. I AM CERTAINLY NO MECHANIC, BUT IF THE STEERING IS FAILING, WOULD IT NOT BE A SAFETY HAZARD TO PUT THE DRIVER BACK ON THE ROAD IN THIS VEHICLE? ACCORDING TO THE COMPLAINTS THAT I HAVE READ ON YOUR SITE, THIS IS A RECURRING PROBLEM. FOR ME, THIS IS SECOND CHEVROLET SILVERADO IN WHICH THIS SAME PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED. I DO NOT REMEMBER EXACTLY WHICH PARTS THE DEALER REPLACED IN MY FIRST VEHICLE, BUT THE BEGINNING SYMPTOMS OF THIS STEERING MALFUNCTION ARE THE SAME AS THOSE THAT OCCURRED WITH MY 2004 SILVERADO. WHAT FRUSTRATES ME ABOUT THIS SITUATION IS THAT THE FAILURE SEEMS TO OCCUR QUITE FREQUENTLY IN THE CHEVROLET SILVERADO. SHOULD THEY NOT BE HELD TO SOME STANDARD OF AT LEAST REPLACING POORLY DESIGNED STEERING PARTS AT NO CHARGE? *TR

• 12/20/2021· ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

  2007 Silverado 1500. Has had a situation where truck acts a dead battery or no battery in the truck. Conditions are no start, key fob will remote start truck then truck dies all electrical in truck works. Have dad CD player shoveling cds when no key in truck. Air and heat switch’s back and forth. Door locks cycle up and down. Have to reset radio and clock after the power failed. This is not from a dead battery. All I do to reset it all is to put a battery booster to battery terminals and switch booster on and off. Truck is back to normal. Most recent advent was all this at 1 time. Door locks cycle, radio turns on and off, ac changes to heat, low fuel and seat belt alarms start sounding, instrument cluster act irrationally, speed odometer goes from 20 to60 back and forth with truck cutting off at 20 and powering to 60. After several miles of driving everything is back to normal and I drive straight to my mechanic. Cut the truck off and Bingo, acts like there is not a battery in the truck. Nothing at all electrical. Total silence. I have had minor electrical since truck was almost new. I always carry a booster pack and it worked to start truck and get me home. Now for what my mechanic found after my last disaster. There is a high amperage fuse block located under your fuse box in the engine bay. There is 2 threaded studs for wires that feed your trucks electrical. Studs had never had ant nuts on them to hold the wires secure and after 14 years of total aggravation and fear of an accident or fire. I hope truck is fixed for good. GM dealers would blow me off with any excuse why they couldn’t find a problem. They wanted to sell batteries , Pcms and ecms. The reason this becomes a safety problem is a chance of total power failing while in traffic being rear ended or worse. There really should be a recall for these trucks and checked. I’ve read hundreds of remarks from people with these same issues. I hope this helps. I am thankful to have a mechanic who will research.

  AS TO DATE,DECEMBER OF 2012, THERE ARE OVER 212 COMPLAINTS TO NHTSA ABOUT THE QUALITY OF THE 2007 SILVERADO PICKUP,BE IT 1/2 TON OR ANY OTHER. WHY HASN'T THE ABOVE ADMINISTRATION DONE SOMETHING ABOUT THE PROBLEM? MY OWN PROBLEM WITH MY VEHICLE IS ON THE LIST OF COMPLAINTS AS I HAVE ALREADY FILED A COMPLAINT WITH NHTSA, BUT TO NO AVAIL.THE GM MANUFACTURES HAVE SOLD THE CONSUMER A BILL OF GOODS. FROM READING THE LIST OF COMPLAINTS IT LEADS ONE TO THE CONCLUSION THAT THE CONSUMER HAS PURCHASED A PILE OF JUNK.THE QUALITY OF THE VEHICLES ARE BASED ON THE QUALITY OF PARTS PUT INTO THE VEHICLE WHEN IT IS PUT TOGETHER. THE AUTO COMPANIES ARE GETTING AWAY WITH HIGHWAY ROBBERY, WHEN THEY PURCHASE LOW QUALITY PARTS, PASSING THE PROBLEMS ONTO THE CONSUMER, AND NOT STANDING BEHIND THEIR WORKMANSHIP.WE AS CONSUMERS HAVE A RIGHT TO BE PROTECTED FROM SHODDY WORKMANSHIP,AND AS I SEE IT,WE ARE NOT GETTING OUR MONEYS WORTH.

THE DEALER IN SOUTH CAROLINA REPAIRED MY VEHICLE, AND COVERED THE EXPENSE OF THE REPLACEMENT PART AND LABOR UNDER THE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY. THEY ALSO HAD TO REPLACE THE FRONT BRAKE PADS AND RESURFACED THE ROTORS WHICH WERE DAMAGED TO THE SEVERE INTERNAL FAILURE OF THE WHEEL HUB ASSEMBLY. I CAN UNDERSTAND THE MALFUNCTION OF THE PART, IT HAPPENS. BUT, ON 12/17/2010 THE LEFT FRONT WHEEL ASSEMBLY SUFFERED INTERNAL FAILURE, AGAIN THE DEALER COVERED THE EXPENSE OF THE REPLACEMENT PART AND LABOR UNDER THE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY.
