general problems of the 2007 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 - part 1

No crank no start however engine just shit down while driving immediately lost all control of vehicle! luckily I had just pulled off highway! no warning whatsoever it just happened out of no where now won’t start and has a u0100 code.

The keyless entry receiver(gm) radio module in my 2007 chevy silverado is retaining moisture. It caused my tire pressure monitoring system to fail eventually causing a blow out on the highway. I believe moisture from the third headlight above rear window is allowing moisture to drip into the keyless entry receiver. There are many accounts of this failing, I’m not sure why this has not been recalled. I nearly died.

There is a short in the wiring (and has been for a long time) for the heater and the radio.

My vehicle will just start up sometimes on its own with or without key in ignition, as well as set alarm off. Also, it constantly feels like the brakes are on at all times. It feels like it drags alot. And it feels like it doesn't properly have enough power when accelerating.

My father purchased this truck brand new and inherited it from my father when he passed away. The truck has just under 100,000 miles on it and the service trailer brake system light came on in the dash. I have tried to reset it and it still comes right back. The truck hasn't ever been used commercially only as personal use. It is the only vehicle that I own and I don't know what to do I am disabled and I need help.

I bought a 2007 silverado truck from a dealer with out the warranty,but were told later that if you do not buy the warranty we do not fix anything wrong with the truck. It had saftey issues like the license plate lights were not working,bad tire stem,wippers control not working all the time,and a bad real seal leak putting oil on the roads. When I told them about this they made no efferted to fix these saftey issuse,.

Power surges sometime everything shuts off while driving leaving no brakes, steering, or acceleration. Other times there is a no start due to no power or the instrument cluster goes haywire. Reacquiring problem with no answers why. Others have had the same problem. Scary driving fine at 60 with kids in the back and all of a sudden you lose control of your truck unexpectedly for the first time. No warnings or obd2 codes.

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.

Problems with a throttle control correlation between throttle pedal and throttlebody I have been to several places and the issue is not resolved. I have replaced everything on the throttle control system and I can’t get an answer from anybody what’s going on.

After buying this used truck from gm certified dealership having advanced inspection before we took home 3 months in first start of the day about 7am, 5-10min into driving, no mil light, truck engine shut off hard to pull over and I tried to restart but wouldn't start. After waiting an hour for a tow truck I tried once more and it fired up. Cancelled tow drove home fine. But it did it a few more random times while driving until oct. Now it sits. Its scary when theres no mil indicating a problem, but this is a problem and safety during travel. It wont start after 7 month ownership ,mil light is now on saying u0100. Bought 4/2021.

I have had an issue with my 2007 chevy silverado jerking with a hard thump while accelerating. At first it was diagnoses as a faulty throttle body. Replaced the throttle body. Now it intermittently pulls hard when accelerating at any speed. This cannot be safe. Dealerships cannot figure out the issue and I am having trouble googling any specific reason. Many people have this same issue with little to resolution. This is intermittently so it the stabilitrac and traction control lights come on and off within minutes. It was happening a few times a weeks and now it is happening a few times a day. This cannot be good for the safety of the vehicle on the road or the people in it.

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.

Driver side door locks and cant get it open . Have to enter by going thru the other side. Then some times going down the road it will unlock and decide to open. Some times if I am driving it and were I am going get there I cant get out. Then I have to exit thru the other door. I have tryed everthing .

Driving down the road on April 20 2019 nothing out of the ordinary going on, I pull into my driveway put my truck into park and I go to to roll my windows up, power windows, and the passenger side window won't go up and my passenger rear window won't go up or down but I can hear the switch clicking but can't hear the switch in the front passenger, then I test the passenger side seat, power also, it doesn't work, the red arrow turn signal on passenger side mirror isn't lighting up either and when I open the passenger door my interior light doesn't come on but open driver side door interior light comes on and the driver side seat doesn't work either, power, go to check my fuses all but one is ok, located under hood on driver side, fuse block 71 is blown, j case low profile 60 amp fuse, I buy another 60a j case low profile fuse go to install it and as soon as the terminals touch, blown fuse. I even disconnected battery then installed another fuse, same one, reconnected battery, fuse blows. Please tell me what can be the problem and how to fix it, thank you.

When trying to turn the key on to start the engine , the key will not turn unless wiggled quite a bit or rotated repeatedly in a circle before getting un-stuck and turning letting me start the truck.

1. My takata inflator needs to be replaced on my 2007 Chevrolet silverado and, is a recall item, and general motors is using delaying tactics rather than replacing the defective part(s). This is unacceptable. Now my airbag light is on and after looking at the recall list and description it says: safety risk: the propellant in some types of takata airbag inflators can degrade over time, especially after long term exposure in hot and humid regions. If the propellant degrades to a certain level, the inflators may rupture during deployment, causing serious or fatal injuries. Remedy: the necessity of a remedy is dependent upon NHTSA's decision on gm's petition for inconsequentiality. Additional information will be available following that decision. In the meantime, you can also check the status of this recall at my. Gm. Com/recalls. Gm considers your vehicle safe to drive. Recall status: recall incomplete. Remedy not yet available . . . . 2. I've had a recurring electrical problem that is not diagnosable as it is a total electrical failure that is not able to be determined by on star and without power, no diagnosis can be made. The computer doesn't keep a record of why the failure occurs, and we have had multiple cables and batteries replaced in an attempt to resolve the unknown issue. This vehicle was produced in canada.

Engine temporarily was shutting off then coming back on. Tried to accelerate to get it off the road and felt like transmission was affected but may have been because the was the engine was shutting off and on. Got home shut key off and lost all electrical power and could not restart. I was a gm tech so went into garage for a battery tester hooked it up and battery load tested good shut hood went to go back inside truck and power came back on and started right up. Has happened twice since then. Asked other gm techs still working at dealers and said they've never heard of problems like this happening.

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 stabilatrak, 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?.
