general problems of the 2007 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 - part 2

This is a recurring problem- my vehicle (purchased brand new by me) while cruising on the highway will start to try and cut off while driving. The door locks will pop up and down, the dash gauges power on and off, the headlamps flash on and off, etc. . . Last week the vehicle completely shut down while doing this and I had to coast to the side of the road. This happened three times in 48 hours.

Tl- the contact owns a 2007 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated that while the vehicle was turned off, the air conditioner continued to operate. The contact vehicle was not taken to a dealer for inspection or repairs. The manufacturer was notified and stated that the vehicle was not included in any recalls. The failure mileage was 65,245. Kmj.

Driving with air condition on the driver side will start blowing out hot air, passenger side cold air. Speed does not matter. It may happen once or twice in 5 miles or it may go several hundred before it happens again. If I turn the engine off then back on it works right until the next time. I thought it was only my truck until l looked at some online stuff, a lot of people are having the same problem. It is only trucks with dual air controls. The dealers will not address it because they can't duplicate it. I don't think they believe me or they just don't understand a very simple problem. Thanks mark.

Many electrical issues involving sensors. Wheel sensors needed replace twice. Non functional cruise control. Brake lines,transmission lines and gas lines very rusty. Two brake line failures luckily both were stationary. . All lines need replaced.

Smelled something burning but couldn't find where it was coming from until recently when my a/c blower motor stopped working. Found the blower resistor connector had melted and 3 of the 7 wires the harness had burnt for approximately 6 inches. This could be a major fire hazard.

While listening to the radio, while truck was off, through auxiliary input, the truck suddenly cut off. I lost all power to power steering, power windows, lights, dash would not indicate what gear the truck was in, and of course truck would not start. Had to have truck towed to dealership, which they found the bcm had gone out. The dealership found that there was no voltage surge and no reason for the failure. A new bcm was placed in the truck at a 600$ expense to my self, and the truck is fine now. Still worried about why it happened and what caused it so I know it won't happen going down the road, or if I am in an unsafe place.

The contact owns a 2007 Chevrolet silverado. While the vehicle was parked the contact noticed the interior lights on the steering wheel were not working. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the technician stated that the fiber optic cables in the steering wheel would need to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 60,000.

Takata recall. The contact owns a 2007 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact received notification of NHTSA campaign number: 16v381000 (air bags) and stated that the part was not available within a reasonable time frame to schedule the recall repair. The dealer (windham motor CO inc, 1344 hwy 80 east, demopolis, al 36732, (334) 777-2929) did not give a specific date for when the part would become available. The manufacturer was contacted and could not provide an estimated date for when the vehicle would receive the recall repair. In addition, the dealer made no mention of NHTSA campaign number: 10v240000 (electrical system). The contact was not experiencing a failure. VIN tool confirms parts not available. Parts distribution disconnect.

This problem pertains to a 2007 chevy silverado. The blower motorshut off while I was driving. I saw smoke come out from under the dashboard by the passenger side. The connector that was attached to the resistor for the blower motor was melting due to extreme heat. The black wire was glowing bright red and was melting the plastic on the connector. After a phone call to the dealership where the truck was purchased, I found out that chevy already new about the problem and that they had seen it many times. The parts to repair it were in stock, they were purchased and replaced. The fan and a/c are now working. This has happened twice and I have to pay each time. This known problem should require gm to pay for the problem.

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.

I have a 2007 chevy silverado classic that has only 52890 miles on it and the ac went out. My fiance said she noticed an odor of electrical fire or burning when the ac stopped. My kids where in the truck and could have been hurt by smoke inhalation or worse if it would have caught fire. After inspecting the truck I found the blower relay is malfunctioning and the connector is burnt and melted. No fuses or other "safety" measures prevented this. I looked it up online and there are many cases of people going through this. There are a few websites that sell a new relay and harness that range from only $75 upto $160, but this in not a full harness and cutting and splicing needs to be done. These problems started as far back as the mid 1990's, so why in 07 and beyond has this not been corrected?.

The contact owns a 2007 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The blower resistor on the heater unit where the seven wires that are plugged into the resistor over heated and melted the plug. There was also smoke present under the dashboard which also prevented the heater from operating normally. The dealer stated that the contact would be responsible for paying $167 for parts and labor. The is requesting that the manufacturer assume 100% of the cost. The failure mileage was 59,000.

I bought my 2007 silverado on July 27,2006 I began having electrical problems no more than two weeks later it went in the shop August 08,2006 for windshield wipers malfunctioning the dealer replaced the wiper module a couple months later October 10,2006 wipers were doing the same they again replaced the module and motors ok that's fixed,then my brakes were locking up and would drag when I would stop even at speeds of 5-10 mph and also stay locked after taking off from a stop and also was pulling left then right when brakes were applied they had to change the brake pads and resurface the rotors. March 26, 2007( I had my radio burn up a cd and lights in radio burn out they had to replace the stereo and the back lights on my stereo control buttons and other buttons on steering wheel burnt out they changed those. Then my accessory outlet keeps burning out any time I plug anything in it blows a fuse, my speedometer cluster lights burnt out they had to replace that) June 28, 2007 back in the shop for a knocking noise in steering shaft they had to replace the steering shaft. May 05, 2008 steering wheel lights burnt out again they replaced the buttons again. Then August 31,2008 my family and I were leaving town due to a mandatory evacuation and I was pulling my trailer when I took the ramp to get off the interstate I had no trouble stopping at the stop sign but when I went to cross into the median at no more than 5-10 mph I had no brakes and was pushed into oncoming traffic which resulted in a crash I bought new tires in July 2008 and you can tell that they are being torn up by the brakes I just got my truck back from the shop and noticed the rear brakes are locking up again and dragging through turns even with no brakes applied at 5-10 mph does this seem like an electrical problem.

I have a new chevy silverado with 3000 miles on it. When I started it today the nav/radio screen did not come on at first. It remained black. It finally came on and I headed for work. Between 5 + 10 miles in the drive the entire electrical system shut down for a instance (everything went black). The engine stayed on but the truck stopped for that instance. I would guess since the trans is electrical was the reason the truck stopped when the electrical went out. This occurred 3-4 times so I headed straight for the dealer. The nav system also went out several times with out the entire electrical going out. It did not occur again on the way to the dealer, possibly since it was warmed up. No check engine lights ever came on. Have you seen this before or have a clue what could cause this? the dealer is saying they could not diagnose this intermittent problem. I suggested to leave it overnight and see if they can experience the problem when the truck is cold. They agreed.

Vehicle lights flicker while driving,lights do not go completely off. Very disconcerting on freeway in morning while going to work. Mowrie Chevrolet had it for a week,but problem persists.
