general problems of the 2007 Chevrolet Silverado 1500

Drivers seat is broken and now lays straight back it started 2 years ago and is worse now it will not stay up.

Every 2500 mile after a oil change I get a low oil engine light and have to add a quart in a half of oil to top it off again. After doing gm's oil consumption test three times gm tells me that the dealer that I was bring my truck to for the oil consumption test stated that I was drive my truck to hard are I was pulling something.

I own 2007 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 crew cab work truck (new body style) which I purchased new in sept. 2007. On approximately November 2, 2009 while entering my vehicle, the plastic lumbar support broke as I was sitting down in the driver seat. Thus forcing my body weight to push the foam and plastic cover out of the back portion of the seat frame. I then removed the remaining attached seat back to locate the problem. I found that there are four thin, pivoting plastic arms that flex when the manual knob is turned for adjustment. These arms are holding the plastic lumbar support in place along with four thin aluminum rods. In the event of a rear end impact, this defect could cause serious spinal and/or neck injury. Please note, that I am a state law enforcement officer and that I feel this situation be thoroughly investigated. This incident was reported to the dealer and no further action nor interest was demonstrated by the dealer or gm. Replacement part was quoted at approximately $120. 00 + labor. Thank you.
