I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE ABS SYSTEM ON MY 2007 CHEVROLET SILVERADO CLASSIC, SINCE ABOUT THREE MONTHS AFTER I PURCHASED IT. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE NEW. THE FIRST OCCURRENCE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT, BUT NO INJURIES. I REPORTED THE PROBLEM TO THE DEALER, THEY CHECKED THE "COMPUTER" AND SAID "THE COMPUTER DOES NOT HAVE ANY CODES, SO NOTHING CAN BE WRONG." THE BRAKES HAVE LOCKED-UP, NUMEROUS TIMES SINCE THE FIRST ACCIDENT. THIS HAS HAPPENED ABOUT 25-30 TIMES IN THE LAST 3 YEARS. IT IS AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM, NEVER OCCURRING IN THE SAME CONDI…
THE ABS COMES ON AT SPEEDS OF 7MPH AND 3 MPH ON MY 2007 CHEVY SILVERADO. I LIVE IN PENNSYLVANIA WHICH IS CONSIDERED THE SNOW BELT IN THE NORTH EAST, I HAD A 2000 SILVERADO AND THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE ABS BRAKE SYSTEM AND GM SAYS THERE IS NO RECALL ON MY TRUCKS ABS AND THE PROBLEM IS THE SAME AS THE 2000 WHICH WAS A RECALL IN 2005. *LN
AT SLOW SPEED THE POWER STEERING FAILS. THIS FAILURE IS SPORADIC, BUT DOES HAPPEN OFTEN. THE STEERING WHEEL BECOMES AS HARD TO TURN AS WHEN THE ENGINE IS OFF WITH NO POWER BOOST AT ALL. THIS IS DANGEROUS AS THE ONLY OPTION IS TO STOP ABRUPTLY. CHEVROLET RECENTLY ISSUED A RECALL FOR REPAIR ON SOME CAR MODELS FOR THE SAME COMPLAINT, HOWEVER MY TRUCK WAS NOT INCLUDED. *TR
INTERMEDIATE STEERING COLUMN, CLUNKING NOISE RADIATING UP THROUGH THE STEERING COLUMN, VERY PRONOUNCED WHEN TURNING THE VEHICLE, NOISE HAS BECOME WORSE AND OWNER IS ANNOYED AND CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THE VEHICLE. CONTACTING THE DEALER, THEY WANT TO CHARGE FOR THE DIAGNOSIS OF THE PROBLEM. DEALER HAS ALSO STATED THAT THE INTERMEDIATE STEERING SHAFT IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THE PROBLEM WAS PRESENT WHEN I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE. I THOUGHT IT WAS THE SHOCK ABSORBERS ON THE FRONT AND HAD NO DESIRE TO HAVE THE SAME 'CHEAP' SHOCKS REPLACED. U…

2006 CHEVY SILVERADO 1/2 TON 4X4 PROBLEM WITH HEATER FAN MOTOR. I HAVE HAD THE HEATER FAN STOP AND START THE LAST 2 YEARS, SOMETIMES COME ON SOMETIMES NOT. IT DOES NOT WORK AT ALL AT THIS TIME.

YESTERDAY ON 4/10/2014 AT 2:00PM I GET INTO MY 2007 CHEVY SILVERADO 1500 CLASSIC CREW CAB AND START MY TRUCK. I NOTICE THAT ONCE I LET GO OF THE GET IT NEVER RETURNED TO THE ON POSITION FROM RUN/START POSITION. THE TRUCK IS RUNNING AND UNABLE TO TURN OFF.

2006 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 WITH 5.3L V8 MAKES TICKING NOISE WHEN COLD. EXHAUST SMELL IN PASSENGER CABIN. NOISE DECREASES AS ENGINE HITS NORMAL OPERATING TEMPERATURE. AFTER A SERVICE CALL TO REPAIR. THE MECHANIC STATED THAT THE FORWARD MOST AND REAR MOST EXHAUST MANIFOLD BOLTS WERE BROKEN OFF INSIDE THE ENGINE BLOCK ON THE DRIVER SIDE OF THE ENGINE, THIS ALLOWS EXHAUST GAS TO ESCAPE WHEN COLD AND ACCOUNTS FOR EXHAUST SMELL IN THE CABIN. PER THE MECHANIC THIS IS VERY COMMON AND SHOULD BE A RECALL ITEM. *TR
2007 CHEVROLET SILVERADO CLASSIC 1500; REDUCED ENGINE POWER COMES ON AND ENGINE SLOWS WAY DOWN NO MATTER WHERE YOU ARE. ALMOST WAS IN BIG WRECK ON INTERSTATE.
