Odometer Fraud. The contact purchased a 2007 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated that while attempting to trade the vehicle, it was discovered that there was a mileage discrepancy. The vehicle was a private sale. At the time of purchase, the vehicle mileage was 91,000 and at the time of registration, it was discovered that the mileage was 250,000.

Mileage: 250,000

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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,

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

MULTIPLE OCCURRENCES. CLOCK RESETS ITSELF. TURNED KEY TO START, NO DASH LIGHTS, NO NOTHING..I RETRIED AFTER A COUPLE OF MINUTES, IT STARTED. FUEL PUMP STOPPED WORKING, NO POWER TO IT I WAS TOLD. FUEL PUMP WAS NEW 2/10/13. THEY REPLACED THE FUEL CONTROL MODULE 4/18/2013. CONNECTIONS WERE CLEANED AND RESET. THIS ALL WORKED FINE UNTIL 3/12/2014. SAME SITUATIONS STARTED AGAIN. BUT AS BEFORE IT WOULD ALWAYS EVENTUALLY START. SAME DIAGNOSIS, FUEL CONTROL MODULE AND A SOME OTHER EXPENSIVE STUFF. 3 WEEKS AGO IT DIDN'T START, WOULD GRIND WITH NO FIRE. FUEL PUMP ISN'T GETTING POWER. I'M DEAD IN THE WATER. ONE OF MY SONS WORKS AS A CARPENTER, WELDER AND SHIPPING SPECIALIST FOR A CLASSIFIED GOVERNMENT FACILITY. THIS FACILITY HAS TOP NOTCH MECHANICS TO DO ALL THEIR MAINTENANCE INCLUDING AUTOS, GOING OUTSIDE OF THE FACILITY IS NOT AN OPTION. THESE MECHANICS HAVE 7 CHEVY 1500S OF VARIOUS YEARS THEY HAVE TO KEEP RUNNING. THEY'VE OFFERED THAT ALL OF THEIR TRUCKS HAD THE SAME ISSUES AS MINE AT ONE TIME. FOR THE FIRST 2 THEY DID THE MODULE REPLACEMENT STUFF JUST LIKE I DID. JUST LIKE MINE THOSE FIXES WENT SOUTH AGAIN. WHAT THEY DID THEN WAS TO CHANGE OUT THE ENTIRE IGNITION MODULE WITH AN IMPROVED VERSION. THEY'VE DONE IT FOR ALL 7 VEHICLES AS THE ISSUES OCCURRED, ALL ARE NOW WORKING WELL, SOME FOR YEARS. I'M TRYING THAT NEXT. THERE MAY BE SOME SECURITY ITEMS TO FIX. IT SEEMS TO SIMPLE TO ME, BUT AS I LOOK AT ALL OF THE INTERFACES OF THE VEHICLE WITH THE IGNITION MODULE, I'M GIVING IT A SHOT.

I HAVE IT IN STORAGE FOR ANY ONE INSPECTION. MY BROTHER WAS NOT EJECTED FROM THE VEHICLE, I DO BELIEVE, SHOULD THE BAGS HAD DEPLOYED, MY BROTHER WOULD BE ALIVE TODAY. ALSO, FURTHER HIS STEERING FROM ONE SIDE TO THE OTHER INDICATED HE HAD NO POWER STEERING AND FINALLY, THE SKID MARKS ON THE GRAVEL EDGE AND NOT ON THE PAVEMENT, GIVE AN INDICATION, THERE WERE NO POWER ASSISTED BREAKING ALL ADD UP TO THE FACT THE VEHICLE LOST ITS ELECTRIC POWER BY THE KEY SWITCH ACCIDENTLY SHUTTING THE ENGINE OFF. *JS

THE A/C FAN QUIT. IT SMELLED LIKE BURNING PLASTIC. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO EXIT THE FREEWAY SAFELY AND I HAVE ENOUGH ELECTRICAL KNOWLEDGE I WAS ABLE TO DETERMINE A WAY TO CONTINUE SAFELY. IT WAS A FIRE HAZARD WAITING TO HAPPEN INSIDE THE CAB. THE RESISTOR WAS EXTREMELY HOT AND THE WIRING HARNESS WAS MELTED. THERE WERE NO BLOWN FUSES. I PULLED FUSES TO REDUCE THE CHANCE OF FIRE.

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.

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.

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. *TR

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.
