The contact owns a 2007 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. While driving at an undisclosed speed, there was an abnormal, pungent odor coming from the vehicle. The contact was unsure if any warning lights were illuminated. On a separate occasion, the vehicle drove roughly with an abnormal sound coming from the engine.

Just few minutes ago around 5:45 PM, Monday, September 8th 2025. I started my engine with the remote start in my drive way. After about 30 seconds there was a series of 3 or 4 violent explosions each with a 1 or two second interval. The driver side, passenger side and both side air bags deployed fracturing my windshield and causing other potential internal damage to the passenger compartment. I feel very fortunate that I wasn't seated in the vehicle at the time as I'm sure I could have been severely injured or potentially killed. I had taken the car in for an air-bag recall a couple of years ago at Good Chevrolet in Renton, WA.

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

Bottom base The base won’t stay locked. Car seat turns halfway and won’t turn anymore. No

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.

The Active Fuel Management Lifters can cause catastrophic failures by getting stuck in the closed position causing low oil pressure, misfiring, and ticking due to the entire AFM system making the camshaft and valve train wear faster. It is available for inspection upon request. My safety is put at risk due to the possibility of causing accidents or leaving me stranded in an extreme environment. Issues with AFM (Active Fuel Management) systems in certain GM vehicles have been widely reported and confirmed by both dealers and independent service centers. Specifically, AFM lifter failures and related issues, particularly in older models, are common diagnose The vehicle component has not been inspected by anyone. There was a low oil pressure warning light along with lifter tick prior to failure and first appeared at around 160k miles.

I haven’t experienced any issues yet

MY FRAME RAIL ON THE DRIVERS SIDE IS CORRODING AWAY TO THE POINT WHERE IT IS NO LONGER SAFE TO DRIVE / I HAVE BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO THE GM DEALERSHIP TO VERIFY THE CONCERN / I HAVE CONTACTED GENERAL MOTORS ABOUT THIS CONCERN AND WAS GIVEN THE RUN AROUND / I HAVE A VEHICLE THAT HAS COSTED MY TIME AND MONEY TO PURCHASE / AND MAINTAIN / THIS TRUCK RUNS GREAT AND SHOULD BE CAPABLE OF LASTING MANY MORE YEARS - EXCEPT FOR THE FACT THAT THE FRAME RAIL IS CORRODING AWAY IN THE SAME SPOT ON THIS TRUCK AS ON OTHER GM TRUCKS FROM THIS YEAR AND MODEL RANGE . I BELIEVE GM DESIGNED A FAULTY FRAME/ I BELEIVE THE FRAMES ON THESE TRUCKS WERE NEVER TREATED TO RESIST THE ELEMENTS /

Cylinder 6 misfire. The mechanics have replaced everything that could be triggering the cylinder 6 misfire and still it is having problems they said the only way to fix it is to replace the engine but I should not have to replace an engine with low miles and that has been babied. I have also looked on multiple sites with people who own the same truck and all have the same exact problem with the same cylinder. Something needs to be done about this issue especially if it’s a reoccurring one, either have a recall on it and fix it or something.

The Trucks equipped with DOD system also known as Active Fuel Management in the V6 and the V8 engines cause the truck to consume more oil and cause lack of oil to the lifters which then fail and cause the truck to lose power and smoke really bad and can cause the truck to die while driving and when you love engine power it can cause an accident it's also can cause the more internal engine problems I have reported this issue before for and nothing has happened then problem needs to be fixed is a design flaw and can cause an accident which could also get someone killed along with the bad airbag on passenger side GM needs to take responsibility and fix this issue please for the safety of anyone who drives the the vehicles with the V6 or 5.3l V8 please get this issue recalled.

The truck has the 5.3l engine which is DOD equipped and the DOD system causes lifters to fail and can ultimately destroy the engine while driving I had a lifter go bad and it causes the truck to run rough and smoke it's a major issue that happens in the 5.3l v8 engines something needs to be done cause it's causing major problems for any truck equipped with the DOD system.

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.

I received a recall notice on my truck for the airbags from a local dealer in late 2020. The dealer who sent the notice was not the dealer i purchased from originally and was over 40 miles away . When i tried to set up an appointment with the original dealer they had no record of a recall for my vin # , Nor does this site ! My truck is a 2007 that i originally leased in June of 2006 and bought out the lease when it was up. I believe what has happened is at that time my model was a body style they only made a short run of and within a few months came out with a new body style for 2007 , and that myself and others with the early 2007 model got lost in this process . My passenger side Airbag Warning Light is on and i believe a clear and present danger as i drive.

In 2021, drove off the road inadvertently at 65mph, traveled about 200 yards across a ditch and thru scrub trees and came to rest when front bumper hit against a tree. NEITHER front air bags inflated.....both front air bags should be in this recall. Both seat belts on...I sustained minor head trauma as did my passenger which could have been prevented with air bag inflation. The truck was totaled and both my passenger and I are lucky to be alive. Once again, NEITHER front air bag inflated.....both front air bags should be in this recall.

Driver air bag deployed while the vehicle was parked on the driveway and it is available for inspection. The air bag deployed while vehicle was parked, this air bag could of deployed on the highway/road at any given moment and would have been a cause of an accident. This problem was reported to Fiesta Chevrolet Edinburg Tx dealer since 5/16 , dealer has not returned the call nor inspected this issue. No warning message displayed before the driver air bag deployed.

When I took my 2007 Chevrolet Silverado with 36,000iles for inspection I was informed that two monitors were not functioning. These were the O2 sensor and the O2 sensor heater. Everything else passed. I was told that these may have been subject to a recall.

On Friday March 31 our 2007 Chevrolet Silverado was sitting in our driveway when the passenger airbags went off without warning…busting the windshield. A few minutes later the passenger door airbag went off. Nobody was driving or around the vehicle at the time so no one was injured thankfully.

The frame on driver side of the truck is completely rusted threw and cracked. extreme amounts of rust on the frame i have read thousands upon thousands of reviews related to the 07-13 Chevy Silverado. im just once small voice in many please hold them accountable for this just like toyota!!!

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.

Passenger side frontal air bag

CARRIED VEHICLE TO DEALER AND HAD AIR BAG PROBLEM REPAIRED. AIR BAG LIGHT IS BACK ON WHAT DO I DO NOW??

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
