This 2007 Chevrolet Silverado has only 73,730 miles . The vehicle in question has an oil consumption issue and is available for inspection upon request. An oil consumption issue will lead to low oil and low oil pressure which can lead to a fire. Problem has been confirmed by an independent service center. Vehicle has been inspected by a certified automotive technician. Vehicle loses oil close to 100 miles and the add engine oil display on the Driver Information Center. Every trip that is close to 100 miles will cause oil consumption and the Add Engine Oil Will display. Vehicle was taken to a repair shop and i was informed that some Chevrolet Silverado Trucks engines will consume oil due to excessive amount of oil going to the pistons. The pistons result with damage to the piston rings and will need to be replaced. In the long run the engine will lose power start to smoke lose oil pressure and low compression which could lead to a fire .No recall was ever posted concerning this issue. I thought the consumption was due to viscosity breakdown until i noticed it got worse. I did some research and asked several silverado owners and they all had the same issue. I confirmed the issue when i took the vehicle to the technician.This vehicle only has 73,730 miles and i am the first owner.

Motor and oil problem
I have had an issue with my 2007 chevy silverado jerking with a hard thump while accelerating. At first it was diagnoses as a faulty throttle body. Replaced the throttle body. Now it intermittently pulls hard when accelerating at any speed. This cannot be safe. Dealerships cannot figure out the issue and I am having trouble googling any specific reason. Many people have this same issue with little to resolution. This is intermittently so it the stabilitrac and traction control lights come on and off within minutes. It was happening a few times a weeks and now it is happening a few times a day. This cannot be good for the safety of the vehicle on the road or the people in it.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 chevrolet silverado 1500. The contact stated that while the vehicle was idling in park, the vehicle loss motive power with the check engine warning light illuminated. Additionally, the dashboard was severely cracked. The vehicle was turned off, restarted and operated as intended. The vehicle was not taken to be diagnosed nor repaired. The failure recurred. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 165,000.
When I try starting the truck it makes a clicking sound like it wants to turn over and then won't. Sometimes it never happens and other times it may take three or four times of trying to get it to start before it will. The service engine light came on and continued to stay on. Took it to a chevy dealer and was placed on the diagnostic computer and I was told codes found were po174 and po171. Smoke test was performed on evap system and induction system. Found leaks at the pcv hose, purge valve hoses and purge valve is stuck open. These were removed and replaced both purge valve hoses, purge valve and pcv hose. $523.80 later the problem is still not fixed.
New engine placed in vehicle because loss of power. Since then vehicle looses all power in the midst of driving. Alarm also goes off without notice. New battery, then new alternator, and now new engine battery cables. Was told no power to engine then too much power. About $1,500.00 out of pocket to get fixed. Truck continues to shut off and loose all power when driving in the city.
Takata recall. Air bag light came on. Cluster reads service airbag system
Engine burns through oil and always needs additional oil between oil changes. There is no signs of an oil leak nor is there any smoke. Also the frame of the truck is comepletely rusted.
I had to re do my transmission twice already. My chevy is at 165k miles... Also my front left parking lights seems to go out every ones in a while..
C1500 at times when stopping will shut down, all lights on the dash board will light up and whole truck will shake. Took to chevy dealer ship they said needed new motor.. Already put top end of motor in 1 1/2 years ago - same thing is happening now but they say needs new motor. Let truck set for several days, crank it and it seems to be ok. But don't know when it will do it again. If needed a new motor it would not crank and drive. Chev. Dealership was going to charge $6,000 for new motor and labor. And obviously that is not what is wrong with it. 08132018

Hey. I have a code p0011 on my truck and it shifts hard into second gear if I drive it for like 2 or 3 miles the light will go out and everything works fine and I've change the camshaft position sensor. Just wondering if you might have an answer? And when the light is on and says service traction control and stabilitrak
The truck is in excellent condition and has been well-maintained. At 127,000 the engine started making a noise diagnosed as lifter noise. Within a hundred miles or so, while driving on a highway, it started to make a very loud noise, and again diagnosed as lifters on at least 2 cylinders needing replaced. Upon the advice of a 25+ year gm mechanic I will be replacing the motor as this is most cost effective as well as buying a program chip to bypass the "active fuel management" which has caused the problem. This was also recommended as gm has not altered anything engineering wise to prevent this from happening on a brand new motor that would be purchased from them.
My issue is with the oil pressure in my 2007 chevy silverado 1500 4x4. The low oil pressure light comes on and I can hear the lifters tapping. I got online and there are thousands of complaints on this same issue. It appears to be a problem with either a defective oil pump or a screen in the oil pressure sensor clogging. This issue needs to be recalled because it effects literally thousands of people.

Was driving my 2007 chevy silverado 1500 about 40 MPH when the door locks started locking and unlocking, all warning lights were flashing, speedometer would read then drop out the read again. Engine temporarily was shutting off then coming back on. Tried to accelerate to get it off the road and felt like transmission was affected but may have been because the was the engine was shutting off and on. Got home shut key off and lost all electrical power and could not restart. I was a gm tech so went into garage for a battery tester hooked it up and battery load tested good shut hood went to go back inside truck and power came back on and started right up. Has happened twice since then. Asked other gm techs still working at dealers and said they've never heard of problems like this happening.
The manifold bolts have broken off into the head of the engine. Resulting in failure of seal to head from the exhaust manifold. In turn, has caused the catalytic converter to fail and now the vehicle requires extensive work to pass emissions testing in california. It only takes one bolt to break on the exhaust manifold to cause this issue. The bolts are obviously the weak link. The engineering design needs to be modified immediately. It is not listed as a maintenance item in any gm owners manual. Why should the consumer be responsible for an item that causes catastrophic failure to the emission system, which is a mandated and governed by the federal government and fee'd accordingly via state and county guidelines.
Bought this truck used had 54000 miles on it. Still had warranty left on it. At 71000 miles started using 1 to 2 qts of oil between changes. The dealer has done all changes on this truck every 3000 to 4000 miles. Asked them why it started using oil and they said they checked and could not find any leaks and didn't know why it was using oil. Have had to add 1 or 2 qts between changes every since the truck now has 107000 miles on it. Their are hundreds of reports of this problem on the internet. Need help in getting this repaired.
Various intermittent driveability conditions - hesitation, lack of power, etc. Current mileage 73,000.
