While driving at different speeds door locks will cycle on and off, exterior lights and dash display will go off, wipers will freeze, all gauges will go zero and two or three warning lights will come on such as stabilitrak, ABS brakes or service air bags. Lights etc will go off for 5 seconds which is dangerous. I took it to stewart chevrolet in colma on 2/3/14, they were able to duplicate problem on road tests but were unable to guarantee a fix if they replaced the body control module or applied tsb 08-07-30-0216 doc id# 2776388. How do I get this safety issue addressed?

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 chevrolet silverado 1500. The contact stated all the instrument panel lights went out while driving 35 MPH. Intermittently the light would go on and off; sometimes it would take at least two days before coming back on. The dealer was notified and advised the contact to bring the vehicle in for a diagnostic test. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and referred him to the federal safety agency in order to file a complaint. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 7,000 and the current mileage was 10,000. Updated 01/02/2013
I purchased the 2007 chevrolet trailblazer thinking I would have a good dependable car, not so. The stabil-I trac check light comes on and then when the cat is restarted it goes off. The gas gauge has dropped to empty and will no longer indicate fuel in tank, there has been a recall notice on this , however gm is only paying for 50% of the cost of repair. I had and accident ($ 2400.00) due to this gas gauge failure, no one hurt but could have been disastrous. Gm was notified and a claim filed and the results were they were not at fault. Now the lowbeam lighting system on the vehicle has gone out. I have had the fuses, sensor, and the bulbs checked and no one can find the problem. I am very frustrated with gm and the fact that the cars they produce now are substandard and they are not standing behind their products.where do I turn now? I need my vehicle.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 chevrolet silverado. While the vehicle was parked the contact noticed the interior lights on the steering wheel were not working. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the technician stated that the fiber optic cables in the steering wheel would need to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 60,000.
I bought my 2007 silverado on july 27,2006 I began having electrical problems no more than two weeks later it went in the shop august 08,2006 for windshield wipers malfunctioning the dealer replaced the wiper module a couple months later october 10,2006 wipers were doing the same they again replaced the module and motors ok that's fixed,then my brakes were locking up and would drag when I would stop even at speeds of 5-10 MPH and also stay locked after taking off from a stop and also was pulling left then right when brakes were applied they had to change the brake pads and resurface the rotors. March 26, 2007( I had my radio burn up a cd and lights in radio burn out they had to replace the stereo and the back lights on my stereo control buttons and other buttons on steering wheel burnt out they changed those. Then my accessory outlet keeps burning out any time I plug anything in it blows a fuse, my speedometer cluster lights burnt out they had to replace that) june 28, 2007 back in the shop for a knocking noise in steering shaft they had to replace the steering shaft. May 05, 2008 steering wheel lights burnt out again they replaced the buttons again. Then august 31,2008 my family and I were leaving town due to a mandatory evacuation and I was pulling my trailer when I took the ramp to get off the interstate I had no trouble stopping at the stop sign but when I went to cross into the median at no more than 5-10 MPH I had no brakes and was pushed into oncoming traffic which resulted in a crash I bought new tires in july 2008 and you can tell that they are being torn up by the brakes I just got my truck back from the shop and noticed the rear brakes are locking up again and dragging through turns even with no brakes applied at 5-10 MPH does this seem like an electrical problem.
Brake lights go out when brake pedal is release slightly, but brakes are still being applied. Example - when I push the pedal down 75% and back off to 50% the brakes lights go out until I push the pedal back down. The dealer said it was working as designed, but I have nearly been rear-ended multiple times.
2007 chevrolet silverado pickup trucks have a plastic piece holding the tail lamp in place. This is the entire light assembly unit on the rear of the truck which includes the brake lights, backup lights, running lights, parking lights, emergency flashers, turn signal, wiring harness etc., the entire rear light housing assembly. Factory workers "over" torqued this plastic part at the factory. During normal driving conditions, this part breaks and the entire tail light falls off and dangles just inches above the pavement as the electrical wires are still attached to the vehicle. This is a very dangerous situation, especially if this happens at night. This happened with the right tail light at 20,000 miles which was replaced, and again with the left tail light at 46,000 miles which chevrolet refuses to take responsibility for. This is certainly a very dangerous situation which could cause injury or death if on a busy freeway at night. Be careful, as you have no way of knowing this while you are driving. The entire tail light, when it falls out, is hanging and dangling about just inches above the pavement. Imagine this at 65 m.p.h. Another dangerous scenario would be if the tail light shatters this debris could very well hit another vehicle, motorcycle or pedestrian which could result in injury or death. Or....if the wire broke and separated from the lighting assembly unit, this could very well gain speed flying through the air and hit a person, another vehicle or business/residence window/glass. I cannot stress enough how dangerous this is. Chevrolet needs to recall every chevrolet and fix this dangerous problem. It is a well known problem with these vehicles and chevrolet will not accept responsibility.
The brake lights do no always come one when braking, or they will go off while you have the foot on the brake pedal.. Cars almost hit me, people blow their horns, because they don't think im stopping. Noticed around 7,000 mi.
Tail light shorting out due to defective wiring harness dealer replaced fuse three times but did not fix problem. Parts not available from gm-on back order.
Brake lights operate until brake pedal pressure is reduced. Replaced the brake switch. Problem not resolved.
