2007 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 suspension problems

Filed Dec 17, 2024 · Suspension, Transmission · MN

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 /

Frame beaming on the 2007 x tra cab classic truck. General motors campaign #pit3009j. The problem is so bad that it shakes the seat so violently that it is a health hazard to drive around. I have been driving my truck for two years now as my daily driver. The frame shakes so bad on the freeway that it has caused me back strains and neck pain when driving for over an hour. I have been to americas tire many times thinking it was a tire problem they have rebalanced the tires and even replaced the whole set with another brand with no improvement. After my recent mri from back pain I believe that driving this truck is fully to blame for my pain. Two years before I had a clean ct scan with just a slight disc bulge, now all my discs are smashed known as schmor'ls depressions caused from the repeated up and down beating on my spine from driving this silverado for the last two years up and down the california freeways. There are times it shakes so bad I feel I am going to loose control of the truck. I want general motors to know how serious of a problem this is, more than a shake it is beating people like me to death and is a serious health risk. I feel I have no choice but to contact an attorney for help.

Selected adaptive equipment and suspension and body because there is no place to add tailgate and that is where he problem is - geez - that part makes no senese at all. *tr tailgate lock on riders side of vehicle does not engage properly. It has been replaced once and greased once at butch ostelete in pascagoula, ms. I called about repair but the person on the phone said they would have to charge me to repair it. The problem is you have to stick your finger in the lock pin and slide it upward to make it engage when the tailgate is closed. This has been on going since I have on the vehicle. It is a defect that could cause someone (like me) to injure their finger in the lock or jolt a persons wrist and elbows (like me) and cause harm. This defect needs to be called to gm attention and have these issues repaired.
