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 /

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.

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.

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.

While driving and coming to a stop, a loud clunk noise comes from the rear end. Within 2-4- seconds after stopping, it feels like someone hits my truck from the rear end. You can actually feel the truck move forward, but very slightly. I bought this truck new in 2007, and took it back to two different dealers within the first year of ownership. But was told nothing was wrong, and now it does it everytime I drive it. I am afraid the rear end will lock up and caused me to lose control.
