Dashboard light flickering. Abs,tire pressure, and air bag lights come on and off. Radio comes on and off. Did this for 40 miles constantly. Outside light working fine. Signal light would not work inside, but were working outside. Gauges (fuel, speedometer, throttle, etc) would stop working or would stick on whatever reading they were on when the flicker happens.

Service airbag light came on, looked in owners manual and it advised to get it serviced. I called the local chevy dealer who advised me just to drive it, "that's common" I was told. Far cry from the hazards the book explains. Is there a recall on the 2007? Not impressed!

I offer same complaint as filed under the federal safety agency id# 10485141.a service air bag warning light came on in my 2007 chevrolet silverado truck. I went to the dealer who sold it to me to have it serviced & was told the right front impact sensor was corroded & had to be replaced. This was a safety issue, and stated to dealer that gm should cover the cost of repair. The dealer said no & that there was no recall on record.I agree completely with the comments provided under above-referenced compliant: "I called gm & was told that this was an environmental issue & the salt air in my area caused the corrosion and gm was not responsible. I told the person that I was talking to that apparently gm must be aware of the problem if they know that the salt air corrodes the sensors. I mentioned the fact that since there is a problem that the air bag could possible inflate while driving & cause the driver to swerve off the road or into another vehicle thus causing death or serious injury. I was then given a file number (71-1127296694) and told the matter would be investigated. I later received a phone call from gm,said looked into complaint & since it was an environmental issue gm was not responsible for repairs. I then stated to him that I was aware that chrysler recently had a recall of vehicles to be repaired because the airbag sensors were corroding. I was told that gm. Had no such recall. My argument is that this is a safety issue. The corroded sensors could malfunction and cause the air bags to deploy thus causing the driver to swerve and potentially get into a serious accident. Chrysler corp. Must have realized this because they had a recall." this is a potentially serious situation. Please investigate. Jhb
