2007 GMC Sierra 1500 electrical complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 22 of 22, newest first, as owners wrote them.
One of the electrically powered, folding external mirror assemblies became inoperable on my 2007 gmc sierra 1500 pickup truck which LED to the entire mirror assembly becoming loose. The result was that the mirror assembly will slightly move back and forth while driving, causing the driver to erroneously sense movement of his vehicle or erroneous movement of an adjacent vehicle. This false sensing of vehicle movement is very distracting, causing a driver to lose focus on the road and to lose focus on the operation of his vehicle. The condition is distracting enough that it may, in some drivers, induce vertigo which could lead to catastrophic results. *tr ## VIN failed ##

The contact received notification of the federal safety agency campaign id number: 10v240000 (electrical system) pertaining to the system. The manufacturer advised that the module would need to be removed to prevent a possible fire from occurring in the vehicle. The contact stated he did not want the module removed from his vehicle because it was one of the determining factors in purchasing the vehicle due to the climate in his area.

I have a 2007 sierra,which has been giving me problems since it was pur chased. It has stop in the middle of the traffic when I was driving. It has done this 4 times since I purchased the vehicle. I have taking the vehicle to the dealer, but, they never find anything wrong. On saturday the car stop , in the middle of traffic, and this time it did not move at all. The truck would not move, and I was trying to make a right, but I was stuck. I was worried that someone could crush from the back, because they could not pass, there was a man that came and push my truck to get out of the street .and now I am concerned for the safety of my daughter and me. This vehicle has giving me many problems, but the dealer never seems to find anything wrong with the vehicle. I had some items installed by them. One was a dvd player, it cost 2,300. And they said that it was my fault so they did not fix it. And that was 3 moths after the installation of the dvd by them. And the battery die on the truck 4 months after it was purchased. That was the only thing they change. I hope that I can be helped, I feel very insecure in this vehicle. I'm happy that I did not get into a major accident because of all these problems. Thank you .

Tl*the contact owns a 2007 gmc sierra 1500. While driving 80 MPH in the rain, the circuit breaker box fell off the vehicle and landed behind the brake pedal. The contact had to stop the vehicle with the emergency brake. He feels that this is a safety issue because components of the dashboard should be more securely attached to the vehicle. He also feels that a serious crash could have occurred with the circuit box top falling behind the brake and firewall. The current and failure mileages were 1,700. Updated 09/10/08. *lj updated 09/12/08.
Electrical - instrument panel. The instrument panel is impossible to read at most times during daylight. Gmc does light up the odometer/dic and gear indicator but speedometer, RPM, fuel, oil, oil, water all are not readable at most times.
Tl*the contact owns a 2007 gmc sierra 1500. The contact stated that the instrument panel gauges were not visible during the daytime. The only way any of the gauges can barely be seen is by activating the headlights or using a flashlight. When he took the vehicle to the dealer, they gave him the run around. The contact was advised by a gmc customer service representative to call the better business bureau. The current mileage was 15,069 and failure mileage was 1,200.
I cannot see the instruments on my 2007 gm sierra on a sunny day. Not even the speedometer. Turning on the lights does little to help. Gm knows about the problem, but does not seem to be in a hurry to fix the problem. Gm document id# 1879131 dated 12/19/06.
I purchased a brand new 2007 gmc sierra 1500 pickup from lone star pontiac buick gmc in mckinney, texas on 11/18/06. Only after being pulled over for speeding did I realize the speedometer was not calibrated correctly after the dealership had installed an after-market lift kit and large tires and wheels on this truck. I discovered by calling another gm dealer that because the speedometer is not calibrated correctly it causes the anti-lock brake system to not function properly. The dealership willfully and without regard to the safety of its customers sold vehicles like mine that had brake systems that did not work properly. The general manager confirmed that they have sold many trucks like this so it is reasonable to assume there are many trucks on the road now which may have faulty anti-lock braking systems. I am concerned for everyone else that purchased one of these trucks and aren't aware their brakes don't work right. The general manager told me that the speedometers can not be calibrated correctly.
