“While I had my truck in for service it was pointed out to me the rust that was on the frame and on the fuel line. Thought I should file in case of any other complaints have been noted on this year vehicle. 2007 Chevrolet Silverado.”
NHTSA complaint #10405804, filed 2011-06, 28,300 miles“I have been having a problem with exterior door handles breaking off. This has happened to me 3 times on my 2007 chevy Silverado pick up truck. If you need to pull a little hard on the door handle to open the door because it has snow or ice on it (or it is just locked), it breaks off. The handles are made of plastic. My safety concern is this: if I am in an accident and unable to open the door myself, a rescue person may grab the handle a little too hard and it breaks off, thus they will be unable to get me out of the car quickly. …”
NHTSA complaint #10592984, filed 2014-05, 30,000 miles“The dashboard on my 2007 (new body style) chevy Silverado ls, 4.3l has cracked, randomly, right above the passenger air bag. There was nothing to cause this crack, it just appeared. After doing some research, many other GM owners, ranging from silverados to tahoes to escaldes, also have cracks in their dash, in the same spot, some worse than others. My main concern is it cracking more, and also if the passenger airbag were to deploy, the possibility of the dash breaking apart and possibly throwing shards of plastic at me or passenger. …”
NHTSA complaint #10546400, filed 2013-10, 35,000 miles“I noticed when I got into my vehicle that there was a crack on the passenger side dash, right above the airbag. This can't be safe! If the airbag were to deploy, then what is to stop the rest of the dash to explode apart like shrapnel causing injury to some in the vehicle. I am afraid for my passengers safety! About a week later found another crack on the driver's side of the dash. I have done some research and there are hundreds of others who have experienced the same problems! Also, their pictures posted on social media show the cracks are in the same locations as that of my dash. …”
NHTSA complaint #10627637, filed 2014-08, 34,000 miles“I took my new chevy truck into the dealer for some new factory equipment (bug deflector and bed liner) to be installed by them. While the dealer had my 2007 chevy truck they loaded 2008 power train software into it's computer without my permission. The 2008 software changed the way my truck runs. The power train now has a speed limiter on it and the stability control was changed. It will not go as fast it as use to go before the change. I was told by the dealer and GM they would not put my truck back the way it was as when I bought it. …”
