2007 Chevrolet Silverado Powertrain & Transmission Problems

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.

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.

Won’t shift into 3rd gear

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE SPEEDOMETER FAILED TO SHOW THE CURRENT SPEED OF THE VEHICLE, THE OIL PRESSURE WAS NOT REGISTERING IN THE VEHICLE, AND THE HORN FAILED TO SOUND. THE FAILURES RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR DIAGNOSED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN. ....UPDATED 03-31-16 *BF THE CONSUMER STATED SEATBELTS LOCK UP AND REAR LATCH COVER IS BROKEN, TRANSMISSION SHIFTING HARD AT TIMES, EXTERIOR LIGHTING EXPIRING, WINDOWS GOING OFF TRACK, AND TIRES LOSING AIR PRESSURE, HAS TO BE INFLATED AT VARIOUS TIMES. *TR *CN

WHILE MERGING ONTO THE EXPRESS WAY I HAD A MAJOR LOSS OF POWER AND A SLIGHT SHAKE IN MY SILVERADO. MULTIPLE ENGINE LIGHTS CAME ON (STABILITY TRACK, TRACTION CONTROL, AND BLINKING ENGINE LIGHT). ON MY WAY TO THE NEAREST GM DEALER, AT EVERY STOP LIGHT THE TRUCK LACKED POWER TO GET GOING WHEN THE PEDDLE WAS PUSHED, THEN IT WOULD KICK IN AND SCREECH THE TIRES. AFTER LEAVING THE TRUCK AT THE DEALER, I RECEIVE PHONE CALL FROM THE DEALER THE FOLLOWING DAY STATING THAT THE LIFTER (AFM LIFTER) HAD MALFUNCTIONED AND WAS STUCK. I ASKED WHAT CAUSES THIS (BECAUSE MY TRUCK ONLY HAS ABOUT 39,700 MILES ON IT), AND THE DEALER STATED IT WAS "AN ISSUE WITH THE DESIGN OF THE ENGINE." I THEN RESEARCHED THE INTERNET (GM FORUMS, SOCIAL MEDIA, NHTSA) TO FIND OUT THAT THIS IS A HUGE ISSUE. MANY OWNERS HAD THE BAD LIFTER REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY, ONLY TO HAVE A DIFFERENT LIFTER GO BAD. I DECIDED TO HAVE THE DEALER REPLACE ALL MY LIFTERS, BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT THEY RECOMMENDED AND THEY ADMITTED THERE IS A GOOD CHANCE I WOULD BE BACK IN FOR THE SAME ISSUE ON THE OTHER LIFTERS IF I DIDN'T REPLACE THEM. THE DEALER CONTACTED GM TO SEE IF ANY OF MY REPAIR COULD BE COVERED UNDER THE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY BECAUSE I ONLY HAVE 39,700 MILES ON IT, BUT MY TRUCK WAS 8 YEARS OLD SO THEY SAID THEY WOULDN'T. I CONTACT GM TO SEE IF I COULD DIRECTLY GET ANYTHING COVERED SEEING I ONLY HAD 39,700 MILES, PLUS BOUGHT AN EXTENDED WARRANTY THAT JUST EXPIRED LAST YEAR. I WAS TRANSFERRED THROUGH 5 DIFFERENT REPRESENTATIVES THAT ALL ADMITTED THAT THE LIFTER FAILURE IS "AN ISSUE, BUT NOT A RECALL." IF THEY KNOW ITS AN ISSUE, THE DEALERS KNOW ITS AN ISSUE, ITS A EXTREMELY COMMON ISSUE ALL ACROSS THE INTERNET, WHY WONT GM TAKE CARE OF IT? MY SILVERADO COST OVER $45,000 WHEN NEW, YOU THINK IT SHOULD LAST WELL OVER 100,000 MILES WITH NO ENGINE PROBLEMS. *TR

LAST FALL 10/14 REPLACED ALL BRAKE LINES DUE TO CORROSION (97000 MILES). WHICH HAS BEEN MENTIONED NUMEROUS TIMES ALREADY. AFTER THAT ABS LIGHT CAME ON INTERMITTENTLY LOST BRAKES LAST WEEK TO IT TO THE SHOP THEY HAD IT FOR THE DAY EVERYTHING WORKED FINE. CONTINUED DRIVING LIGHT STARTED COMING BACK ON & BRAKES WERE ERRATIC. YESTERDAY WAS PULLING OUT OF PARKING LOT HAD NO BRAKES. IF THESE ARE KNOWN PROBLEMS WHY ISN'T ANYONE TAKING CARE OF IT. WHY YOU WOULD PUT UNTREATED BRAKE LINES ON A VEHICLE IN THE SALT DISTRICTS IS BEYOND ME. I HAD AN 1989 OLDSMOBILE WITH THE ORIGINAL LINE ON IT TIL 198,000 MILES. I ALSO REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION AT 77,000 MILES DUE TO CORROSION OF THE LINES.($2700)

MY ISSUE IS WITH THE OIL PRESSURE IN MY 2007 CHEVY SILVERADO 1500 4X4. THE LOW OIL PRESSURE LIGHT COMES ON AND I CAN HEAR THE LIFTERS TAPPING. I GOT ONLINE AND THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS ON THIS SAME ISSUE. IT APPEARS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH EITHER A DEFECTIVE OIL PUMP OR A SCREEN IN THE OIL PRESSURE SENSOR CLOGGING. THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE RECALLED BECAUSE IT EFFECTS LITERALLY THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE.

DRIVING DOWN ROAD WHEN REDUCE ENGINE POWER COMES ON AND SHUTS DOWN THE POWER AND I CAN NOT DRIVE OVER 15MPH ON A BUSY HIGHWAY..... *TR

THE TRANSMISSION COOLER LINES RUSTED THROUGH NEAR THE EXTERNAL COOLER BEHIND THE FRONT GRILL AREA, LEAKING THE FLUID CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO LOOSE SPEED AND STOP ON THE ROAD. NO REVERSE OR DRIVE. *TR

IT SOUNDS LIKE THE REAREND IT FEELS LIKE SOMETHING BUMPS YOU FROM THE REAR. I CHECKED THE DRIVE SHAFT,U JOINTS I JUST THINK ITS IN THE REAREND HAVE NOT TAKEN IT TO A MECH. YET HE WILL TELL ME THE SAME THING. *TR

SAG OR HESITATION ON ACCELERATION (NORMAL OPERATING CHARACTERISTICS). EQUIPPED W/ GASOLINE AND AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. *TR

WEEK PRIOR TO INCIDENT THESE TRUCK SYMPTOMS OCCURRED SIMULTANEOUSLY WHILE DRIVING IN HOT WEATHER HIGHWAY SPEED SMOOTH DRY SURFACE HIGHWAY.

THIS IS A RECURRING PROBLEM- MY VEHICLE (PURCHASED BRAND NEW BY ME) WHILE CRUISING ON THE HIGHWAY WILL START TO TRY AND CUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. THE DOOR LOCKS WILL POP UP AND DOWN, THE DASH GAUGES POWER ON AND OFF, THE HEADLAMPS FLASH ON AND OFF, ETC... LAST WEEK THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN WHILE DOING THIS AND I HAD TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THIS HAPPENED THREE TIMES IN 48 HOURS. *TR
