Cylinder 6 misfire. The mechanics have replaced everything that could be triggering the cylinder 6 misfire and still it is having problems they said the only way to fix it is to replace the engine but I should not have to replace an engine with low miles and that has been babied. I have also looked on multiple sites with people who own the same truck and all have the same exact problem with the same cylinder.

Incident Sep 14, 2023

I received a recall notice on my truck for the airbags from a local dealer in late 2020. The dealer who sent the notice was not the dealer i purchased from originally and was over 40 miles away . When i tried to set up an appointment with the original dealer they had no record of a recall for my vin # , Nor does this site ! My truck is a 2007 that i originally leased in June of 2006 and bought out the lease when it was up. I believe what has happened is at that time my model was a body style they only made a short run of and within a few months came out with a new body style for 2007 , and that myself and others with the early 2007 model got lost in this process . My passenger side Airbag Warning Light is on and i believe a clear and present danger as i drive.

Incident Feb 24, 2022

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.

Incident Dec 20, 2021

2007 Silverado 1500. Has had a situation where truck acts a dead battery or no battery in the truck. Conditions are no start, key fob will remote start truck then truck dies all electrical in truck works. Have dad CD player shoveling cds when no key in truck. Air and heat switch’s back and forth. Door locks cycle up and down. Have to reset radio and clock after the power failed. This is not from a dead battery. All I do to reset it all is to put a battery booster to battery terminals and switch booster on and off. Truck is back to normal. Most recent advent was all this at 1 time. Door locks cycle, radio turns on and off, ac changes to heat, low fuel and seat belt alarms start sounding, instrument cluster act irrationally, speed odometer goes from 20 to60 back and forth with truck cutting off at 20 and powering to 60. After several miles of driving everything is back to normal and I drive straight to my mechanic. Cut the truck off and Bingo, acts like there is not a battery in the truck. Nothing at all electrical. Total silence. I have had minor electrical since truck was almost new. I always carry a booster pack and it worked to start truck and get me home. Now for what my mechanic found after my last disaster. There is a high amperage fuse block located under your fuse box in the engine bay. There is 2 threaded studs for wires that feed your trucks electrical. Studs had never had ant nuts on them to hold the wires secure and after 14 years of total aggravation and fear of an accident or fire. I hope truck is fixed for good. GM dealers would blow me off with any excuse why they couldn’t find a problem. They wanted to sell batteries , Pcms and ecms. The reason this becomes a safety problem is a chance of total power failing while in traffic being rear ended or worse. There really should be a recall for these trucks and checked. I’ve read hundreds of remarks from people with these same issues. I hope this helps. I am thankful to have a mechanic who will research.
