CHEVROLET SILVERADO 3500 Communications Back Up Alarm

CHEVROLET SILVERADO 3500 2007 Safety Review #10203362

CHEVROLET SILVERADO 3500 2007 car safety problem was reported on Sept 07, 2007.CHEVROLET SILVERADO 3500 2007, manufactured by GENERAL MOTORS CORP. had a problem with COMMUNICATIONS:BACK UP ALARM . THERE IS A SAFETY DEFECT THAT COULD CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH TO PEDESTRIANS. I HAVE PURCHASED A NEW 2007 CHEVROLET 3500HD, LTZ PICKUP TRUCK. THIS TRUCK WAS PURCHASED WITH THE FACTORY INSTALLED ULTRASONIC BACKUP SENSOR SYSTEM. MY SYSTEM WORKS JUST LIKE IT IS DESCRIBED IN THE OWNER'S MANUAL, BUT I BELIEVE THAT THE DESIGN IS DANGEROUSLY UNSAFE. IT RELIES ON VISUAL ONLY, INSTEAD OF AUDITORY (OR A COMBINATION OF AUDITORY AND VISUAL) WARNINGS. USERS EXPECT TO HAVE AN AUDITORY WARNING AND THUS WILL LIKELY HIT SOMETHING OR SOMEONE BEFORE DISCOVERING THEIR MISUNDERSTANDING. BRIEFLY, IN NORMAL OPERATION, THE SYSTEM WILL EMIT A SINGLE BEEP WHEN IT FIRST DETECTS ANY OBSTACLE WHILE BACKING UP IN REVERSE. WHEN THE OBSTACLE IS LESS THAN 12 INCHES FROM THE REAR BUMPER, IT EMITS A BURST OF BEEPS. THIS IS, OF COURSE, SO CLOSE THAT IT ONLY SERVES AS A PANIC STOP INDICATOR. IN BETWEEN THOSE TWO AUDIBLE SIGNALS, NO AUDITORY ALERTS ARE PROVIDED. INSTEAD THE DRIVER IS INSTRUCTED TO LOOK OVER THEIR SHOULDER OUT THE REAR WINDOW AND OBSERVE A SET OF LIGHTS ON ONE SIDE. AS ONE BACKS EVER CLOSER TO AN OBSTACLE, FIRST ONE AMBER LIGHT COMES ON, THEN A SECOND AMBER LIGHT COMES ON INDICATING THAT THE DRIVER IS STILL CLOSER TO THE OBJECT AND FINALLY A RED LIGHT COMES ON SIGNIFYING THAT YOU ARE VERY CLOSE. THIS SYSTEM DESIGN IN INHERENTLY DANGEROUS BECAUSE THE DRIVER MUST LOOK AT THE PANEL WHILE BACKING UP TO GET THE BENEFIT OF THE CLOSING RANGE INDICATION. AS ANYONE KNOWS WHO DRIVES A PICKUP TRUCK, ESPECIALLY A ¾ OR 1 TON MODEL, YOU USE YOUR SIDE MIRRORS TO BACKUP. THIS IS BECAUSE THE TAILGATE IS SO HIGH THAT YOU CAN NOT SEE ANYTHING BUT THE HORIZON FROM THE REAR WINDOW. THIS SUBTLE BUT VITAL FLAW MEANS THAT THE DRIVER CAN BACKUP USING THEIR SIDE MIRRORS BUT CANNOT BENEFIT FROM THE ULTRASONIC SYSTEM UNTIL IT IS TOO LATE OR CAN USE THE ULTRASONIC SYSTEM BUT CANNOT SEE TO BACKUP. I HAVE MORE TO ADD BUT HAVE RUN OUT OF ALLOWABLE SPACE (2000 CHR)..KEN JOHNSTON *TR.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 25 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):1GCJC33617F.

BOTH OCCURRENCES WERE IDENTICAL. THERE WAS A LOSS OF POWER THAT SEVERELY LIMITED ACCELERATION AND TOP SPEED. THE DETAILS OF THE CONDITIONS ARE AS FOLLOWS: ?RPM WILL NOT GO ABOVE 2200RPM ?MAX SPEED 49 MPH (TRUCK UNLOADED - IT TAKES ABOUT 1 - 1 1/2 MILES TO GET SOME SPEED BACK FOLLOWING EVENT) ?ALL GAUGES INDICATE NORMAL OPERATING RANGES ?ENGINE TEMP, TRANSMISSION TEMP, OIL PRESSURE NORMAL ?THE ONLY WAY TO INCREASE SPEED IS TO COME UP TO 2200 RPM, LET OFF THE ACCELERATOR TO CAUSE TRANSMISSION TO SHIFT AND THEN REPEAT THE PROCESS ?SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON ?LOW ENGINE POWER READOUT ON HISTORY: FIRST OCCURRENCE: ?5/9/2008, ODOMETER 7,779 MILES, DESERT SUN OF ROSWELL NM CHEVROLET 505 625-1000, INVOICE CTCS148596 ?INSTALLED NEW CALIBRATION UPDATE FOR P0402 SECOND OCCURRENCE: ?12/29/2009, ODOMETER 24,339 MILES, INDEPENDENCE CHEVROLET OF BLOOMSBURG PA 570 784-2720, INVOICE CVCS300288 ?ADVISED BY FACTORY TO UPDATE PCM CALIBRATIONS ?NOTE, ON 10/26/2009 TRUCK WAS INSPECTED FOR UPDATES AT MY REQUEST AND MY COST. THE SYSTEM WAS SCANNED, HOOKED TO GM NET AND NO UPDATES WERE FOUND. CONCLUSIONS: THERE SEEMS TO BE AN AS BUILT PROBLEM WITH THE TURBO CHARGER, COMPUTER CONTROLS AND SENSORS FOR THIS TRUCK. I HIGHLY SUSPECT THAT GM IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND THE REPAIR NEEDED ALTHOUGH NO RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED TO DATE. THIS PROBLEM MAY BE DEEMED TO EXPENSIVE TO REPAIR UNDER WARRANTY BY GM. MY SUSPICION IS BASED ON THE FACT THAT GM KNOWS THAT IF THEY RELOAD THE PCM CALIBRATION DATA THE SYSTEM WILL SOMEHOW RESET ITSELF AND WORK AGAIN FOR A WHILE. DANGER: A NEAR TOTAL LOSS OF POWER ON THE ROAD IS SERIOUS. SPEED GOES TO 20-30 MPH QUICKLY. THIS IS ESSENTIALLY A NO FUEL EVENT. IF THE TRUCK IS LOADED OR PULLING A TRAILER THE EVENT BECOMES MORE DRAMATIC AND UNSAFE. PLEASE HELP! *TR.Mileage was 7779 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):1GCJK33647F.
