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.

The manifold bolts have broken off into the head of the engine. Resulting in failure of seal to head from the exhaust manifold. In turn, has caused the catalytic converter to fail and now the vehicle requires extensive work to pass emissions testing in california. It only takes one bolt to break on the exhaust manifold to cause this issue. The bolts are obviously the weak link. The engineering design needs to be…

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
