The Keyless Entry Receiver(GM) Radio Module in my 2007 Chevy Silverado is retaining moisture. It caused my Tire Pressure Monitoring System to fail eventually causing a blow out on the highway. I believe moisture from the third headlight above rear window is allowing moisture to drip into the Keyless Entry Receiver. There are many accounts of this failing, I'm not sure why this has not been recalled. I nearly died.

I received an letter in the mail stating that my vehicle had an recall for airbags. I call gerry lane south Chevy in baton rouge, la and they refused to honor it. I've contacted them about 3 weeks ago. Can someone help me with this? I would hate for something to happen to me if I was in an accident. Also, I've looked on NHTSA website for other recalls on my vehicle. My vehicle has an recall for an wheel hub assemblies. My vehicle pulls to the right to the point that I have to stop to the vehicle (if I can), and it roars very. According to the NHTSA website the vehicle should have the recalled done but I don't believe it was done correctly. Can I get the dealership to fix the recall if the recall was already done? I am the second owner of the vehicle.
I have had an issue with my 2007 Chevy Silverado jerking with a hard thump while accelerating. At first it was diagnoses as a faulty throttle body. Replaced the throttle body. Now it intermittently pulls hard when accelerating at any speed. This cannot be safe. Dealerships cannot figure out the issue and I am having trouble googling any specific reason. Many people have this same issue with little to resolution. This is intermittently so it the stabilitrac and traction control lights come on and off within minutes. It was happening a few times a weeks and now it is happening a few times a day. This cannot be good for the safety of the vehicle on the road or the people in it.

I was driving my 2007 Chevy Silverado 1500 at about 40 MPH when I felt a large bump. I looked in my rear view mirror and saw something flying in the air about 20 feet off the ground behind me. When I started to pull over, it bounced several times in about 20' high bounds and started rolling at me with significant velocity. That's when I realized that it was my spare tire that fell off from underneath my truck. I barely moved out of the way of the rolling tire before it hit me. It continued rolling through a busy intersection nearly hitting three cars and a pedestrian. It bounced off a brick wall and came back through the intersection and finally stopped in the middle. I retrieved the tire and found that the entire hoist and tire assembly is only secured with one small bolt. The bolt was still in the chassis, but the bracket it was holding was literally ripped away from the bolt. …
