Each tile shows the median mileage at which that model year’s failures were reported. † marks a year whose median likely understates the mileage: much of its reporting came after 2020, when most complaints stopped recording an odometer reading. The 2012 reports latest and the 2013 earliest, but part of that gap is age: the 2012 has had 1 more year on the road to accumulate mileage.

What each one is ↓

Owners filed 3,650 complaints with NHTSA about the 2007–2013 Chevrolet Silverado 1500; the airbag system leads with 53.4% of them, and half of the 1,787 that record an odometer reading came by 70,000 miles. A count like this can’t rate reliability on its own: NHTSA records what owners chose to report, not how many of each car were sold.

Failures are spread across the mileage range, with the middle half between 38,000 and 105,000 miles.

Note: in 2007, both this generation and the previous one were sold at the same time, and NHTSA complaints are not separated by body.

System by system, in words

Complaints about this generation are not spread evenly across the vehicle, and the systems that generate the most of them do not all fail at the same point in a car's life. The median failure across all systems here is 70,000 miles; the figures below show which parts of the car run ahead of that and which run behind.

The airbag system accounts for 53.4% of complaints (1,948 reports, 599 of them with a mileage figure), with a median of 80,000 miles, close to the vehicle's overall pattern. The middle half of these reports falls between 50,000 and 120,000 miles.

A single system taking 53.4% of all complaints is a concentration worth noting. It means that for this generation, most of what owners reported came back to one area of the car rather than being distributed across many small faults.

Problems owners could not categorise accounts for 14.8% of complaints (542 reports, 319 of them with a mileage figure), with a median of 65,000 miles, close to the vehicle's overall pattern. The middle half of these reports falls between 45,000 and 95,000 miles.

Body structure accounts for 10.7% of complaints (389 reports, 247 of them with a mileage figure), with a median of 70,000 miles, close to the vehicle's overall pattern. The middle half of these reports falls between 41,000 and 101,000 miles.

The electrical system accounts for 8.0% of complaints (293 reports, 217 of them with a mileage figure), with a median of 71,000 miles, close to the vehicle's overall pattern. The middle half of these reports falls between 40,000 and 108,000 miles.

The engine accounts for 7.1% of complaints (259 reports, 180 of them with a mileage figure), with a median of 99,000 miles, close to the vehicle's overall pattern. The middle half of these reports falls between 63,000 and 128,000 miles.

The transmission and driveline accounts for 3.7% of complaints (136 reports, 94 of them with a mileage figure), with a median of 60,000 miles, close to the vehicle's overall pattern. The middle half of these reports falls between 14,000 and 99,000 miles.

Known problems with the 2007–2013 Silverado 1500

Before you buy a 2007–2013 Silverado 1500: the 3-minute check

Generated from 1,787 mileage-tagged complaints, 14 recall campaigns, 3 documented problem areas. Print this page — the checklist survives print.

For a buyer, failures on this generation are spread rather than concentrated: the middle half falls between 38,000 and 105,000 miles, with a median of 70,000. There is no single mileage threshold to watch, which means condition and maintenance records are more informative than the odometer.

On inspection, the airbag system and problems owners could not categorise are where this generation's reports concentrate, so those are the areas worth a specific look. Problems owners could not categorise in particular shows a median failure mileage of 65,000, which gives a concrete number to compare against the odometer of any car you are considering.

None of this is a substitute for a pre-purchase inspection on the individual car. Aggregate patterns describe a population; the example in front of you has its own history.

2007–2013 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 recalls (14)

NHTSA records 14 recall campaigns covering vehicles in this generation. A recall means the manufacturer or the regulator concluded there was a safety defect or a standard was not met, and that a free remedy is owed to owners — including second and later owners.

The campaigns cluster around the airbag system (5), the electrical system (2), the suspension (2). Several campaigns against one area can mean a remedy that did not hold, or separate defects in parts filed under the same heading; the summaries below name each defect.

Recall status is specific to the individual vehicle, not the model. Checking a VIN against NHTSA's lookup is free and takes under a minute, and it is the only way to know whether a particular car has had the work done.

Recall repairs are free at an authorized dealer, for any owner. Summaries below shorten NHTSA’s own wording. Some of these campaigns are filed under the shared name “Silverado”, which NHTSA also uses for heavy-duty trucks; they are marked below, and the VIN decides whether one applies.

    NHTSA campaign 08V-441 (2008-08-28).

Some of these 14 campaigns also cover GMC Sierra 1500 2007–2013 (13 of them), Cadillac Escalade 2007–2014 (11 of them), Chevrolet Suburban 2007–2014 (10 of them) and Chevrolet Tahoe 2007–2014 (10 of them): the same campaign number appears in NHTSA’s file against both, which means the same defect and the same free repair. 1 of the 14 are specific to this vehicle alone.

Crashes, fires and injuries owners reported

What owners reported alongside the failure itself, out of 3,650 complaints against this generation:

Fires

Fatality reports

These flags are self-reported by complainants and unverified by NHTSA; one report can carry several flags, so the counts overlap and do not sum to a total. They are not adjusted for how many of these vehicles are on the road. No chart is drawn here on purpose: overlapping counts spanning very different magnitudes cannot be honestly encoded as lengths.

Silverado 1500 problems by model year

The 2008 drew the most complaints of this generation, 914, most of them about the airbag system, and the 2012 the fewest, 216. A typical year drew about 444.

That makes the 2008 stand out at roughly 2.1 times a typical year. A count like this follows how many cars of each year were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as how often they failed, so it is not by itself evidence of a worse year; what each year's reports name, in its card and row, is the useful part.

One caveat on the year figures: in 2007, the manufacturer sold both this generation and the previous one at the same time, and NHTSA records do not distinguish between them. Complaints filed under that year may describe either vehicle.

† At least 40% of this year’s complaints were filed after 2020, and most complaints filed since then carry no odometer reading. Its median rests on the earlier reports and likely understates the mileage these failures happen at.
