Other driver assistance problem on the 2007 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
1 crash 1 death 2 of the 12 reports for this failure mention a crash, a fire, an injury or a death. Those are the owner's words on the complaint form, not a verified finding, and one report can mention more than one.
When other driver assistance problem gets reported
Owners of the 2007 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 report other driver assistance problem at a median of 110,000 miles. A quarter of the reports come in before 85,000 miles and a quarter after 145,000 miles, from 10 reports that carried an odometer reading.
A part like this is normally expected to survive 45,000 miles. It is the 17th most-reported problem on this model year.
The mileage distribution
The reported range runs from 65,000 miles at the tenth percentile to 155,000 miles at the ninetieth, a spread of 89,949 miles across the middle 80% of reports.
When the reports scatter this far, the mileage is telling you about how these cars were driven more than about the part itself.
10% of the dated reports were filed under 36,000 miles.
The whole distribution
| 10th | 25th | Median | 75th | 90th |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 65,050 miles | 84,808 miles | 108,444 miles | 146,375 miles | 154,999 miles |
Read the 10th percentile as “one report in ten arrived this early”. Exact figures are shown in this table because it is the table of record; everywhere else on the site they are rounded to the precision the sample can carry.
What a percentile can and cannot tell you here
These five numbers describe the readings owners gave, in order. The median is the middle one: half the reports arrived below it. The 10th and 90th are the edges of the bulk of the distribution, and the distance between them is the part worth reading. A tight spread — say 70,000 to 95,000 miles — points at something that wears out on a schedule, and the schedule is knowable. A wide one, 20,000 to 190,000, points at a fault that hits some cars and never troubles others, which means the mileage on the listing in front of you tells you very little about your odds.
What these figures are not is a survival curve. Every reading here comes from a car whose owner filed a complaint, so the sample contains only failures: it cannot say what share of the fleet made it past 150,000 miles untouched, because those owners had nothing to report. Nor is the mileage the moment of failure — it is the odometer reading as recalled at the time of filing, which may be weeks later and is sometimes rounded to the nearest ten thousand by the person typing it.
Percentiles are shown at all only once 8 readings exist for the vehicle and mode. Below that the middle of a handful of numbers is noise wearing a decimal point, so the figures are withheld rather than dressed up.
What happens, and what it costs
Of these reports, 1 a crash and 1 a fatality are mentioned. Owners write their own complaints and the agency does not verify them, so read this as what the reports say happened rather than as a confirmed count.
Putting it right typically runs $250–$1,800 at an independent US shop. That range is an editorial estimate held in this site's failure-mode catalogue, not a figure from NHTSA, and it is a repair cost rather than a diagnosis cost.
The same failure on other years
The same failure is reported on 18 model years of this car. It shows up earliest on the 2019, at a median of 10,000 miles, and latest on the 2026 at 250,000 miles.
By volume the 2014 carries the most reports, with 101; the 2007 has 12. A mode that appears across most years of a model is usually a design choice rather than a bad batch.
If one year stands out to the left, that is the year to avoid; if the whole line sits at a similar mileage, this is wear rather than a defect in one production run.

What owners wrote
Verbatim from NHTSA complaint narratives, trimmed for length. The mileage is the one the owner gave.
1. No events noted. 2. Check engine light illuminates and stability traction control light illuminate periodically. When ever the traction control light is on, there is a very sharp jolt in the rear end whenever the vehicles start moving. 3. Taken into the dealer twice now. No remedy. Stated they through it was the fuel being used. So I have ran several tanks of fuel through it now and it still has the lights. I have made sure I purchased fuel from large dealer such as shell or conoco to make sure fuel should be good. I will take the trunk in again this week. *tr
I purchased the 2007 chevrolet trailblazer thinking I would have a good dependable car, not so. The stabil-I trac check light comes on and then when the cat is restarted it goes off. The gas gauge has dropped to empty and will no longer indicate fuel in tank, there has been a recall notice on this , however gm is only paying for 50% of the cost of repair. I had and accident ($ 2400.00) due to this gas gauge failure, no one hurt but could have been disastrous. Gm was notified and a claim filed and the results were they were not at fault. Now the lowbeam lighting system on the vehicle has gone out. I have had the fuses, sensor, and the bulbs checked and no one can find the problem. I am very frustrated with gm and the fact that the cars they produce now are substandard and they are not standing behind their products.where do I turn now? I need my vehicle. *tr
The evening of march 10 2013 around 1700 hour my brother a single man, was fatally killed in his 2007 chevrolet silverado k1500 pick-up truck, approximately 1 mile from his home on a paved country road. He was pr0nounce dead @ 1730 hour. The cause of the accident has not been determined, yet the report will show that he was traveling on a down hill slope where he swerved off the pavement to the right and then over corrected back on to and crossed the pavement on the left and then back across the hi way on the right impacting a bridge embankment over turning over hitting a tree, resting right side up. His air bag never deployed. We were told there was not any thing wrong with the airbags mechanism, further that the crash was not head on. This vehicle is totally destroyed. I have it in storage for any one inspection. My brother was not ejected from the vehicle, I do believe, should the bags had deployed, my brother would be alive today. Also, further his steering from one side to the other indicated he had no power steering and finally, the skid marks on the gravel edge and not on the pavement, give an indication, there were no…

How far this goes
Complaints are voluntary, so 12 is a floor and not a count of affected cars. Mileages are typed in by owners and cluster on round numbers. And the mode itself is assigned by software reading the complaint text, which is reliable in bulk and fallible one report at a time.

What this is and is not. These are the mileages at which owners chose to complain to a federal agency, which is not the same as the mileage at which the part fails on every car. It skews toward failures that happened outside warranty, cost real money, or frightened someone. It is still the only public dataset that carries failure mileage at all, and the shape of a few hundred readings is informative even when a single one is not.
