Other wheel or tire problem on the 2007 Chevrolet Silverado 2500
When other wheel or tire problem gets reported
Owners of the 2007 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 report other wheel or tire problem at a median of 40,000 miles. A quarter of the reports come in before 30,000 miles and a quarter after 55,000 miles, from 8 reports that carried an odometer reading.
A part like this is normally expected to survive 60,000 miles. It is the 10th most-reported problem on this model year.
The mileage distribution
The reported range runs from 20,000 miles at the tenth percentile to 70,000 miles at the ninetieth, a spread of 50,627 miles across the middle 80% of reports.
Reports bunched into a band this tight usually mean the component has a life of its own: it goes at roughly the same mileage regardless of who owns it.
50% of the dated reports were filed under 36,000 miles.
The whole distribution
| 10th | 25th | Median | 75th | 90th |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 20,316 miles | 32,005 miles | 39,503 miles | 55,337 miles | 70,943 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
Putting it right typically runs $200–$1,500 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 12 model years of this car. It shows up earliest on the 2011, at a median of 1,800 miles, and latest on the 1997 at 160,000 miles.
By volume the 2001 carries the most reports, with 11; the 2007 has 8. 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.
Tl*the contact owns a 2007 chevrolet silverado 2500 hd. The day the contact purchased the vehicle, he noticed that the tire pressure in the rear would not allow the vehicle to obtain good traction. The dealer stated that he could adjust the pressure, but the tire pressure warning light remained illuminated until the correct air pressure was placed back in the tires. The contact feels that he should be able to adjust the pressure without the warning light illuminating. The failure mileage was approximately 5 and current mileage was 20,000. Updated 5/19/08 *cn the tire pressure monitoring system is set so that the rear tire pressure must be 80 psi. While this is appropriate for a full load condition, it is far excessive for an unloaded situation casing severe loss of traction and also excessive tire wear. Updated 05/19/08. *jb

On august 16, 2010 the local dealership for gmc products failed to perform required maintenance on my vehicle. As part maintenance level ii specifications, resetting tire pressures after tire rotation and lubrication of fittings and body components is not accomplished by the service department. Internal vehicle monitoring of tire pressures the front tires indicates 85 and 87 psi. Vehicle specifications require 60 psi in both front tires. The dealership service department over inflated both front tires 25 and 27 psi. These tires pressures are verified with an external hand help pressure gage done by the owner after the vehicle sat for more than three hours. Refund of remittance paid for services not performed is requested but also is not accomplished by the dealership. *tr

How far this goes
Complaints are voluntary, so 8 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.

How common is other wheel or tire problem on the 2007 Chevrolet Silverado 2500?
8 reports have been filed with NHTSA, about 0.3 per 1,000 vehicles. Complaints are voluntary, so this is a floor rather than a count of affected cars.
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.
