Replying to: obyone (Nov 22, 2006 3:28 pm) "where the seat bottom folded forward" How did you get it to do that? On my '06 Crew cab, the seat bottom rotates forward and rests against the back of the front seats. In the new '07's the seat bottom rotates up against the seat back like the rear seat in an extended cab. On that "optional" tailgate lock/EZ lift, shouldn't this be STANDARD for a truck today? How long has the competition had the lockable tailgate? Replies to this message: kcram (Nov 23, 2006 7:21 pm)

#19 of 34 Locking tailgates by ricsch Nov 25, 2006 (5:34 pm)
Just seems such a simple thing. They'll put a lock on the spare tire, but not the t.gate. Guess I overlooked the Dodge as I've never considered buying a Dodge.
#20 of 34 Reduced Engine Power light by trishn Feb 25, 2007 (2:16 pm)
My 2007 Chevy Silverado has 7150 miles. Today, the Reduced Engine Power light came on when starting it. The engine was rough so I turned it off, waited a few minutes, then it started correctly. The engine emblem on dash stayed lit and on constantly...not blinking. I love my truck! I have a seven year warranty. Does anyone have any idea what may be going on? Thank you in advance!

Replying to: trishn (Feb 25, 2007 2:16 pm) Hi Trish, We bought our 2007 Silverado in May and it's been in the shop for three months ied in total over 4 incidents of Reduced Power. The last incident almost put me over an embankment because I lost steering and brake power. Are you still having problems with yours? If so, stop driving it because it is dangerous. Do you have On Star? We had On Star run engine diagnostics each time and three out of four times it showed a problem. I love the Silverado truck too but I'm not willing to drive something that isn't safe. An Engineer came out from Head Office and said to replace our truck with a new one and then HO over turned that decision. I've been happy with our dealership but GMAC could take lessions from them. Disappointing considering we had a GM before buying this one and also have a 2007 HHR. We were/are happy with them but when I needed GM in times of trouble, they let me down. If anyone else has experienced a Reduced Power problem, I'd love to hear about it. Mich British Columbia, Canada

Hi Mich: My problem was solved when I removed my gas cap, put it back on correctly, and tightened it. It was not sealed properly when I put gas in and drove for awhile. The reduced engine power message went away. Fortunately, it has not happened again. I hope this will help your problem as well.

Replying to: trishn (Sep 17, 2007 6:15 am) Did you ever get this solved. I have a 2007 Silverado and the reduced power light came on and my truck died. Let it sit for 3 minutes and it starts again the just does this over and over. It has been at the dealer for a week and they cannot solve this. The truck has 600 miles on it.
