Owned 3 months and under the dash when applying the brakes a squeaking noise comes from under the dash area. It does NOT appear to be a vacuum or hydraulic noise. Any Thoughts? Tx
Truck will also be going in for its 3rd alignment, only 3,500 miles. Pulls to the left and gets worse when braking. Any Thoughts? Tx
Does it make that sound even when the engine is off? It may just need grease on the actual brake arm pivot joint.
3rd alignment in 3500 miles sounds very excessive. How much did they change the alignment on the 1st & 2nd trips? Did they flip the tires in the front? Check the tire pressures?

This problem has been known to occur when Chevrolets are made to look like Toyotas.
BIG BIG mistake Chevrolet, all WWII vets and sons aren't dead yet!

Sounds like you have a collapsed or clogged brake line on the right side which makes only the left side brake; thus pulling to the left. Very unusual in a new vehicle.

I think you are thinking of the new design for the GMC/Chevrolet models. These do resemble the Tundra/Titan/Ford look. But, I believe the 2007 Classic models still have the same body style as the 2004-6 models. I like the old ones better as I can actually reach into the bed without getting a stepladder. Now, all the new pickups are too darned high in the bed.

My girlfriend's '06 Tahoe does the exact same thing. I was looking at an '07 Silverado Classic and it was exactly the same on the inside as her Tahoe, so I assume there's got to be a lot of the same parts there.
Do you hear the noise when you first put it in gear and start to take off? Like after it's been sitting, turned off a while? That's when I notice it most, and as I recall, someone else mentioned it here a while back.

You knowyou may be right, but when they also start resembling dodge, I know GM has a serious problem. It has to be more than an identity crisis, and even if thats all it is, it's a shocking betrayal crossing generations of loyal chevrolet owners. Literally sending them into doubts about who they are, and even who American is.

The light in question has not been coming on with the rest of the lights at night. along with the passenger side licence plate light. At first I could just shut the truck off and re start and it would come on, now nothing. just the right side tail light and licence plate light. Turn signals work fine just no tail light at night. Checked the connections, bulbs, and i'm fairly sure i got to every fuse and checked as well, and no problems there. Anyone help?????? Thanks.
