2007 Chevrolet Express 3500 recalls

Recall 14V-706: Equipment Adaptive/Mobility

Reported Nov 5, 2014 · 34 vehicles affected · Cummings Mobility Conversion & Supply

Problem: Cummings Mobility Conversion & Supply (Cummings) is recalling certain model year 2006-2014 Ford E-150, E-250, E-350, Chevrolet Express, 2006-2008 Dodge Sprinter, and 2009-2014 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, and 2013 Ford Transit Connect vehicles manufactured January 1, 2006, to October 8, 2014, equipped with certain model S2005, S2010, S5005, S5010, S5505, and S5510 wheelchair lifts manufactured by Ricon Corporation after January 1, 2006. The platform side plate of the affected wheelchair lifts may crack.

Risk: If the platform side plates crack, the lift platform can separate from the lift and come to rest against the vehicle's lift door. When the doors are opened, the platform may fall out, increasing the risk of injury to the lift operator.

Fix: Cummings will notify owners to take buses to a Ricon dealer or service center who will install supplemental platform support bumpers. Any platform that has already started cracking will be replaced, free of charge. The recall began January 13, 2015. Owners may contact Cumming's customer service at 1-800-639-5438 or Ricon customer service at 1-800-322-2884. Cumming's number for this recall is 14E-041.

Fuel/Propulsion System · at 160,000 miles · reported Feb 23, 2018

The contact owns a 2007 chevrolet express 3500. While driving approximately 35 MPH, the vehicle misfired and stalled. The contact coasted the vehicle to the side of the road and it was unable to restart. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the fuel pump was severely rusted due to a fuel tank leak, and both needed to be replaced. The contact also stated that a very strong odor of fuel was present, which was noticed approximately a year and a half ago. The vehicle was not repaired. The dealer (Raymond chevrolet in antioch, illinois) was contacted and the…

Power Train · at 30,112 miles · reported Mar 22, 2011

I got an huge bang and jerk when starting off from a stand still. The 2007 chevrolet express 3500 with 6 litre engine, only had just 30,112 KM on it when this first started to happen. It has not been heavily used. No towing or heavy loads. It currently has 34088 KM on the truck and now does the bang and jerk almost every time you start from a stand still. Right after that first time a red check engine light on dashboard came on. I bought an innova 3030 to check the error code. The error code was p0894 - I did a search on a site and found a NHTSA: action number: 10021019 service bulletin…

Electronic Stability Control (ESC) · at 31,000 miles · reported Jun 7, 2009

The traction control system has begun to actuate intermittently under normal driving conditions. The improper engagement of the traction control system is usually accompanied by an alarm and flashing ABS warning light which may or may not reset. The vehicle was purchased new in december of 2006. The system functioned correctly for the first two years of service and then failed in february of 2009 without warning. The system will actuate either while driving in a straight line or making turns on dry pavement. The severity of the event varies. Sometimes the system is briefly engaged without…

Seat Belts · at 12,000 miles · reported Oct 20, 2008

The contact owns a 2007 chevrolet express 3500. The contact stated that the passenger side seat belt could not be pulled back out after it retracted. His wife could not move while strapped in the seat belt. There was no room in the seat belt; therefore, she had to ride in the vehicle without being restrained. The vehicle was taken to two dealers with opposing opinions. One dealer stated that he was supposed to pull the seat belt out and should be able to have "play in it" afterwards. The other dealer stated that he could duplicate the failure and that he was not supposed to have "play in the…

Child Seat · reported Jul 9, 2008

I took my 2007 chevy express 15 passenger van to the dealership this morning to have "stronger" tethers installed, also additional tethers installed. I was told that there were no other tethers that could be installed. Also, I was told that they do not have anything stronger than what is already in our vehicle. From everything I have read the vehicle installed tethers only hold up to 48 lbs. Our carseat alone is 30 lbs and my two children are 40 and 30 lbs each. That tells me that neither of them are going to be safe with the tether system in the event of a crash in our vehicle. Now we have…
