Headlamp melting pigtail harness
Chevrolet used extremely thin wires and the wiring harness that goes through the door hing break apart inside the insulator causing the airbag sensor in the driver door not to work. other people with same truck have had same issue. it is a very dangurous issue and a very expensive issue to have fixed. this should not be happening wire you not break inside the insulator.
Taka recall ignition is hard to turn and start

Driver's side low beam headlight goes out. the lightbulb is in good order. the pigtail shows signs of excessive heat/small fire, plastic melting, carbon in the metal contact on the lightbulb and socket. the pigtail was replaced and lasted approximately one month to show the same issues. i am afraid of a vehicle fire. the vehicle's stabilitrack is unusable, the warning light is on. the issues happen while the vehicle is in motion and stationary. the issues happened suddenly during normal city/highway driving. the issues are ongoing and started six months ago.
Ignition switch is bad. it locks up to where the key will need to be turned around and tried again. when taking key out the key hole (at times) stays in the on position and dings as i leave making the assessories function stay on. if key is bumped the key can turn off truck making all power turn off.
Reviewed recall 18v295 and my vehicle has 1 bad power window switch which does not work. could liquid have caused this same problem under this recall? does not work in any vehicle motion.
Right headlight is in-operable. light bulb has been replaced with oe bulb, light still does not work. dealer stated this is an ongoing issue with this make and model. dealer also stated i would need multiple hours of diagnostic to determine the issue. no accidents, no collisions. vehicle at this time is unsafe to drive at night. multiple dealers in my area have noted this as an issue for my make and model. right low beam is completely in-operable.
Lights go dim on it all the time and the electric system in it is bad sometimes the air condition works most of the time it don't and the cruise quit working in it
My truck should have no issues as i follow the maintenance schedule and take good care of my vehicle but it has happened twice where i was in the middle of the interstate when my vehicle displayed the check engine light, traction off, stabiltrac off, the airvents stopped blowing cool air and released humidity, brakes were not functioning properly (hard to actually break), steering wheel/power steering was malfunctioning making it almost impossible to turn or get out of traffic and it seems the vehicle just decided to suddenly stall while in motion. i was very lucky due to sudden high risk of a vehicle crash and was able to pull over without getting anyone hurt. i turned the vehicle off once i got in park and looked under the hood, everything was fine showing no issues but i went to start the vehicle and it did not crank or try to turn over but all electronics/lights were still working. i check all fluid levels, all was fine and then i went to try one more time to start the vehicle. to my surprise, it started up just fine and with only the check engine light on and not reading any other messages. all functions were working properly but i was too scared to go anywhere without having an idea what just happened. i went to the closest trusted auto place that would be able to use a scanner to find the trouble codes of my check engine light. the code was for a malfunction with the internal control module (code: p0601). this has happened to me twice in the last week and its very scary to feel at risk for a sudden malfunction to cause a crash. after researching, i noticed that there was a recall bulletin no: 14515b, that had covered pretty much the same issues and for my vehicle's year/model. my vin didn't register for any recalls, i don't understand how other vehicles are getting qualified in order to prevent the same issues i'm experiencing. *tr
I noticed yesterday that the service air bag warning came on. didn't think anything of it. got in there this morning 7/15 and was driving down the road and it did it again. this time all of the electrical went out for a minute including the speedometer. couldnt even turn my ac on or off. called the dealership we got it from and they told me i was looking at a 2 week wait but i could drop it off on 7/18 and they would get to it.
