Electrical System Problems of Chevrolet C/k Pickups

The vehicle is 16 years old. It currently has 201,352 miles. The body is starting to rust over the rear tire and the frame is really rusted. Driver power window switch went out and rolled itself down and cant get it to go up at all. Really love the truck but gm could have built it to last longer. . My 1974 GMC is in better shape than this truck is and its nearing 40 years old.

Heater controls and blower motor stopped working. Removed the glove box and found a melted wire connector. The fact that insulating material had been wrapped around the connector by the factory suggests this was a known issue. .

2003 cehvrolet 3500 duramax diesel, when computer thinks engine will stall it is programed to jump the rpm's 300 by it self, happened within 10 days of owners hip and several times after, dealer had truck 5 out of the first 8 weeks of ownership can not fix as they cannot duplicate and it does not send a fault code. I have wokrd my way up at chev and was told tough, iand if I had an ccident and caused injury to some one that they have lawyers on staff fo that. The owner of the dealership addmitted to me he would not drive the vehicle or let anyone in his do so. After 8 wks they offered to do a buy back at over an $8000. Loss. I have beed advised that if I trade or sell the truck I have to disclose this defect or else I am liable. I have done an informal survey and dicovered at least 20% do the same thing and the real number could be as high as a third do. The pickup truck is too heavy to be covered under any lemon law and gm knows this. I have been dealing with a mr. Mccabe at 1-800-231-1841 ext 57480 file # I-99869537. Basicly I have been told the problem is in my head. The last time I picked the pickup up at the dealership it did this sudden acceleration I almost hit a car there. Two weeks ago I ahd an accident because of this causing $2400 in damages. I am frustrated and don't know where to turn. Customer relations claims they have no record of this problem, but the power train division addmitted to my dealer they do. I won't let my 17 year old son or anyone else drive the truck as I can not afford to put myself in a liabilty situation because of the truck. When talking to other owners with the same problem, they have the same results when they take it back to the dealer no fault coeds therfore no problem! help purchased date 04/01/2003.

Several years ago I filed a complaint on my 1999 Chevrolet c-1500 pickup with the same body style as 1998. An electrical fire occurred in the drivers side door while parked at work, consistent with NHTSA 03v093000. The incident occurred on a us navy base and the navy fire chief investigated the fire. His report ruled the fires origin electrical in the drivers door. It's been several years and I'm not sure of the date, but I can check with my insurance company who paid a $10,000 claim. Nhtsa 03v093000 should be expanded to include 1999 models of the "old" body style. I'm wondering why my complaint is no longer in your database.
