Three problems related to wiring have been reported for the 2008 Chevrolet Silverado. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
The contact owns a 2008 Chevrolet Silverado. While driving various speeds, the vehicle decelerated and stalled without warning. The contact had to park and restart the vehicle, but it would not accelerate past 10 mph. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the wiring harness cam sensor failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure recurred. The contact returned the vehicle to the dealer where several repairs were made, but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 131,000.
Engine trouble light appears and service airbag message appears,both. Passenger side windows would not operate. Burning odors appear inside the cabin. The g. M. Dealership located the wiring harness had caught fire and melted part of the carpet on the front drivers side kick plate. $2,400. 00 to replace the harness and carpet. What's going to prevent this from happening again?.
Vehicle was stopped, waiting to enter road, dashboard lit up like a christmas tree and smoke started pouring from under the hood. Turned vehicle off, called a tow truck and it was taken to our mechanic. The sealed internal fuse box and wiring harness conections had caught fire and burned, damaging the main fuse panel that costs $450 to replace and the main wiring harness connected to the fuse box. I have read several complaints filed by other Silverado owners for the same reason but their vehicles completely burned to the ground. How many people have to injured or killed by this before there is a recall? please help!.
