Problem #1: the fuel pump relay doesn't seem to disengage after first starting the engine and it heats up. This causes rough operating of the engine. Further investigation shows that the maxi fuse to the lighting system heats up also, but does not fail. Another area that is affected is the Mini fuse to the courtesy lamps. It heats up, but does not fail. The last area to be affected is the evaporative emission canister vacuum switch. It acts as if the wheels are out of balance around 50mph. I have taken this vehicle in to the dealership on a number of occasions and they either can't find anything wrong or try and tell me that the fuel injectors are at fault. They put injector cleaner in the fuel tank on two occasions, which made it run worse. I asked to have the injectors replaced while it was still under warranty and they said they had to follow procedure bulletin #00-06-04-003 before taking that step. The problem still existed, but they haven't offered to replace fuel injectors. My thinking is that the problem is really the ignition switch. Can you please advise me of any other similar complaints and how it was resolved? probelm #2: while driving straight highway at about 55 mph steering feels loose and wants shift lanes on it's own. On sweeping turns it turns to the right on it's own. I had the front end alligned and a new set of tires, but the problem still exists. Any advise?.

Using automatic light sensor control when lights failed-- 65mph on a dark secondary road- all the lights in the vehicle went out - inside and outside - fortunately it was a straight section of road -- slammed on the brakes and the pickup stopped before it went into the ditch - sure scared my passengers -- had a mercedes mechanic with us and he said he had read a news letter from the mercedes people about gm vehicles having complete electrical failures - he said that the article stated the engine had quit in several cases. The lights did functioned on the manual setting. However, after about 20 minutes we arrived home and the lights still would not function in the "auto sensor" position. I started using the "manual " position at night after the incident-- but, several times I forgot to use the manual setting and the same problem occurred. However, switching immediately to manual restored the lights. It is a bit unnerving having the lights quit -- as we live in western oklahoma and the roads are not as well marked nor lighted like back east. Reported problem to gm customer assistance center -- file number c02315205 -- reported to dealer also -- but - no one else had run into the problem -- they said they checked with their gm contact -- and they had no record of anyone else reporting this problem -- it really sounds like an electrical "contact" problem -- when it get hot or shorts out -- it opens the contact points and the lights go out-- then when it cools -- the auto sensor starts working again. After the first incident--I tried the auto sensor position next morning - the auto sensor worked just like it was supposed to operate. Thus, I could not duplicate the malfunction for the dealer's mechanics.

Left taillight circuit board failure during a long trip made for hazardous driving. Gm states that this is a common occurence. Weak component. Weak components should have safety recalls due to safety and poor design. Gm customer service contacted. Since vehicle had 41,000 miles, they felt no responsibility.

Automatic headlights on the Silverado do not give the driver the option of turning off the headlights. This is an impractical and inconvenient design which creates a problem at every military installation where drivers are required to turn off headlights when approaching entry gates at night. What was probably envisioned as a safety device is actually a safety hazard under certain conditions.
