4 Exterior Lighting problem

Failure Date: 08/09/2013

I started my truck and turned the air conditioner on its highest setting while I loaded my two children into their car seats. I had one of my children in their car seats and was putting the second one in his when I smelled smoke and quickly realized there was smoke blowing out of the vents. I got my boys out of their seats and shut the vehicle off. I opened the doors and searched for something to extingush flames. After grabbing the graden hose and returning to the truck I noticed that there was smoke coming from under the dash but I didn't see any flames. I waited to see it the smoke was getting worse but it wasn't. I opened the hood and nothing was smoking in the engine compartment. I felt around the consol and noticed that there were a number of areas that were extremely hot. A day later I tried to see if I could find the location of the fire. I discovered that anytime I had the air conditioner on and the blower on above level "3" something would begin to smoke. Before this problem with the air conditioner occurred all of the lights on my instrument panel would periodically turn off while I was driving. There are definately some major problems with the electrical wiring on this vehicle. I hate to think what could have happened if I didn't catch the problem in time.

There is a safety recall on the shift lever indicator but my truck was not included and I have that exact sam issue. I cannot tell what gear my truck is in why isnt my vehicle included? my vehicle was stationary and gradually started to fade at start up.

Failure Date: 06/20/2008

Gear shifter indicator has no display as the gm recalls that already exists for this year. Major safety hazard with known gm issues. Why is only my vehicle not covered under this recall.

7 Exterior Lighting problem

Failure Date: 03/03/2008

Rust corrosion has worn through to affect electrical lines - rear lights no longer work. Have already replaced the dashboard console electrical. Gas fuel light stays on which is related to the circuitry electrical system and affects "smog" system. Main problem is, right now, the safety and driveability of this truck due to rusting through underbody to the drive shaft and axel/brake system (nevermind the rear lights not working) will this truck fail on the road when driving?.
