Vsa Warning Light On problems of the 2008 Chevrolet Silverado 1500

I was entering I-75 interstate ramp and moving along with traffic and about 70 mph, the door locks started going up and down on there own, the instrument cluster needles started sporadically going up and down then they show no signs of anything, the airbag light came on along with the chime sound, the stability control light came on, the truck lost a little bit of power when trying to accelerate, I did smell a burnt wire odor. I have replaced the battery and alternator and still the problem exists. This has happen twice before this incident. The stability control light came on and the truck ran really rough. I took it to my local Chevrolet dealer ship and they told me that the number 8 cylinder had oil leaking into it which I see no signs of blue smoke coming out of the tailpipe and have been driving it for 5 months now with no problems except what is going on now with the electrical system. I have been researching the electrical problems with this year truck and it seems to be a wide spread manufacture problem. I have also seen pictures of the same year truck with the same problems that are described above and this ladies truck burned from the dashboard all the way to the front seats. A total loss. General motors needs to address this problem immediately before someone dies. Recall recall recall!!!.

While driving with cruise control on at highway speeds, the traction stability light came on along with brake light. The door locks activated and all dash backlighting went out. After shutting off engine, all electrical power shut off to include the clock on the radio. I checked battery connections and after wiggling the positive battery cable, the power came on. The clock was set to 12:00, and the a/c was reset to 74. This was the first incident. After several incidents, my truck actually stalled in an intersection and I had to stop in the road to adjust the battery cable. I have had approximately 20 incidents of similar nature, each time with increasing symptoms. At one point, the warning light for the a/c overheating came on. Also, the battery and cables become extremely hot, and stay hot after engine shutdown for several hours until the cable is readjusted. I have read several forums looking for a solution, and have concluded the most likely source is a failing positive battery cable. In the forums, it seems that the cable was redesigned in 2007, and has affected all vehicles through 2013. This poses a threat to overheating battery connections which could lead to a fire, and threat of a vehicle collision.
