NHTSA Complaint #10160945 — 2002 CHEVROLET AVALANCHE 1500

THE "CARGO LAMP ON" INDICATOR IN THE MESSAGE AREA OF THE DRIVER INSTRUMENT PANEL IS DISPLAYED WHEN ANY OF THE FOLLOWING ARE ACTIVATED; BOTH OVERHEAD LIGHTS IN THE FRONT OVERHEAD CONSOLE, THE THREE GARAGE DOOR/GATE BUTTONS(HOME LINK), BOTH VISOR MIRROR LIGHTS, AND BOTH FRONT DOOR COURTESY LIGHTS(THE ONES THAT COME ON WHEN THE DOOR IS OPENED). ALL OF THESE ALSO NO LONGER TURN ON THE APPROPRIATE LIGHTS WHEN THEY ARE TRIGGERED. IN ADDITION, THE SUN ROOF/MOON ROOF OPEN/CLOSE BUTTON NO LONGER WORKS EITHER, ON THE 06/25/06 IT TRIGGERED THE "CARGO LIGHT ON" DISPLAY BUT AS OF THE 06/27/06 IT DOES NOTHING. MY CONCERNS ARE THAT THE COMPUTER MAY BE CORRUPT OR MALFUNCTIONING, WHICH COULD LEAD TO FAILURES, ACTIVATIONS, OR DISABLING OF SYSTEMS SUCH AS FUEL INJECTION, BRAKE CONTROL, STEERING, TRACTION CONTROL, ACCELERATION, FUEL RATIOS, TIMING, 4 WHEEL/2 WHEEL DRIVE CONVERSION, BRAKE LIGHTS, TURNING LIGHTS, HEADLIGHTS, OR ELECTRICAL FIRE, OR WIRING THAT COULD CAUSE ELECTRICAL FIRE ALSO. *JB
