2003 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 3500 Electrical System Problems

FIRST COMPLAINT FOR THIS PROBLEM WAS REPORTED ON 10/21/10. COMPLAINT #10361641. SAME PROBLEM AGAIN DTR LIGHT ON RIGHT SIDE OUT,SMELLED BURNING WIRE SAW THAT THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN. WIRES LEADING TO LIGHT ASSEMBLY MELTED AND ALSO MELTED THE SOCKET AGAIN. I THINK THIS COULD POSSIBLY LEAD TO SOME SORT OF ELECTRICAL FIRE IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. I FIXED THE PROBLEM MYSELF THE FIRST TIME AND WILL DO SO THIS TIME. *JS

WHILE DRIVING HOME AROUND 10 PM WITH SMALL CHILDREN; MY TRUCK STARTED TO SURGE, BECAME DIFFICULT TO CONTROL, AND THE GAUGES DID NOT REGISTER ANYTHING ( ALL AT 0). THIS ROAD WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE AND OUTSIDE A BAD AREA, SO I CALLED MY HUSBAND TO COME FOLLOW ME HOME AND I DROVE HOME SLOWLY ALL THE WHILE ENDURING A CHUGGING MOTION. WHAT IS NORMALLY A 20 MINUTE TRIP BECAME AN HOUR AND A HALF TRIP. WHEN I GOT HOME AND SHUT THE TRUCK OFF MY HUSBAND LOOKED AT IT THINKING THAT THE FUEL INJECTORS COULD BE THE PROBLEM SINCE THEY HAD JUST BEEN RECALLED AND REPLACED. THE TRUCK WOULD NOT START WHEN HE WENT TO RESTART IT AND THE DASH SAID 'UNKNOWN DRIVER". THROUGH SOME RESEARCH WE DISCOVERED IT IS A FAULTY PASSLOCK SYSTEM. WE WENT THROUGH THE RECOMMENDATIONS AND IT WAS FIXED. THIS OCCURRED AGAIN TODAY...

GM PASSLOCK THEFT DETERRENT SYSTEM IS LEAVING THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE STRANDED . THIS PROBLEM IS WIDESPREAD AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. *TR
