What owners say about the electrical system

Verbatim from NHTSA complaints, newest first
“Engine wiring harness. Apparently engineeed, designed or installed poorly. With normal use, multiple points are subject to wearing of insulation or wire fracture. While on cruise, transmission went into limp mode. Dealer verified exposed wire, replacing entire harness.Chevy has service bulletins out on the issue but nothing to the customer.”

“On XXX, at midday, in the Haggen parking lot in [XXX], I unlocked the passenger door with the silver exterior door button. At that moment the side-view camera display glitched, and afterwards the exterior door buttons stopped working. The key fob and the interior door buttons still worked. Restarting the infotainment system did not fix it, and the passive-unlock setting was not the cause. After I left the truck locked and asleep for about 20 minutes, the buttons and cameras both worked again. I use the side cameras for lane centering while driving.”

“I applied brake and pedal went straight to floor without any stopping. I had to steer into a ditch to avoid a collision resulting in more damage to steering system, frame, windshield and body. This was complete brake system failure and yes is available for inspection. I was in a very rural area at time and was able to avoid a collision however, if I had been in city or on highway it could have easily resulted in injury or fatalities. The problem is currently under federal investigation and has been widely reported as a serious problem which may soon result in widespread recall. The vehicle has not been inspected yet by dealership or anywhere else as it just happened 18 hours ago. There were no warning lights or chimes before the incident when pedal went to the floor. After incident dashboard lit up with warning lights including, Brake, ABS, Traction control, power steering, Collision system, Engine light, Steering Column and others. Truck speed limited to 43 mph. And pedal still goes to the floor without applying brakes.”
