I own a 1995 chevy k2500, it appears the power window/lock switches on the driver side shorted and caught fire. The interior is ruined, along with much of the electrical components.
Vehicle was impacted at 6:00 position while at a complete stop, causing the vehicle to impact again at 12:00 position, driver's side airbag did not deploy.
The owner had a front end collision. He took out fifty feet of fence, went across the street and hit a brick wall at about 40-45MPH. Driver's air bag failed to deploy.
The fuel solenoid of my 1995 chevy k2500 6.5 diesel over heats due to poor location mounting, as in GM tech service bulletin#77-63-06ab, which can cause stalling, hard starting, hesitation.
When consumer was backed out of the garage , the brake pedal went completely to the floor. At 67,000 miles the wheel sensor went out on the right front. At 65,000mi the left front brake went out. The left front caliper was replaced. The vehicle would not start. The dealer replaced the starter. The tailgate would not open due to broken handle. The dealer replaced the wiper module because the wipers failed intermittently. The shift indicator reading was off and the shifter was not shifting smoothly.
