What owners wrote
Around 1:30 a.m. Truck caught fire in driveway while no one was driving vehicle. Fire was so intense, it melted the back window. Dealer said it was somewhere in the dashboard.
I am writing to seek some assistance with an inferior product produced by GM. I have a chevy 2000 silverado z71 pick up that has piston slap starting at around 15k miles and progressively worsened which the dealer states is normal wear. This expensive vehicle also has a rear end bang into drive and then reverse again the dealer states is normal. Recently I fixed a snapped cable for the drivers window which the same kind of cable was recalled for the tail gate cables.
