NHTSA complaint #11122744, filed 2018-08, 50,000 miles“Bundled wiring under dash started smoldering while vehicle was parked in driveway, had been sitting for about 48 hours. I pulled much of the dash apart to make sure there wasn't an active fire. While being repaired at local chevy dealer. Wiring actually caught fire burning the repair techs hands. When I asked what could have caused this, they just told me that sometimes it happens and they don't know why.”

Last week the vehicle completely shut down while doing this and I had to coast to the side of the road. This happened three times in 48 hours.”
