Instrument cluster- the only thing that works is the speedometer if I hit a bump the speedometer stops working my truck sometimes dies on me going down the roads, I recently took it to a shop and they ran a diagnostic test and told me it's a electrical problem but since my instrument cluster wasnt working could not narrow it down.. Windshield- front makes a whistle sound when your going down the highway it's been like that since I have owned it.. Battery- bought a new battery about 8 months ago and something keeps draining it sometimes causing it to have hesitation and bogs out.

I was traveling at approximately 55mph on a smooth paved county road with my A/C on. It was about 78 degrees outside. I had the A/C running about 15 minutes before the air just turned warm. I tried 3 times turning off the A/C and back on, and the air failed to cool. I stopped the truck, turned the A/C on, got out and looked at the A/C compressor. The A/C compressor was not engaging. I took it to a mechanic and the diagnosis was undetermined. 2 other mechanics failed to find the problem as well. The system was charged correctly, not leaking, and even replaced the HVAC control module and the problem was not fixed. There are many other cases just like mine and I would like gm to look into the problem. I am proud to be a gm customer and have always liked my gm pickups.

Wipers started malfunctioning and would not change speed. Soon after, they would not turn off at all. I had to pull the fuse to stop them, and have had to stop and replace the fuse in the rain. This is very dangerous.

Windshield wipers stay on and won't turn off, you can turn them on high, but not off or intermittent. Fuse had to be pulled to get them to cut off, but when fuse was replaced, wipers stayed on still. This is a potential safety hazard due to the fact that driving with fuse pulled any rainfall could hinder driving. Until vehicle is stopped and fuse is replaced.

(1) hot humid weather was apparently too much for my vehicle air conditioner. (2) the air conditioner blower motor resistor failed in addition to the associated electrical wiring going to the resistor. (3) the parts that were replaced cost $51.62, and the labor to replace the parts cost $445.00. The failure occurred with just over 31,000 miles on the vehicle. This failure could have just as easily resulted in a fire within the dashboard assembly in the passenger compartment of the vehicle.
