Vehicle door would not open with Key Fob. All the lights started flashing with a clicking sound coming from the dashboard area. The Instrument Cluster goes blank. Service Trailer Brake Message keeps going off and on with no trailer connected. Technician Diagnosed Electrical Fault Per TSB 18-NA-161. The negative battery cable showed excessive voltage drop as a fault. The Technician inspected ground #218 which was identified in the TSB as having potential for pinch under the dashboard insulation. The Technician was able to use a scope and found it to be pinched as described in the bulletin. All the issued were resolved. The electrical conditions happened on more than one occasion. This electrical problem could have happened while I was underway and is a safety issue. Chevrolet is aware of the condition and made no effort to correct the problem placing me in a posittion to be injured or killed. Also the financial impact of having to pay more than $1200 for repairs that could have been corrected by General Motors. I am not the only one having this problem.
