ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

the vehicle's engine compartment caught on fire following going through a car wash. i stopped after pulling across the street and noticed false fault indications on the display, followed by smoke blowing from the heater vents. i pulled into a parking space, raised the hood, and saw flames coming from the left rear of the engine compartment as you face the vehicle. i borrowed a fire extinguisher from a store and put the fire out. i have received little information from gm in 2 1/2 months and nothing indicates to me they have taken this engine compartment fire seriously. had this occurred at speed, in traffic, etc. it would have created a very dangerous situation not only for myself but others in the area.

STEERING

i drive a 2013 chevy silverado 3500hd, diesel. i have had two incidents. the first about a month or two ago, turning sharply as i was backing out of the driveway, the power steering seemed to quit functioning making it very difficult to turn the wheel. the second time was last week while pulling into a parking stall at a market. the same thing happened. i took the truck into the local chevy dealer today to have this checked out, but they were not able to find anything. i tow a 5th wheel trailer about once a month and am concerned that the steering may freeze up at higher speeds while traveling.

STEERING

i drive a 2013 chevy siverodo 3500hd, diesel. i have had several incidents. the first about a year ago, turning sharply as i was backing out of the driveway, the power steering seemed to quit functioning making it very difficult to turn the wheel. the second time was shortly after while pulling into a parking stall at a market. the same thing happened.it has happened countless times since then. i took the truck into the local chevy dealer to have this checked out, but they were not able to find anything. i tow a 5th wheel trailer most of the time and am concerned that the steering may freeze up at higher speeds while traveling. it seems to occur at lower speeds like the power steering pump has issues.
