During the last week of May 2019 radio turning on/off intermittently - thought it was issue with radio station, but on-line Chevy forums indicate it is a sign of larger electrical issues. June 1, 2019, entering vehicle after dinner out, interior lights were flickering; driving at highway speed at night with ac & cruise control on there was a sudden noxious odor irritating to eyes, nose, and throat (2 people ill); headlights flickering; opened windows to ventilate; made it home (~12 miles); all lights - exterior and interior - still flickering upon arrival home; still a strong noxious odor - stronger on interior driver side of vehicle; internet search of symptoms indicated driver visor might be extremely hot - went out to check and it was very hot - even after sitting while we did internet search; further internet search indicates many Chevy Captiva owners complaining of similar problems; forums indicate known battery cables voltage drop issue leading to expensive repairs (~$1000) not covered under recall, so we disconnected battery overnight until we could check things in the daylight. 6/2/19 - after leaving vehicle battery disconnected overnight, reconnected and driver visor immediately got warm to touch - car not even cranked, just sitting in the shady driveway with the battery connected. Shifted visor down and there was a loud pop/click noise. Visor would not fully return to stowed position. Disconnected battery again. Not a safe situation with overheating visor, noxious fumes, and fluttering lights. Chevy forums indicate this has been a know issue since 2012, but dealerships will only assist while car is still in original purchase warranty period. Forums indicate this was a recall in europe/great britain, but not here in usa. Ridiculous. An american company not taking care of its american customers... for years... multiple year models reporting same issues.

While driving, the dash board lights will come on from time to time. The signal light inside the car may show, but not indicated outside. Once in a while the cabin light flutter, dim and then return to full brightness. The radio may stop working and " ting, ting" sound may come on with the dash board panel lights illuminated momentarily. This car was recently serviced by the dealer and I have reported on this problem before. Since it occurs very often, I have indicated the date of the last occurrence. Thanks
