While driving, heavy smoke came from dash. I pulled off to the side of the road. When I looked under the dash I could see wires melted together coming from the brake light sending unit. It melted up into the main wire harness. I unplugged the wires, burning my hand. If I would not of, I believe the truck would have caught on fire!

Front end has been vibrating since purchase of vehicle, dealer has replaced front end twice/ dashboard twice, and transfer case 3 times. Went to different dealers 11 times. Could not remedy problems. Chevrolet first agreed to buy vehicle back, then changed mind. Independent mechanic felt that problem had to do with driveline. Vehicle was at dealer 85 days first year. Please add additional information.

Chasis / rear main-has and does have a loud klunking noise on take off and slow acceleration.I have taken it (the truck) to the dealership for repair which did not fix the problem. The second problem with the instrument panel - the glass cover to the istrument cluster cracked. The third problem with the console - the key which was issued with truck would not unlock center console lid, but would unlock glove box, had to bust lid open to gain access.
