Numerous intermittent electrical problems. February 2000, the air-bag light indicator on the instrument panel would stay on after starting, but only intermittently. Took it in for service on 2/22/00 and they cleaned connections to driver side impact air-bag. Problem went away until July 2001. Again instrument panel air-bag light would intermittently stay on. May 2000 - doors would lock and unlock continually and locks would not work with remote or key while this is happening. Interior lights would flash on and off. I took the vehicle to a Chevy service center on 5/11/00 & 5/16/00 and both times they could not reproduce error / failure and nothing was done. After a few weeks the door and interior lights problem stopped.January 2002 instrument panel ABS & tcs (traction control system) lights will come on and stay on after vehicle has been driven for 5 minutes or so, but not on every trip only intermittently. Also when applying the brakes the emergency flasher / turn signal lights will come on. Vehicle has 43K miles and is no longer under warranty, but problems started 1 year (13,000 miles) after purchase.
While driving there was an electrical fire behind the instrument panel. Driver was able to exit safely. Fire was put on by the owner. Fire department did respond. Vehicle will be towed to the dealership. Not sure if vehicle will be totalled.
