2005 Chevrolet SILVERADO 1500 Electrical System Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1177968
Internal NHTSA #	10712446
Manufacurer	General Motors LLC
Brand	CHEVROLET
Model	SILVERADO 1500
Model Year	2005
File date	10/04/15
Component	ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Noticed upper brake light on while parked in driveway. Truck wouldn't start. Truck wouldn't accept an extended jump. Truck towed. Mechanic found the under dash fuse box melted in two different places. Truck needed new fuse box. Plugs and interior wiring harness. No modifications to the electrical system had been made to this vehicle. Parts have been saved. $1,745. 00 to fix. I see many reports of electrical fires in gm, chevy products on the web with no apparent action to force a fix. Vehicles are being destroyed, severely damaged, people and property endangered because they are apparently using cheap, inferior grade products. People would not mind paying a few dollars more to ensure they won't die in a fire or have their house burn down. I'm not a fan of government regulations but if these company's won't voluntarily do the right thing perhaps the government has to mandate specific gauge wiring and contacts. Thanks
