Today, at 1:00 pm, a sunny day @ 80 degrees, I entered the truck and shut the door. As I did so, the rear door drivers side window shattered after bulging outward as witnessed by my neighbor. The minute I shut the door the window bulged outward and shattered! I called the dealer and asked if it was covered, as it only had a thousand miles on it and they haven't called back so I guess not. Cost of a new window is 82 bucks on ebay! all the warranties I bought with the car do not cover the side or back windows. I wonder if they should cover this issue, but I highly suggest all new truck owners of Chevy Silverado keep the window open a crack after buying a visor. Note: I just got a call back from the dealer and they want the window peeves for an investigation. I swept them up and put them in the trash! oops! I will bring them up anyway and take it from there.

Was towing a trailer, stopped and filled up with gas. As leaving the gas station, dash lights dimmed and brightened on their own, then washer pump started squirting fluid without wiper blades moving. Washer pump continued squirting till the reservoir was empty and burned the pump. Afterwards, all interior lights stopped working, except for the dash lights. Also, lost all parking, head lamps, turn signal and brake lights on the 2014 Silverado 1500, except for high mount stop lamp, which was stuck on bright, as if brake pedal was depressed. Upon reading owners manual, there is a reference to loosing lights under "electrical overload". all electronics being used was factory installed, other than the trailer that was being pulled. Upon taking it to the dealership for repair, they could not determine what caused the issue. They replaced a body control module. One week after getting the truck back from the dealership, the dash lights have dimmed and brightened on their own again, therefore, I am afraid to hook my trailer back up in fear of loosing all my lights again, or worse, driving and all of the sudden, washer pump starts squirting fluid and getting into an accident. After talking to GM directly, they cannot provide an answer to what happened or why they would reference the "loosing lights under electrical overload" in the owners manual, because of a known defect or issue that would hinder their profits.
