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.
