problem #1

Jun 202003

Sierra 3500 4WD 8-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 500 miles
I have had electrical problems with this truck since purchased. It has been in the service center 3 different times with no resolution. Now the engine will not turn over and when attempting to use booster cables to start the cables began to smoke and the copper wires melted. In an attempt to remove the cables before the other car ignited I was burned. Additionally the truck keys were not in the on position. That is I had not attempted to start the vehicle yet.
