While driving on the highway, vehicle filled with smoke accompanied by a strong burning odor. At the same time the HVAC blower stopped functioning and the windshield fogged up. After stopping the vehicle, burned wires and melted harness connectors where found at the HVAC blower the HVAC blower motor overheated due to a short caused by repeated water intrusion from defective and missing body seams along the roof, cowl, and numerous other locations. Safety belt warning chimes repeatedly for no apparent reason, many other electronic components intermittently fail or operate erratically when it rains or snows. Vehicle floor fills with water frequently. Mold has started growing under carpet. Repeated issues from date of purchase, issues continue to be unresolved, dealership has been unable to identify all leak sources to stop water intrusion.

Bad paint, extremely soft, chips easily. Rear of fenders and tailgate showed chips after 1500 miles, now front of rear fenders are chipped as well as numerous places on sides and front of vehicle. Dealer told me it was due to dust storm. My 2003 Silverado has paint that looks newer than my 2016 and is parked in the same location.
