I have been having electrical issues with my dash instruments. Sporadic gauges flickering and warning lights staying on constant. Yesterday having the same issues then the truck would not start. Called OnStar to try and get diagnostic but they needed the vehicle running. Tried battery disconnect and still would not start. After 15min it started but A/C stopped working. Now What???? Should we be notified of the recalls or should we continue just think that its not life threatening and it will be O.K.
