1 Automatic Transmission problem

Failure Date: 03/06/2008

07 Cadillac Cts was driven and parked. I minute later it was on fire, started on top of transmission in interior. Extinguished in another 2 minutes but damage exceeded $20,000. Gm product liability and esis dragging feet on warranty claim or relief for > 2 months, insurance says cigarette (don't smoke) dealer wont do anything for fire event. Cause is defective catalytic cnvtr/transmission but no help from gm, dealer, warranty, I've offered photos fire report, etc. Insurance wants to settle quick and salvage. I need to keep for gm evaluation for safety defect-they aren't very interested or helpful. No car, no warranty relief but luckily no injury. Can gm be pressed to resolve liability to the owner in a timely manner?, do they even care if I ignore insurance pressure to keep car available to gm inspect for root cause? thank you.
