Vehicle was purchased new on 5/10/2007. On 7/20/2007 while parked in the driveway the vehicle caught fire. The fire dept. And police dept. At the scene at the time of the fire made reports stating the fire started inside the cab of the vehicle, most probably at the left rear corner of the cab. Most probably caused by an electrical malfunction. There was some trash located in the bed of the truck which after the rear window blew out, caught fire and caused damage to the bed area as well. Over $7000. 00 damage done to the inside of the cab. And to the box of the truck. This is what the insurance CO paid to repair the truck. When the dealership was called and the fire was reported to them. Their reply"call your insurance company" when explained that the fire dept and the police dept reports stated the fire started in the cab of the truck, and most probably an electrical malfunction, their reply again "call your insurance company" the insurance company repaired the body and interior damage caused by the fire, and is in subugation with Chevrolet to recoup their losses. As yet Chevrolet has done nothing to correct the electrical problem, and even denies there is an electrical malfunction. On 12/11/2007 at approx 8:15 am I observed that the truck after being parked overnight in the driveway. And covered with snow as there was about 7" of snow fall over night, the rear window was completely defrosted. The temperature at that time was 28 deg. F. There has been no contact from Chevrolet to me since the better business bureau auto line program will not arbitrate because there is property damage .

While parked in the drivway, for over 48 hrs. The achecrolet silverado pickuo caught fire causing over $7800. 00 damage to the vehicle, and $2200. 00 damage to the contents inside the vehicle. Not being at home at the time of the fire, I was informed by the fire dept. That the fireoriginated inside the cab of the truck, probably rear window defroster area, and was most probably an electrical malfunction. When I contacted the chev. Dealership. To report the incident, their reply to me was "call your insurance company" this vehicle was purchased new on 5/10/2007. Repeated comunications with gm, and Chevrolet division resulted in its denial of responsibilty, I had the vehicle repaired at a private repair shop. Subsiquent incidents have occured, the following winter, where the rear window defroster has gone on without the truck running, and the keys removed. Several complaints were made to the dealership about this problem. Their findings were they could not find a problem. My insurance company has an ongoing law suit against gm, as of yet to no avail, and I am still driving a defective vehicle. I have disconnected the wire to the rear window defroster as I donot want another fire. I do have the fire dept, and sheriff's dept reports on the fire, plus photos of the vehicle immediatly after the fire.

Brake and power steering failure while driving. No indicator lights, no warnings. Unable to stop or steer vehicle weighing over 6000 lbs.
