general problems of the 2007 Chevrolet Silverado 2500

When parked on a gravel driveway the truck caught on fire in the engine compartment. The truck was in a rural area and the fire department took some time to arrive. The truck was a total loss. The truck had been driven approximetly 120 miles that day without incident. The truck had been parked appoximatly 1 1/2 hours before it self ignighted.

Towing my 12000lb. 5th wheel on interstate 95 just south of palm coast FL. I puller over to check the brakes on the 5th wheel. The brake pedal went to the floor, because the brake line had rusted through. The truck has never been in an snow. Had to flat-bed truck to local chevy dealer. They replaced two lines. On may 1, 2014, the other remaining lines ruster through and the truck had to be towed to the dealer again. No warning, either time. Never had a brake line rust through. Truck only had 67,000 miles on it. Luckily, it didn't quit towing 12000 ibs. Down the expressway. . . Updated 06/26/14.

When are we going to address the situation of : I'm doing 80 mph in the left lane on the interstate, and a semi truck doin 65 gets in my lane because there is a car on the side of the road. Which is more dangerous?.

1. Returning home from a trip towing a trailer. 2. Gm oem tow receiver failed and bent "upwards" damaging/ruining vehicle towing equipment rendering it unusable. 3. Filing this report and taking the vehicle back to the dealer resulting in no action.
