5 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 05/15/2015

While driving the car on the highway it suddenly started to smoke. We had pulled over to see what was going on and once we got out of the car to see the car was already on fire under the hood by the passengers side. The flames were already coming out of under the car by the front passengers side tire. Once we saw the fire we ran away from the car, but we have no idea why the fire started in the first place since we had driven it hours before and farther then where we were when the fire had occurred.

6 Equipment problem

There is a problem with the ignition in my 2002 GMC Envoy when the vehicle is on the key comes out of the ignition and it is not suppose to. I noticed that gm has the problem online and found out the hard way that my vehicle has this problem but gm has not put the 2002 GMC Envoy on that recall list at all and I have already talked to them about it and they deny it I have the evnoy that the recals are on. All I get is the run around by gm about the recalls and they want me to pay for their mistakes. The Envoy has 4+ other recall items as well the gm company don't want to take responseability for what they let happen and they need to be held liable for what is going on with the vehicles they made.
