Tl- the contact owns a 2010 GMC Sierra. The contact stated that shortly after parking, the vehicle caught fire. A fire report was filed and no injuries were sustained. The vehicle was towed back to the contact¿s residence. The vehicle was deemed destroyed. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 50,000. Pam.
On or about that date, driving about 25 miles on rural roads at speeds from 45 to 55 mph, the dampness in the air caused condensation haze to form on the inside of the window. I turned on the defrosters which cleared off the drivers side window so I could see but the passengers side never cleared and I had 0 visibility to anything on the right hand side of the road or pulling out from driveways or roads on the right hand side. I took it to the dealer to get repaired to be told gm had a service bulletin on this that showed them how to reprogram the system to correct this issue. Also this vehicle is equipped with a rear camera system that is intermittent in its operation, sometimes blurred images or sometimes blank completely. The dealer disconnected and reconnected the camera systems thinking the connection might have an issue by being contaminated,oxidized, or loss. Not sure if related but the dealership has replaced my right rear speaker several times claiming that the speaker is seeing shorts and/or higher power or shorting internally. Being this is multiple times (3 or 4 times for this same repair) what other electrical system problems will I be seeing and will any of these lead to fires of additional system damage. Even with these know issues and service bulletins issued on the blower system as documented on the repair invoice, while knowing that loss of vision through the window is possible, gm has not initiate any campaign to proactively fix this. Only after the problem occurs and if the person is lucky to avoid accidents will they address this when you come into complain about, but by that time they hope it is out of warranty so they can charge you. After all it is unsafe to drive the vehicle without this system working properly so people will pay to get this fixed.
30 minutes after my wife parked our 2010 GMC Sierra 1500 pick-up in our detached garage, we heard a boom and I ran outside to see the GMC cab and hood on fire. I immediately thought, my god my wife was just in there and there is no way she could have survived. I proceeded to call 911 and all the neighbers to evacuate their homes because we live in a very wooded area and I thought the fire would spread. It burned the GMC, my suburban, our pontoon boat, our sons chevy z-71 pick-up and the garage to the ground.
Need to get driver's seat belt and passenger door lock fixed under warranty. A bad employee at the dealer in July 2010 committed identity theft and open accounts under a different name "frank" fankhauser. Dealer put me on a gm wide blacklist and so frustrating. Have reported to police, but just want to go to another GMC dealer to have fixed. Gm customer service has not helped and keeps calling the first dealer to request their permission and it has been denied. Dealer that committed id theft: ferguson GMC broken arrow, ok 74011 I really like the pickup, but unfair to hold up warranty/safety repairs because of the id theft.
