Please restore the recall. Thank you.

3 Seats problem

Failure Date: 10/02/2009

2005 Yukon denali heated seat caught fire but did not smoke it burnt into tempurpedic pillow in a plastic bag up to 15 hours causing illness and a month of bedrest and financial ruin for a mother of 4 who still has a rental and unable to go get car that is still not fixed. We were on our way to a funeral in newport beach CA from or. Gm would not fix my car or allow it to be so until an investigation due to it being a thermal event and insurance said not to move due to spoilation. I called south coast who said the insurance was once again out for pictures today November 11th and the incident happened October 2nd. I am afraid of the long term damage breathing toxic fumes will have on my 15 year old. You have nothing listed under heated seats please forward cases.
