3 Equipment problem of the 1999 Oldsmobile Bravada

Failure Date: 03/05/2018

As I was on the way home from work driving on a city street and I came to a stop I downed my windows. I realized a burning smell. A little later, as I pulled up to my house the smell seemed to had gotten worse and I got out of the car and upped my hood. There had seem to be oil leakage but I'm not sure it was late. I'm not a mechanic but I kind of know a bit. From my inspection I may have oil leaking on a hot exhaust manifold. The burning smell is not the strongest but its sensible. I am very scared to drive my vehicle and I hope for it not to catch fire. I service my vehicle for regular oil changes and things and I don't understand the issue. May it be my valve cover gasket? I'm scared for my life to drive my nieces to school now. Unfortunately, they have been catching the carta bus. It hurts my heart I have this problem with such a reliable gm car. Please help. I'm terrified it may even catch fire in the driveway!.

4 Equipment problem of the 2002 Oldsmobile Bravada

Failure Date: 01/05/2018

Passenger seat caught on fire from seat heater while car was off and no one in it. The seat heater had not been used for days. My car was parked after going to the store about 3pm. Found the next morning about 10;30 am . Gm denied my claim. Safety issue,definitely a manufactured defect ,there should be a recall. Whole inside of the car is trashed . The fire obviously started from the seat must have been a blaze the headliner and visor also burnt. Must have extinguished itself due to lack of oxygen. I contacted gm they never sent anyone to look at it. I emailed them photos and through that they are denying that it is a defect or a safety issue. Through research I have found I am not the only person this has happened to and yet there is still not a recall for this.
