“Owner of both a 2017 duramax and a tahoe from new. Duramax had just turned 21,000 miles this winter. Returned from fishing sunday night and plugged the truck into a heavy guage extension cord. My family and I were woken at 3am early january to a vehicle alarm. Turns out the truck had started fire. Luckly the alarm was audible long enough to wake us. By the time I had reached the keys, it had stopped. A peek out the window showed a culprit I hadn't anticipated. Inspectors found the source in the location of the block heater. No wiring chared beyond the front of the truck. …”
NHTSA complaint #11182573, filed 2019-02, 21,000 miles“Just received a letter from general motors with a page that is to be inserted into my owners manual. The issue it purports to solve is that the manual states that if this truck has forward collision alert, it also has forward automatic braking & intelligent brake assist. That is incorrect & this alert is to correct that error. But, the manual insert provided is nonsense. It has no page number to tell us where to insert the new page; there are 2 sections relating to this in the manual. The insert also says it only applies to 1500 series trucks. Mine is a 2500 series. So why send this. …”
