on september 3rd i was driving home from work, with both windows down in my 2006 GMC SIERRA 2500hd ext cab, and i noticed a smell of something wasnt sure what at that point, until i seen smoke coming from in between my dash and windshield on the passenger side, so i turned right on the next rd,and when i slowed down the inside of the my truck filled with smoke, so i pulled over shut the engine off i got out went to the passenger side to find the fuse panel, and did not see it, so i opened the glove compartment where the smoke was coming from and i seen wires burning underneath it, then within seconds the black plastic ductwork was melting on to my floor board,so i dialed 911 in the mean time, i got some of my stuff out of it, but did not get even close to what i needed out, the fire got so hot, so fast i had to get away. today is sept. 18 2009 GM said they would contact me in 7-10 bussiness days, and sept 22 2009 will b day 10 after looking on the internet at similar cases and seeing what GM is not doing, is very frustrating so if they dont do anything for there 2006 GMC 2500hd that caught on fire and is still under warranty then i think we should file a class action lawsuit against GM.

I was in a small accident in May 2008. My truck caught fire and burnt to the ground. The accident was very minor, so truck had no reason to have caught fire. My insurance company nor GMC wanted anything to do with finding out why.I am just wondering if anyone else has had a problem with fires in these trucks.

After an approximate 5 mile ride to our friends house across town, the 2007 GMC Sierra 1500 was parked in front of the house and turned off. No warning lights came on at all. OnStar also did not read any negative diagnostics on the truck.

Whithin 3 minutes of parking the truck it started to smoke that very quickly turned to fire. 911 was called and the local firedepartments came to extinquish the fire. The entire front of the truck was engulfed in flames, again within only minutes.

On April 4, 2009 my 2002 Dodge Ram 1500 burned in my driveway. There was no indication there was a problem and the truck cab completely burned out within 15 minutes after I had returned home from a 7 km trip. It seemed to have started to burn about 15 minutes after I exited the vehicle. I was parked close to my house and garage. I am waiting to see if Transport Canada will come and investigate. I am worried that the other Dodge trucks I own for my business may have a similar fate. This is an extreme safety issue.

Loss of vehicle.

My 2001 GMC Yukon XL burst into flames today while I was driving on the highway with no cause or signal. While driving we saw smoke and then flames shot out from under the car giving us 20 seconds to exscape death.

My car burned to the ground causing me to lose all of my belongings (we were on our way to vacation for spring break) including the car, etc.
