Curtis of Huntingtown, MD November 17, 2009 2000 Dakota, Quad Cab, 67,000 miles. 11/14/09 approx. 1:30 am fire started in engine compartment. Reason: Not known. Still being investigated by insurance and fire dept. Total loss expected. Vehicle had not been started in 6 days. Will not be able to replace vehicle for insurance will pay. Possible cost to me about 20,000. Not good! scott of monroe center, IL September 19, 2009 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. Chrystal of garner, NC September 18, 2009 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. Tricia of Orange, TX June 7, 2009 rear of 2006 chevy silverdo got stuck and then ignited dry grass under truck on june 6 2009 now my truck is completely burned up. this was not a good experience. John of cumming, IA June 3, 2009 Bought a new 2001 Grand Prix GT on Nov.5th of 2007 my wife came home, got out of the car and came in the house.

Amy of Bloomsburg, PA May 12, 2009 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.
