Consumer Description

ON JANUARY 5, 2008 I ARRIVED HOME AT 11:30 PM AND PARKED MY TRUCK IN THE GARAGE ATTACHED TO MY HOUSE. I WENT TO BED AND AT AROUND 2:00 AM I SMELT SMOKE. I WALKED THROUGH THE HOUSE CHECKING ROOMS, WHEN I GOT TO THE SCREEN DOOR TO THE GARAGE THE HANDLE WAS HOT. I THEN WENT OUT MY FRONT DOOR AND CALLED 911. THE TRUCK WAS A LOSS AND PART OF MY GARAGE. IN LESS THEN 11 MONTHS THIS IS THE 2ND CHEVROLET/SILVERADO THAT I HAVE OWNED THAT HAS BURNT. *TR
