Consumer Description

I BOUGHT A NEW 2004 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN 1500 LS IN EARLY SEPTEMBER 2005. ONE EVENING I WENT TO A RESTAURANT TO EAT, WENT INSIDE AND WAS SEATED. MAYBE 5 MINUTES PASSED, COULD HAVE BEEN LESS. THE OWNER BEGAN YELLING THAT A VEHICLE IN THE LOT WAS ON FIRE. I LOOKED OUT THE WINDOW AND SAW WHAT I THOUGHT WAS A CAR NEXT TO MINE BELLOWING SMOKE. I RAN OUTSIDE TO MOVE MY 2004 SUBURBAN AWAY FROM THE BURNING CAR AND TO MY AMAZEMENT DISCOVERED IT WAS MY SUBURBAN! THERE WAS ABSOLUTELY NO PRIOR INDICATION OF ANYTHING WRONG SUCH AS AN OVER-HEATED ENGINE. NO INDICATION OF ANY MALFUNCTION WHATSOEVER. THE ENGINE WAS COMPLETELY OFF WHEN THIS FIRE STARTED. *TR
