Consumer Description

MY 2000 TAHOE CAUGHT A FIRE - IT STARTED CRANKING BY ITSELF W/O THE KEYS IN IT AND THEN FLAMES STARTED SHOOTING OUT OF THE DRIVERS SIDE OF THE SUV AND BURNT THAT SIDE OF THE DASHBOARD AND BUSTED THE WINDSHIELD. I WAS ABLE TO PUT THE FIRE OUT WITH 2 FIRE EXT. AND A WATER HOSE. I HAD TO JERK THE CABLES FROM THE BATTERY TO GET IT TO QUIT CRANKING. AND IF YOU CONNECT THEM BACK IT WILL START CRANKING AGAIN W/O THE KEYS. I WAS NOT HAVING ANY PROBLEMS WITH IT AND I DON'T KNOW HOW IT COULD START BY ITSELF W/O KEYS OR ANYONE IN THE SUV. I ASKED GM TO ASSIST ME AND THEY STATED THAT THE STATUTE OF REPOSE IN KY IS EIGHT YEARS FROM THE ORIGINAL PURCHASE AND THEY WILL NOT ASSIST ME. I COULD UNDERSTAND THAT BUT NOT SOMETHING LIKE THIS WHEN A VEHICLE STARTS ON ITS OWN AND BURNS - PLEASE HELP ME. THANKS *TR
