Consumer Description
I WENT TO WORK THIS MORNING AND MY 2004 GMC CANYON TRUCK WAS RUNNING FINE, ABOUT 2 HOURS LATER I RAN AN ERRAND, STILL NO ISSUES WITH THE TRUCK. AROUND 2:00PM I WENT TO RUN ANOTHER ERRAND AND SMELT SOMETHING LIKE BURNING PLASTIC, I OPENED MY TRUCK TO FIND THAT MY FRONT PASSENGER SIDE DOOR WAS SMOLDERING. THE TRUCK WAS FULL OF SMOKE AND THERE IS NOW A HOLE IN THE SIDE OF MY DOOR FROM WHERE THE PLASTIC MELTED! I HAVE NO IDEA HOW THIS COULD HAVE HAPPENED, BUT THIS IS MY ONLY SOURCE OF TRANSPORTATION AND I OFTEN TAKE MY GRANDDAUGHTERS ON TRIPS WITH ME. I PLAN TO TAKE IT TO A GMC DEALERSHIP AND HAVE THEM LOOK AT IT SO MAYBE THEY CAN TELL ME WHAT CAUSED THIS PROBLEM. ALSO, THE BACK SEATS IN THIS TRUCK BLOCK A LOT OF THE VIEW OUT OF THE REAR WINDOW CAUSING MAJOR BLIND SPOTS. SINCE I HAVE ONLY HAD THIS TRUCK ABOUT 2 MONTHS I PLAN TO ADDRESS THESE ISSUES AND SELL THE DARN TRUCK! *TR
