Consumer Description

MY TAHOE CAUGHT FIRE INSIDE THE DRIVER SIDE DASH. IT WAS PARKED, NO ONE HAD DRIVEN IT THAT DAY. I PUT IN A CLAIM WITH GM (CLAIM #SR 8-2955875514) AND IT WAS DENIED AS THEY SAID THERE ARE NO RECALLS FOR MY TAHOE. THIS FIRE STARTED OUT OF NO WHERE. THANK GOODNESS OUR NEIGHBOR CAME BANGING AT THE DOOR TO LET US KNOW THAT OUR TAHOE WAS ON FIRE. WE WEREN'T HOME AT THE TIME BUT MY SON WAS, WE ARRIVED TO FIND HIM WITH THE WATER HOSE EXTINGUISHING THE FLAMES THAT WERE COMING FROM INSIDE THE VEHICLE. I SENT THE PICS TO GM AND THEY JUST DENIED IT WITH NO OTHER EXPLANATION OTHER THAN THERE WAS NO CURRENT RECALL. THEY DIDN'T EVEN TELL ME WHY THE FIRE STARTED NO ONE CAME OUT TO SEE THE VEHICLE.
