Consumer Description

AFTER ABOUT 5-10 MINUTES OF DRIVING THERE WAS A 'BURNING PLASTIC' SMELL AND ABOUT 1-2 MINUTES AFTER THAT A LOUD BANG (ALMOST LIKE A GUNSHOT) AFTER PULLING OVER, I LOOKED AROUND TO FIND THE LEFT SIDE OF THE BACK WINDOW WAS BLOWN OUT. LONG STORY SHORT, I CALLED THE DEALER TO SET UP SERVICE AND WAS TOLD THEY PERFORMED THE RECALL FIX FOR THIS PROBLEM ON MY GMC.....I DON'T THINK IT WAS EITHER DONE OR THE FIX DIDN'T SOLVE IT. I CAN PROVIDE PICTURES TOMORROW.....AND I WAS DRIVING DOWN A CITY STREET AND IN MOTION - THE STREET WAS NOT BUMPY, IN FACT IT WAS SNOW COVERED. I THINK THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A FIRE HAZARD JUDGING BY THE HORRIFIC SMELL.
