Consumer Description
Sitting at a traffic light, I could smell smoke. My Entertainment dispatch was showing a Green lightening bolt, and I knew that my phone didnt work on the center console charging pad. I lifted up the center console pad, and it was completely full of smoke. It appears that a bad design by GM has the wire running up to the wireless charging pad, in the same path as the lid hinge, and it appears that over time, the hinge has worn away all of the protective material on the wiring harness. The wiring harness is burned and charred for as long as the eye can see. Unsure what has been affected by this yet, as it goes into the shop tomorrow.
