2017 Silverado Truck Fire

My first thought was air flow impeded...although that goes with older dirty trucks.

I then look at photo at a wreath in front of the grill.

cooling fan... wreath in front of grille...

no. that couldn't be it.

real pine with some natural alkaline , and an engine that breathes.

if that engine is aluminum, some old subaru lessons are going to emerge in these trucks. I'll stand back and zip my lips.

The dealership and GM will try and blame anything they can not to cover something.

Sounds like a shady dealership trying to wash their hands of it, not GM. Though I will agree that ALL auto manufacturers will try to deflect responsibility for issues with their vehicles. GM, Ford, Toyota, Honda, etc. They all do it.

Wow. Sorry to hear about this horrible experience.

Did you put out the fire by any chance? I'm almost thinking about letting a vehicle burn to the ground if this unfortunate problem happens.

I have a good friend that wrecked his F350 with 28000.00 in damages. They didn't total it as well, did a frame swap and all repairs the best they could. He traded it in due to not being reliable on a 16' F350. It was always something causing the truck to be parked on the side of the road.

Hopefully you get this resolved.

I could be way off here but wouldn't this fall under the Lemon Law with being out of service for so long? If so that would help you out a TON but I'm guessing not or someone would have pointed this out already.

Post on as many forums as possible. I think gm reps hang around some of them and may help. Your best bye may be to fix out of pocket so te title stays clean and sell it then go spend your many with another company
