THIS POST IS ABOUT MAKING THE PUBLIC AWARE OF A POTENTIAL PROBLEM. ALTHOUGH THE MANUFACTURER DID NOT STEP UP AND DO THE RIGHT THING, I'M CONCERNED OTHERS MAY HAVE DEALT WITH THIS PROBLEM OR IT MAY HAPPEN IN THE FUTURE. ON AUGUST 29, 2018, MY TRUCK WAS PARKED ON MY DRIVEWAY BY 4PM AFTER RUNNING ERRANDS FOR A COUPLE OF HOURS. AT 6PM MY HUSBAND WENT OUT TO GET SOMETHING OUT OF IT AND SAW IT HAD CAUGHT ON FIRE. NOTHING WAS LEFT PLUGGED IN AND THERE WAS NOTHING FLAMMABLE IN THE TRUCK. THE FIRE DEPT WAS CALLED AND UPON INSPECTION STATED THE FIRE HAD STARTED IN THE CENTER CONSOLE AND SPREAD TO THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. THE CAUSE OF THE FIRE LOOK TO BE WIRING THAT OVERHEATED INSIDE THE CONSOLE WHERE THE WIRING CONNECTED TO 2 USB PORTS. GM INSPECTED THE DAMAGE AND FOUND THERE WAS NOT A MANUFACTURER DEFECT AND THE CAUSE OF THE FIRE WAS FROM AN EXTERNAL SOURCE. IRONICALLY, THEIR 3RD PARTY "EXPERT" FIRE INVESTIGATOR WAS NOT AWARE THERE WAS A WIRING HARNESS LOCATED BEHIND THE USB PORTS AND HAD TO BE SHOWN THEIR LOCATION. MY INSURANCE COMPANY IS NOW INVESTIGATING THE INCIDENT. I'M ASKING THEM TO LOOK INTO THE 12V POWER OUTLET POSSIBLY OVERHEATING AS I KNOW OF SOMEONE WHO HAD THEIRS OVERHEAT IN THEIR 2018 CHEVY SILVERADO. THE DAY AFTER THE FIRE I SENT PHOTOS TO THEM AND THEY COULD NOT BELIEVE THE DAMAGE. WHEN I TOLD THEM THE OUTCOME OF GM'S INVESTIGATION THEY WERE DUMBFOUNDED. I'M FORTUNATE NO ONE WAS HURT, BUT AM AFRAID THIS MAY HAPPEN TO SOMEONE ELSE. I MADE A 40K
