NHTSA complaint: 2008 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 — ENGINE
2008 CHEVY SILVERADO 1500 FIRE ON 11/20/20 I WAS DRIVING 3 MILES TO MY FRIENDS HOUSE AND AS SOON AS I PULLED UP, I SMELT FIRE. I GOT OUT TO FIND OUT THAT MY PASSENGER HEADLIGHT AND EVERYTHING UNDER THE HOOD WAS ON FIRE!! I TRIED TO LIFT THE HOOD BUT THAT WAS TOO HOT TO DO SO, AND I RAN INTO MY GIRLFRIENDS HOUSE SCREAMING FOR A FIRE EXTINGUISHER!! AS I WAS RUNNING BACK TO REMOVE AS MUCH AS I COULD OUT OF THE TRUCK HER HUSBAND CAME OUT WITH THE FIRE EXTINGUISHER AND SHE CAME WITH THE HOSE. I HAD MY BRIEFCASE, PURSE, PORTABLE BOOM BOX AND STARTED RUNNING AS FAST AS I COULD BECAUSE I THOUGHT IT WAS GOING TO BLOW UP, AND TRIPPED OVER THE CURB AND LANDED FACE FIRST IN THE DIRT. NOW I CAN BARELY MOVE MY NECK, MY BACK IS IN SEVERE PAIN, AND MY RIBS HURT IMMENSELY. AS I SURVIVED THIS LIFE THREATENING ORDEAL, I STARTED DOING BACKGROUND CHECKS ON THIS TYPE OF VEHICLE AND 124 DEATHS HAVE OCCURRED BECAUSE OF THIS GM PROBLEM. HOW IS THIS NOT A CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT?!!
