THERE WERE NO EVENTS LEADING UP TO THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT FIRE ON MAY 29TH AT ABOUT 10:00PM. EXCEPT THAT PRIOR TO THE INCIDENT WHENEVER THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN THERE WAS A BURNING ODOR INSIDE THE VEHICLE. WE HAD A RECALL DONE ON THE VEHICLE THAT WE THOUGHT WOULD CORRECT THE BURNING ODOR BUT IT HOWEVER DIDN'T FIX THAT. THE RECALL NUMBER WAS 09047. WE HAD A SMALL ENGINE COMPARTMENT FIRE IN MAY OF 2007 BUT THERE WASN'T ANY DAMAGE. HOWEVER, WITH THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT FIRE OR THERMAL EVENT AS GM CALLS IT THERE WAS MAJOR DAMAGE TOTALING THE VEHICLE AS WHEN THE OIL DRIPS DOWN ON TO THE HOT EXHAUST MANIFOLD THERE WAS NO WHERE FOR THE OIL TO DRIP DOWN TO THE GROUND SO THEREFORE IT RESULTED IN A FIRE. THE RECALL #09047 DID NOTHING TO SOLVE THE BURNING ODOR SMELL OR AN ENGINE COMPARTMENT FIRE. THE VEHICLE DID HAVE SMALL AMOUNTS OF SMOKE THAT WOULD COME OUT OF THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT WHEN IT WAS DRIVEN STARTING 6 MONTHS PRIOR TO THE FINAL ENGINE COMPARTMENT FIRE ON JUNE 29, 2009. THEN AFTER THE RECALL WAS DONE WAS WHEN WE STARTED NOTICING THE BURNING ODOR OR SMELL WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN. *TR
