New, 6 month old vehicle caught fire while in a parking lot. Was in parking lot for approx 1 1/2-2 hrs before fire, windows up, doors locked. Insurance appraiser and fire marshal says electrical fire, accidental. Fire marshal says driver's seat control, insurance says driver's door or window control. Never heard what GM says caused by. GM took no responsibility - insurance had to pay off. Was reported to fire dept, fire marshal investigated. GM send someone to investigate about 2-3 weeks later. I met him at dealership. He pulled off seat control box and said it didn't cause the fire. Pulled off driver's door cover and looked. Never said what he thought caused fire.

Suburban 8-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • miles
The vehicle lost it's service stability control at 40 miles per hour making it difficult for the driver to maintain control of the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for repair for the fourth time, but there still continues to be a steering problem. There were five repair attempts to repair the system. The brakes would pulse and come on while the vehicle was in motion followed by the service stability light. The vehicle would shake violently as if it were out of control. The transmission would slip at times. A service bulletin was found in re to the clutch. The forward clutch seal/piston diss pump as well as the shift cable. The yaw rate sensor table was replaced and the ABS module was reprogrammed. There was popping coming from the left when turning due to the crossmember. Static noise was heard under the dash at times when the headlights flickered. Both upper shock insulators were squeaking. Both shock insulators were removed and replaced by new style insulators. The yaw rate sensor was replaced again with one form a new unit, the steering rotation sensor was replaced and the stability module was reprogrammed.
