What owners wrote
Smoke came out inside on the front passenger vent, fire melted the vent cover. Took the GMC / buick dealership, they said they cannot find the source of fire, suggesting fire cause is external such as reflection from the sun. Driver does't smoke and there's nothing I can find in the vehicle that might have cause the reflection such as a mirror or any shiny object. This happened while the vehicle is in motion, city street driving. Vehicle traveled approximately 2 miles from the house at 8 in the morning.
Vehicle warning lights come on randomly - airbags, check engine, ABS. They will light during drive time, then blink out for no apparent reason. Instrument lighting may or may not light when vehicle is started, and instrument console and/or entertainment console will not function when unlit. Again, this happens randomly, and often resolves just as randomly. Have had vehicle inspected by dealer without any issues identified. Issues have been ongoing for a number of years.
