On may 26 2008 my chevy silverado wires caught on fire I was able to get it put out pretty quick with only a minor burn to my finger but GM does not want to admit there is a problem with the truck they cant say why it happened there trying to blame it on me I hope you can look into this so maybe if there is a problem with there trucks some one don't get hurt of die.
