What owners wrote
Vehicle was parked in driveway overnight. Owner heard horn going off at 3am and looked outside and saw a small fire on driver side front hood near tire area. Fire burned intensely throughout left side of engine compartment.
In august last year I purchased a 2007 chevrolet suburban. At 2000 miles the car is 1st totally draining the battery ( I was in camping in the middle of the forest- they found me after 3 hrs- sheriff dept). Since then every month same and the dealer can not find the problem. They changed 3 batteries. Today 2/21/2007 is the 7th time. I pay $825/mth + rent a car every month -- they do not pay for rent a car because they start blame each other. GMC is blaming the dealer and the dealer GMC.
