Tl*the contact owns a 2003 GMC sierra 2500 hd. While driving 35 MPH, the warning lights on the instrument panel continued to flash on and off. In addition, the windshield wipers activated and smoke was noticed underneath the hood. The contact had been driving for several minutes before noticing the smoke. The hood could not be opened and the fire department was called. A police report was filed. Ten minutes later, the vehicle was engulfed in flames and destroyed. The failure and current mileages were 65,000.
Had injectors replaced under warranty at 50000 miles after noticing excess exhaust smoke on startup and also power steering hoses were leaking, again at 105000 miles they totally failed as I was bringing my wife home from hospital on I-15 in ca. Up cajon pass and had to be towed to dealer, but GM dealer would not cover injectors under warranty as truck was11 years old and their coverage was for 7 years only, now again had to have them replaced at 147000 miles because of excessive smoke on startup.
