TAKATA INFLATORS. I HAVE A LOUD CRACKING NOISE IN SEVERAL PLACES BEHIND THE DASH. SOMETIMES IT HAPPENS WHEN THE CAR IS STILL BUT MOSTLY WHILE DRIVING ON INTERSTATES. THE LOUDEST CRACKING NOISE IS IN THE CENTER OF THE DASH. WITH THE TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL I AM AFRAID THAT THIS COULD BE PART OF THAT. THE CAR ONLY HAS 11,000MILES ON IT BUT THE CRACKING HAS OCCURRED SINCE THE CAR WAS NEW.

WHILE DRIVING CAR ON CITY STREET ABOUT 2 MILES FROM HOME, NOTICED SMELL COMING OUT OF VENTS. PULLED OVER TO CHECK FOR PROBLEM AND FOUND THAT THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT WAS ON FIRE. CALLED FIRE DEPT WHO CAME AND PUT OUT THE FIRE BUT THE FRONT OF CAR WAS COMPLETELY DESTROYED. CALLED GM CUSTOMER SERVICE TO REPORT AND THEY BASICALLY TOLD ME THEY WERE NOT GOING TO GET INVOLVED. NO INVESTIGATION OR HELP WHAT SO EVER. IT APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN CAUSED BY SOME KIND OF ELECTRICAL SHORT, NOT FUEL RELATED. FIRE APPEARED TO HAVE STARTED ON PASSENGER SIDE OF ENGINE NEAR THE BATTERY.THE CAR CONTINUED TO RUN NORMALLY WHILE ON FIRE. *TR
