IN OCT. 2007 I PURCHASED A BRAND NEW 2007 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN FROM GORDON CHEVROLET IN TAMPA FLORIDA, IT HAD 20 MILES ON IT. ON DECEMBER 9TH 2008 WHILE ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK, AT APPROXIMATELY 12:45 AM, IT EXPLODED AND WAS ENGULFED IN FLAMES. I RECEIVED 2ND AND 3RD DEGREE BURNS AND WAITED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD FOR CLOSE TO 30 MINUTES FOR HELP TO ARRIVE. THE SUBURBAN HAD ABSOLUTELY NO AFTERMARKET CHANGES OR ANY TYPE OF MODIFICATIONS DONE TO IT. ALL OF ITS SERVICING AND REPAIR WORK WAS DONE AT COX CHEVROLET IN BRADENTON FLORIDA, A GENERAL MOTORS DEALERSHIP. THE TRUCK HAD JUST OVER 35,000 MILES ON IT AND IS NOW JUST A BURNT OUT SHELL. DURING THE 1 YEAR AND 2 MONTHS I OWNED IT, I HAD SEVERAL PROBLEMS WITH IT AND TOOK IT TO THE SERVICING DEALERSHIP FOR ALL THE PROBLEMS. MY ATTORNEY AND MY INSURANCE AGENT THINK IT WAS A DEFECT IN THE MANUFACTURING OR A DEFECT IN THE REPAIR. AN OFFICIAL CAUSE HAS YET TO BE DETERMINED AND BECAUSE OF GM'S GOING BANKRUPT THEY ARE NOT INTERESTED. *TR
