30 MINUTES AFTER MY WIFE PARKED OUR 2010 GMC SIERRA 1500 PICK-UP IN OUR DETACHED GARAGE, WE HEARD A BOOM AND I RAN OUTSIDE TO SEE THE GMC CAB AND HOOD ON FIRE. I IMMEDIATELY THOUGHT, MY GOD MY WIFE WAS JUST IN THERE AND THERE IS NO WAY SHE COULD HAVE SURVIVED. I PROCEEDED TO CALL 911 AND ALL THE NEIGHBORS TO EVACUATE THEIR HOMES BECAUSE WE LIVE IN A VERY WOODED AREA AND I THOUGHT THE FIRE WOULD SPREAD. IT BURNED THE GMC, MY SUBURBAN, OUR PONTOON BOAT, OUR SONS CHEVY Z-71 PICK-UP AND THE GARAGE TO THE GROUND. *TR

DASHBOARD IS GETTING A LARGE CRACK IN IT EITHER DUE TO STRESS OR SUN HEATING AND COOLING(EXPANSION/CONTRACTION). THIS IS A PLEASURE VEHICLE, NO WORK, NOTHING EVER PUT ON THE DASHBOARD. CONCERN THAT AIRBAG MAY NOT DEPLOY PROPERLY. *TR

MY 2010 GMC SIERRA HAS AN ISSUE WITH THE DEFROSTER NOT DOING AN ADEQUATE JOB WHEN THE TEMPERATURE GOES BELOW 40 DEGREES. THE COMPUTER SYSTEM WILL NOT ALLOW YOU TO TURN ON THE A/C TO DEFROST THE WINDOWS NOR WILL IT ALLOW YOU TO TURN OFF THE RECIRCULATING AIR. SO BASICALLY AFTER 40 DEGREES OUTSIDE YOU ARE JUST PUMPING THE SAME HUMID AIR THROUGH THE CABIN CAUSING SEVERE FOGGING OF ALL THE WINDOWS. I HAVE READ MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ONLINE AND THERE IS A TSB IN PLACE TO FIX THE PROBLEM, HOWEVER, SINCE THIS IS A WIDESPREAD ISSUE, WHICH AFFECTS THOSE OF US IN COLDER CLIMATES, I FEEL THAT THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL DONE. THIS COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS. IF YOU HAVE MORE THAN 1 PERSON IN THE TRUCK AT A TIME, THE WINDOWS ARE SO FOGGY YOU NEED TO DRIVE WITH HER HEAD OUT THE DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW JUST TO SEE. I HAVE OWNED THIS TRUCK FOR 2 YEARS NOW AND THIS IS THE COLDEST WINTER WE HAVE HAD IN A WHILE. I DON'T THINK IT GOT BELOW 45 LAST YEAR SO I DIDN'T NOTICE AN ONGOING PROBLEM. NOW IT IS EVERYDAY. TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN - #11-01-38-001B. *TR

DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 42 MPH THE VEHICLES WARNINGS LIGHTS CAME ON INFORMING ME THAT THE STABILITRAC NEEDED SERVICE, TRACTION CONTROL WAS NO LONGER WORKING AND THE ENGINE WAS OPERATING AT A LOSS OF POWER. THE ENGINE STARTED SHAKING AND THE DIFFERENTIAL STARTED TO CLUNK AS IF IT WERE GOING IN AND OUT OF ENGAGEMENT. AN IMMEDIATE POWER LOSS, I WAS UNABLE TO KEEP UP WITH TRAFFIC AND WAS IN BECOMING A HAZARD TO OTHER MOTORISTS. THE ENGINE STARTED TO PING AND FELT AS IF IT WERE FIRING ON 2 OR 3 CYLINDERS. I PULLED OVER INTO THE BREAKDOWN LANE AND SHUT THE TRUCK OFF. SEVERAL MINUTES LATER I STARTED THE TRUCK AND IT RAN NORMAL, HOWEVER APPROXIMATELY 2 MILES DOWN THE ROAD IT DID THE EXACT SAME THING. I MANAGED TO TAKE THE "BACK ROADS" HOME WITHOUT ENDANGERING ANYONE. THE NEXT MORNING IT STARTED AND RAN NORMAL. YESTERDAY IT HAPPENED AGAIN ONLY THIS TIME I WAS AT A MAJOR INTERSECTION AND ALMOST CAUSED A COLLISION BECAUSE I WAS UNABLE TO GET THROUGH THE INTERSECTION BEFORE THE LIGHT CHANGED. I MADE IT THROUGH AND CALLED TO HAVE THE TRUCK TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. *TR
