While driving at normal speed driver closed the driver's side electrical window and started to smell wires burning inside the cab of the vehicle. Driver saw flames coming out of the rear driver's side door panel. Driver exited car and called the fire department.
While braking doors automatically locked, and armrest caught on fire, causing consumer to pull over. Dealer notified.
While driving vehicle would be missing/backfiring and blowing black smoke. Went to emission control inspection, and vehicle didn't pass. Also, fuel injection line in throttle body was a plastic line and it split. Filled up fuel injection system with gasoline. If there was a spark, vehicle would catch on fire. In addition, replaced catalytic converter/o2 sensor/ radiator cap/ brake rotors, and throttle body air valve. However, vehicle was still exhibiting the same problem. Contacted dealer .
I had problems with ABS systemfrom the begining.I had a brake caliper hanging up(drivers side) and continually had premature pad burnout and moments when there was no brakes at all.it was repaired three times.I complained to chevrolet in 1994 about the problems.case # 960151709,I was told,brake pads are not covered.I tld them the problem was more than brake pads,that something was wrong with the system.they ignored the problem. In 1997, while my sister and I were driving,I experienced total brake failure and the vehicle caught fire.we were fortunate not to be on the highway at the time!allstate insurance paid me for the vehicle,but by the time the loan was paid,I was left with nothing!I feel chevrolet should compensate me for my loss and fortunately, no one was injured or killed.
Abs brake failure; also, left front brake caliper was hanging up, causing premature brake pad failure. In addition, vehicle caught on fire, cause undetermined.
