Tl* the contact owns 2009 gmc sierra denali. The contact stated that in attempt to start the vehicle, he smelled an abnormal smoke and burning odor and the vehicle failed to start with the check engine light illuminated. The contact open the hood and observed the fuse box melted and covered in black. The contact had the vehicle towed to local dealer robertson's gmc truck located at 2680 cranberry hwy, wareham, ma 02571 where the failure has not been determined. The dealer also stated that the fuse box and circuit harness needed to be repaired. The vehicle has not been repaired. The vehicle was not included in the federal safety agency campaign number: 10v240000 (electrical systems). The manufacturer was contacted and notified of failure and informed the contact that the VIN was not included in the recall and referred the contact to the federal safety agency. The failure mileage was approximately 72,000.
My truck died in traffic but I was able to get started and home (2 miles). My check engine light came on and I am reading a code u0191, which refers to the fuel pump flow control module. I had to purchase a battery because I had a battery draining issue and was having to jump it if it sat for a couple of days. My truck will not start at this time. After doing some checking, both my fuel pump and fuel flow module fuses are hot even with the truck ignition off. Which would indicate a short in the system. After some research , I found a safety recall that describes the exact issue but my VIN doesn't come up in the recall. Recall bulletin # 14515b . I guess what I am asking is why wasn't my vehicle included in the recall? Apparently this is affecting more vehicles that what the recall included.
All door locks are inoperative. They will not lock or unlock the doors with either the key of the door lock buttons. Just found this website-hence delay in reporting, did contact dealership-cost of repair is astronomical

I'm having electrical/computer problems that started over a year ago and continue to increase. First, my speakers go off and on as they please. The driver side door speaker is the only one that stays on consistently, and it has nothing to do with hitting bumps or anything else. Second, my power looks have gone out. My key fob will still work them and they still lock and unlock when truck is moved between park and drive. But the buttons on the door do not work. I've replaced all the fuses, and still, nothing. Third, my cruise control is going out. On a long drive I used it for half and then the other half it wouldn't even try to come back on. A few days later it worked again.
The power door locks won't lock and unlock. I have already replaced one door lock mechanism at my cost. Now a second lock won't function. This is well known by gm. They refuse to recall it. This is a safety issue. Gm needs to repair these door locks.
My driver's door lock actuator has begun working intermittently. This is the second door lock actuator on my vehicle to fail, the first was replaced under warranty and the gm mechanic told me they have replaced numerous actuators. The vehicle automatically locks all doors when driven and unlocks when stopped however the faulty actuator does not always lock or unlock. These actuators have a long history of being defective and gm is aware of it but refuses to recall the faulty actuator even though they have literally replaced thousands of these units. These faulty actuators are a safety concern because in the event of an accident a door could fail to unlock effectively trapping the occupants. The faulty actuators are also a security concern because they could fail to secure the vehicle allowing anyone access to it's contents.
Tl* the contact owns a 2009 gmc sierra 1500. The contact stated that while driving 45 MPH, the vehicle stalled without warning. The vehicle was towed to dealer to have a diagnostic performed.
