1) Wiring harness to the wireless charging pad on the center console that is wired through the door hinge. Shorts out when opening or closing center console. 2) Caused a fire that led to smoke and melted components inside center console hinge. Caused smoke and awful plastic burning smell while my kids and I were parked. I had just started the vehicle. My two kids and I had to jump and run from the vehicle. 3) No, but by many forums that dealers and mechanics are aware of this issue and charges you hundreds to fix it when it is MANUFACTURE ERROR. 4) This vehicle has been inspected many times. By all the other inspection laws Missouri has in place. How has it gotten passed many times with this known issue? 5)NO! This put mine and my kids life at risk. It is a known and wide issue yet no one takes this seriously. As it just affected me and my two children, I hope this is taken seriously. Hold manufactures responsible and dealers for selling vehicles with these known issues. Protect people.

I was driving my 2015 GMC Yukon a light illuminated on the dashboard. I pulled over at a Convenience store. Got my children out of the car. Once out of the vehicle I noticed smoke. Within the matter of 2 mins the truck was engulfed in flames.

Rear tail light stopped working going on and off and according to the auto electrician my vehicle could have gotten on fire due to the faulty lights. Upon searching for answers to why my vehicle's back lights were not working, I came upon many other consumers experiencing the same issue. Not only is the cost to replace the lamps so high, we risk in driving a vehicle that could catch fire for such cheaply made lights. And I state this because the auto electrician said that the wire would heat up while driving the vehicle and cause further damages to my yukon. While driving, you can hear a clear chirping noise that is produced when you brake. This also happens while the vehicle is stationary.

Car was parked in front of our house and combusted in the middle of the night while we were sleeping. Car was exploding and engulfed in flames...completely destroyed via fire and the worst damage was in the engine compartment. Cause of the fire is unknown although based on research sounds like the federal safety agency campaign #14v007000 or 14v152000. Fire department extinguished the fire and police were on the scene.
