2019 GMC Yukon SUV RWD

VEHICLE CAUGHT FIRE IN MY DRIVEWAY AND BURNED TO THE GROUND. MY WIFE AND I DROVE TO DINNER AND CAME HOME AROUND 830PM ON FRIDAY NIGHT (03/26/2021). THE NEXT MORNING (SATURDAY, 03/27/2021), I WAS WALKING PAST THE FRONT DOOR AROUND 8AM AND NOTICED FLAMES COMING OUT OF THE GRILLE (UNDER THE HOOD) WHEN I LOOKED OUTSIDE. TOLD MY WIFE TO CALL 911 AND I RAN OUTSIDE AND TRIED TO PUT IT OUT WITH THE FIRE HOUSE, BUT IT WAS TOO LATE AND THE FIRE TOOK OVER. THE FIRE MARSHALL STATED IT WAS AN ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FAILURE THAT CAUSED THE FIRE.

BRAKE LIGHTS COMPLETELY STOPPED WORKING. CAR IS 1 YEAR OLD.

AIR CONDITIONER BLOWING OUT HOT AIR.

LOSS OF POWER STEERING, LOSS OF ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL, LOSS OF ALL TRANSMISSION GEARS FORWARD AND REVERSE, LOSS OF AUTOMATIC HEADLIGHT CONTROL, LOSS OF INSTRUMENT CLUSTER GAUGES INCLUDING TACHOMETER, ENGINE OIL PRESSURE, AND ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE, LOSS OF HEATED SEAT FUNCTIONALITY, LOSS OF HEATING, VENTILATION, AIR CONDITIONING, AND LOSS OF INFOTAINMENT/STEREO SYSTEM. THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED ON TWO OCCASIONS NOW, THE FIRST ON 01/13/2020 AND THEN AGAIN ON 02/20/2020. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED IN TO THE DEALER ON 01/13/2020 AND WAS ALSO TRANSPORTED TO THE SAME DEALERSHIP AGAIN ON 02/20/2020. A TSB WAS PERFORMED BY THE DEALERSHIP WHEN IT WAS TOWED IN THE FIRST TIME THAT OBVIOUSLY DID NOT FIX THE ROOT CAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM. NORMALLY THE PROBLEM WILL GO AWAY AFTER A PERIOD OF TIME AND THEN THE DEALERSHIP CLAIMS THAT THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO REPRODUCE THE CUSTOMER'S COMPLAINT. I DO HAVE VIDEO FOOTAGE OF THE ISSUES I EXPERIENCED ON TWO OCCASION AS PROOF.

VEHICLE STATIONARY IN CAR WASH AND WHILE MANUALLY USING HANDHELD AT FRONT OF VEHICLE TOWARDS VEHICLE GRILL, BACK OF VEHICLE OPENED/LIFTED. HAS NOW HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES AND DEALER HAS MADE NO REPAIR, BUT DISCONNECTED EXTERIOR SENSOR AT GATE (WHERE YOU KICK UNDER VEHICLE TO RELEASE GATE FOR LIFT/OPEN) IN EFFORT TO ELIMINATE THAT IF INSTANCE RECURS. CONCERN IS FOR SAFETY IF DRIVING IN RAIN AND BACK OPENS/LIFTS WHILE OPERATING ON HIGHWAYS/ROADS. OWNER IS FORMER SHERIFF'S DEPUTY KN KANKAKEE COUNTY.

STEERING WHEEL SURGES DURING TRAVEL ESPECIALLY WHEN TURNING AT SPEEDS.

2019 GMC YUKON DENALI. 6408 MILES. DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT NORMAL SPEED A WARNING APPEARS THAT SAYS SERVICE POWER STEERING. IMMEDIATELY LOST POWER STEERING ON THE VEHICLE AND BY THE TIME WE GOT IT TO THE OFF RAMP THE STEERING WAS COMPLETELY LOCKED IN THE STRAIGHT POSITION. VERY FORTUNATE THAT THIS DID NOT HAPPEN ON ONE OF THE MANY CURVED ROADS WHERE WE LIVE. WE HAD NO WARNING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 GMC YUKON. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE THE FRONT SEAT DRIVER AND PASSENGER HAD BECOME ILL AND SUFFERED DIZZINESS AND LIGHT HEADINESS AND THE PASSENGER ALSO SUFFER BREATHING PROBLEMS WHICH REQUIRED MEDICAL TREATMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL DEALER RIVERTOWN BUICK/GMC (1661 WHITTLESEY RD. COLUMBUS GA) WHO WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE BUT WOULD REPLACED THE EVAPORATOR COIL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 2,000.
