On july 1, 2018, my son was driving his 2006 chevy colorado on the freeway when it combusted in the front driver's side engine area. thankfully, he was able to exit the vehicle before it became fully engulfed! the pickup burned entirely, very hot and very quick. see attached photos. i did contact gm, as i see there have been many claims of fire in these vehicles. however, gm was unwilling to put effort into trying to determine the cause of this fire that endangered my sons life!! i have received no answers, no compassion, no follow through. it is beyond disappointing for a company such as general motors to not be doing a better job for their consumers.
