ON DECEMBER 6, 2015 I WAS DRIVING MY COLORADO WHEN I SMELLED AN ELECTRICAL FIRE. A FEW MINUTES LATER MY PASSENGER TOLD ME TO PULL OVER. THERE WAS A FIRE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE UNDER THE GLOVE BOX. IT WAS THE AC BLOWER FAN RESISTOR. WE WERE ABLE TO GET TO A FIRE EXTINGUISHER AND PUT IT OUT BUT AFTER SOME RESEARCH FOUND THAT IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM IN CHEVYS STARTING IN 2005. I CALLED GM AND STARTED A CLAIM. I THEN TOOK IT TO A CHEVY DEALER TO BE FIXED. I WAS INFORMED THAT BECAUSE THE TRUCK WAS OUT OF WARRANTY THAT IT WAS NOT COVERED BY GM AND I WOULD HAVE TO PAY $1700 TO HAVE IT FIXED. THIS IS A FACTORY PART. I HAVE NEVER HAD ANY MODIFICATIONS DONE TO THE VEHICLE SINE I DROVE IT OFF THE SHOWROOM FLOOR.

ON FRIDAY MORNING AT 8:10AM I WAS DRIVING ON MY WAY TO WORK DOWN AUBURN WAY WHEN MY CHEVROLET COLORADO BEGAN TO SMELL LIKE SOMETHING ELECTRICAL WAS BURNING SECONDS LATER I NOTICED SMOKED COMING FROM UNDER MY GLOVE BOX ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. A FEW SECOND S LATER I SAW FLAMES DRIPPING DOWN TO MY FLOOR BOARD. IT ALL HAPPENED VERY QUICKLY AND SOON AS I PULLED INTO A SIDE ROAD I TRIED TO LOOK AROUND TO SEE WHERE THE FIRE WAS COMING FROM AND I EVEN ATTEMPTED TO PUT OUT THE FIRE STARTED ON MY FLOOR MAT BUT IN SECOND THE TRUCK CAUGHT FIRE AND I WAS ONLY ABLE TO GET A HANDFUL OF MY PAPERS AND MY SONS CAR TOY BEFORE THE FLAMES REALLY TOOK HOLD. I CALLED 9-11 AND THEY RESPONDED RARELY QUICKLY CONSIDERING THE STATION IS ABOUT A MILE AWAY. BUT BY THE TIME THEY ARRIVE THE TRUCK WAS FULLY ENGAGED IN FLAMES. WHEN THEY FINALLY WERE ABLE TO PUT IT OUT THE FIRE CAPTAIN SAID IT SEEMED TO HAVE STARTED U DEAR THE HOOD AS ELECTRICAL FIRE AND BLEW RIGHT THE FIRE WAY. HAD I BEEN ON THE HIGHWAY THE FIRE WOULD HAVE GOT OXYGEN AND I MAY NOT HAD HAD A CHANCE TO GET OUT.
