I LOST EVERYTHING. I WAS DRIVING ON HIGHWAY 20 IN LASALLE AND A OLD MAN IN A BMW WAS HIGH BEAMING ME, I SLOWED DOWN AND SWITCHED TO THE RIGE TRUCK LANE. HE SPED UP IN THE MIDDLE LANE AND GAVE ME A HAND SIGNAL TO PULL OVER. I EXITED OFF THE HIGHWAY AND PARKED THE TRUCK. I WENT IN THE BACK AND DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING BIZARRE, BUT STILL TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT THE OLD MAN SAW. I WENT BACK IN THE TRUCK AND PUT IT IN REVERSE AND FELT THE TRUCK HESITATING WHILE BACKING UP, NOW I PUT IT IN DRIVE, SAMETHING TRUCK HESITATING. I TURNED THE TRUCK OFF AND OPENED THE HOOD AND ALL I SAW WERE FLAMES ALL OVER THE ENGINE, AIR INTAKE, AROUND THE BATTERY AND ESPECIALLY AROUND THE DIPSTICK FOR THE TRANSMISSION. WITHIN 15 MINUTES MY WHOLE TRUCK THAT I PUT 2 AND A HALF YEARS WORTH FIREMEN TOOK 25 MINUTES AT LEAST, WHILE THE COPS CAME IN 10 MIN. BY THE TIME THE COPS CAME THE TRUCK WAS ALREADY HALF BURNT. MY GIRLFRIEND WAS WITH ME GOING CRAZY. ITS GONE, ALL GONE. REBUILT THE TRANSMISSION, CHANGED RACK AND PINION, CHANGE EXHAUST LINE COMPLETE FROM FRONT FLEX PIPE RIGHT TO THE REAR TAIL PIPE, FRONT AND REAR SUSPENSION COMPLETELY CHANGED, BUILT IN AN IPHONE CHARGER AND THIS IS WHAT I GET, TO FIND OUT 2 WEEKS BEFORE CHRISTMAS THAT THIS TRUCK IS OVERLOADED WITH RECALLS DUE TO BAD GAS FILTER FITTING, AND SHORT CIRCUIT IN DRIVERSIDE DOOR. THANK U GM FOR WISHING ME A MERRY CHRISTMAS.................................. *TR

IN OCTOBER 2007, GM INITIATED A SPECIAL COVERAGE PROGRAM FOR ALL MY 1999 THROUGH 2004 CHEVROLET TRACKER VEHICLES SOLD OR CURRENTLY REGISTERED IN SALT-BELT STATES.THE PROGRAM EXTENDS THE WARRANTY COVERAGE FOR FRONT SUSPENSION CROSSMEMBER CORROSION TO 10 YEARS OR 150,000 MILES, WHICHEVER OCCURS FIRST.GM IS ADMINISTERING THE PROGRAM IN PHASES DUE TO PART AVAILABILITY.THE FIRST PHASE STARTED IN OCTOBER 2007 AND COVERS THE MY 1999 AND 2000 VEHICLES.OWNERS OF MY 2001 THROUGH 2004 VEHICLES WILL RECEIVE LETTERS AT A FUTURE DATE, BUT ARE ELIGIBLE TO RECEIVE FREE REPAIRS FROM THE PROGRAM IF THE CROSSMEMBER REQUIRES REPLACEMENT.GM'S PROGRAM PROVIDES FREE INSPECTIONS FOR CONSUMERS EVERY 12 MONTHS THROUGH THE TERMS OF THE POLICY ADJUSTMENT.COPIES OF THE DEALER BULLETIN AND OWNER LETTER FOR GM'S SPECIAL COVERAGE PROGRAM ARE ATTACHED TO THE CLOSING REPORT FOR THIS INVESTIGATION. THE RATE OF CONFIRMED LCA SEPARATIONS AT 5 YEARS IN SERVICE IS LESS THAN 10 PER 100,000 VEHICLES, WHICH IS LOW RELATIVE TO OTHER INVESTIGATIONS OF FRONT SUSPENSION ISSUES PREVIOUSLY INVESTIGATED BY ODI. ACCORDINGLY, THIS INVESTIGATION IS CLOSED.THE CLOSING OF THIS INVESTIGATION DOES NOT CONSTITUTE A FINDING BY NHTSA THAT A SAFETY-RELATED DEFECT DOES NOT EXIST.THE AGENCY WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR COMPLAINTS AND OTHER INFORMATION RELATING TO THE ALLEGED DEFECT IN THE SUBJECT VEHICLES AND TAKE FURTHER ACTION IN THE FUTURE IF WARRANTED.
