Deal firmly with these folks if they give you any answer other than "we're sorry for any inconvenience, we will be repairing your truck immediately, please allow us to let you use a similar truck in the mean time" Recall or not, this is inexcusable and is a distinct safety issue. Press up the chain until you get satisfaction as necessary. This is THEIR problem, don't touch the vehicle. Good luck.

I am not touching it! I have taken pictures of the damage,I am just glad that it happened with me in the vehicle!If the vehicle had been parked normally where it is the garages surely would have been caught on fire also.I have a feeling I am going to get a song and dance but I can sing and dance pretty darn loud!LOL. I just wanted this to get around so that people with similar vehicles can find out about it and maybe get the problem corrected before a fire occurs.Thanks for the responses

General Motors contacted the nearest Dealer and they sent a wrecker and just picked up the truck.So it looks like it is going to be repaired at no cost to me.For all you guys that drive a vehicle like this or a tahoe,suburban you should be concerned about this problem.
