problem #1

Aug 102014

Equinox 4-cyl

  • 10,300 miles
The front passenger seat caught fire sometime between 3 P.M. on 8/10/14 and 8 a.M. on 8/11/14 when the vehicle was unoccupied, parked, and locked. The fire burned a large hole in the seat. Charred debris from the burned seat was found on the front passenger side floor mat. The vehicle was taken to a Chevrolet dealer for diagnosis as soon as the burned seat was discovered. The dealer diagnosed the problem as a "seat fire caused by an internal heat source" and offered to replace the front passenger side air bag sensor and seat cushion.
