Chevy Tahoes On Fire

Filed under: Chev love

And I mean really on fire.

See, according to Reuters, safety officials in the US are now looking at and investigating fires that are spurting out from the engine compartments of Chevrolet Tahoe vehicles. They are also looking at GMC Yukon SUVs which also been complained because of such problems. Both vehicles are manufactured by the General Motors Corporation.

At present, the NHTSA has documents of two complaints of fires which had happened in 2007 models. Although there are only two complaints as of press time, it is very important to look at this matter. If there really is a problem that could be a manufacturer’s fault, there would be 423,000 units which would be affected and it would mean having to replace the affected parts which could include the engine cooling system, the engine, battery, cables, and the wiring.

Looking at the two complaints, there have already been two injuries because of the fires. The vehicles were in garages and the engine was off when the fires occurred.
