During the fire, the vehicle was destroyed and later towed away from the scene. A Fire report was filed, and the contact was informed that the fire was probably an electrical fire.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
Travelling on an FM road, going 55 when Yukon began accelerating on its own, even when I took foot off the accelerator. tapped brakes, thinking cruise control had engaged. Vehicle swerved violently. Speed kept increasing. Saw I was traveling 75mph! Braked hard! Felt as if acceleration was fighting against the brakes. Then spun out in the middle of the highway, spinning around 1 1/2 times while fully braking. Finally I slowed enough to throw it into park, regardless of what it might do to my transmission, I had to stop the vehicle. I came to rest straddling the lane I had been in and the oncoming lane, facing the direction from which I came. Traffic behind me had seen my struggles in time to stop back far enough that they weren’t endangered and there was no oncoming traffic at that moment. The fuel propulsion system (throttle?) seems to be at fault. There was no warning on the dash about any issue prior to this. The issue was real, a danger to myself and others. A mechanic examined the vehicle and discovered accumulation of debris on top of connector under the hood. He believed just enough water caused the conductivity needed to trigger the acceleration. State that these vehicles allow more intrusion from wheel well area than most. He thoroughly cleaned all connectors and no further issues have happened (yet!) Further research uncovered a report on ‘Sudden Unintended Acceleration’. The link follows: https://www.gmfullsize.com/threads/sudden-unintended-acceleration-gm-full-size-trucks.327479/ I also have a report quoting all the GM document #'s if need be.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
This dashboard is literally falling apart on a daily basis. I keep windshield coverings on the windhsield when in the sun. the design is terrible, and the plastic (if you want to call it that) is very brittle almost if it's made of some sort of plant based material. this IS a safety hazard as the pieces that are coming off are sharp, and large. There is also an airbag recall to be completed in which they will absolutely add to the damage of my dash. GM as a company is cowardly in hiding from this issue. you know this should be a recall, and is costing YOUR customers a lot of unnecessary funding to fix an issue that you absolutely are responsible for. do the right thing. WE pay your salaries.

AIR BAGS, SEAT BELTS
The side air bags on the passenger and driver side front and back deployed while driving down the road. The driver side airbag hit my 19 year old son in the side of the face hard enough to cause his ears to ring. There was not a reason for the air bags to go off spontaneously. He had to pull to the side of the road blindly because he didn’t know if he had been hit by another vehicle. We have filed a complaint with GMC. This could have caused a serious wreck injuring my son or someone else on the road due to the shock and force of the air bags hitting him and the inability to see after they deployed. Yes it is available for inspection.
