Smoke In Cabin

[chris brindley]

I just picked my kid up from school and driving home and i smelt electrical burning, looked down and smoke bellowing out of cup holders, at the same time the wireless charger light started to light up even though i do not use a wireless charging phone.
Shut down the car immediately and removed the cup holder console, look like a bunch of melted wires from the main wiring harness plug.
Some how i feel this is a nightmare waiting to happen from GMC

Just a update on this, GM said the wireless charger caused some kind of short and managed to melt the entire wiring harness all the way into the dash, $3700.00
thank god it was covered by Insurance

Glad you all were not injured and you caught it in time!

Holy carp, that’s intense! I take it you were out of warranty when this occurred?
