The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is upgrading an investigation into 340,000 Chevrolet Trailblazer in connection to electrical fires in driver-side doors, reports The Detroit News.

The NHTSA’s investigation was sparked by reports of 28 door fires connected to a defect in the Trailblazer’s driver’s-side power master switch. Some of the fires occurred while the SUV was uninhabited with no key in the ignition.

General Motors Co. has agreed to cooperate fully in the investigation, and will expand its examination into the Trailblazer’s sister models.

NHTSA has collected a total of 83 complaints, 66 in which the owner claimed that the door module had burned or melted, and 17 in which the window switches performed erratically or were not working.

We will keep you updated as the investigation continues.

    01 How Soon Should I Contact a Lawyer After an Accident?
    Contacting a lawyer immediately after an accident is crucial to protect your legal rights, preserve evidence, and avoid missing deadlines that could impact your case.
    02 Should I Avoid Talking to Insurance Adjusters?
    It's wise to avoid speaking with insurance adjusters without consulting an attorney first, as they may use the information against you to minimize your compensation or reject your claim entirely.
    03 What if the Other Driver is Lying About the Accident?
    Gathering evidence like witness statements and photographs will help prove your side of the story. The best way to fight a false narrative by the at-fault driver is with facts that prove the truth.
    04 What Happens to My Lost Wages?
    If you can't work because of an injury from someone else's negligence, you may be entitled to compensation for lost wages, benefits, and bonuses. An attorney can help you pursue that compensation through negotiations or litigation.
    05 How is Parrish Law Firm Different?
    Founding partner James R. Parrish knows the best strategies for fighting for fair compensation from insurance companies because he used to represent the insurancers in personal injury cases. A background of working on the other side of personal injury claims gives him the insider knowledge necessary to take on these deep-pocketed companies.
    06 How Long Do I Have to Settle My Case?
    There is no strict time limit on settling a personal injury claim. However, there are restrictions on the amount of time you have to file a lawsuit. In Virginia, you must file your personal injury lawsuit within two years of the date of the accident. The time it takes to settle a case depends on the circumstances surrounding the accident and the motivations of both parties. These cases can last from a few months to several years.
