I was operating the vehicle heading out of town, about 120 miles from my starting point. While waiting to turn onto an intersecting highway, my passenger and myself noticed smoke coming from under the vehicle in the area of the passenger rear area of the cab. No warning lights were illuminated on the dash. I quickly pulled into a vacant lot just after the intersection. I jumped out of the truck and looked under the vehicle and saw flames starting to dance along under the cab in the area of the DPF.

While operating my 2024 GMC Sierra EV Edition 1 at approximately 21,000 miles, a "Service Power Steering" warning appeared. Steering effort initially increased and then rapidly progressed to a near-complete loss of power steering assist. The steering wheel became extremely difficult to turn, making anything more than a gradual sweeping turn nearly impossible. I was able to safely exit the roadway into a parking lot.
