Our LiftMaster 2220 garage door opener was pulling the garage door open. When it got to about half-way open, it let go of the door and the door came crashing down. This is a screw-drive model and the part of the opener that connects the door to the screw rod is called the "rack". This piece is made of plastic and when it broke the door came crashing down. Such a critical piece that connects the door and is under a lot of pressure should not be made of plastic that can break so easily! If someone was trying to walk under the door when this happened they would have been seriously injured. I fear for my small children with this issue.

Subject is a GTO 3000XLS gate operator system, operating for 3 years. Battery caught fire during normal operation. Contacted vendor April 10th, 2023 with this information, including photographs. As of May 2, 2023, no remedy was offered as unit was outside two year warranty period.

Caller stated that her garage opener caught fire. She stated that her spouse had gone to the garage after her daughter had left out, he smelled something burning and then he noticed that the garage opener was in flames and pieces were falling off from the ceiling, the flames dissipated when it fell to the concrete floor. He immediately used a shovel to remove the burning parts and to unplug it. There is no estimate for any property damages at this time. The submitter noted her spouse put the flames out, but didn't remove the parts (hand shovel was nearby). Caller feels that they experienced problems of recall#14-114. Hazard:The control board can overheat, posing a fire hazard. The manufacturer was not contacted as yet. Caller feels that the garage opener is a fire hazard and should be recalled. The submitter added [the incident] happened at 10pm - their bedtime, and they were extremely lucky her husband checked to see if their daughter shut the door and that the other doors were shut; otherwise, [their daughter] would have come home to dead parents and pets. The submitter also added they are thankful they didn't lose their house, not to mention their lives, and she believes they were within seconds of losing both.

He turned and saw that the garage door was continuing to go down although it was no longer moving down. The door bent/buckled about center as if to fold itself in half. Three windows completely shattered, exposing sharp ragged edges. He was able to get the door to retract back up by crossing the light sensor beam.
