Pontiac Grand Prix Electrical System Safety Report | June 05, 2008
Reported on June 05, 2008
| I WAS DRIVING HOME AND STOPPED TO LET MY SON OUT TO VISIT HIS FRIEND. WHEN HE GOT OUT OF THE CAR I SMELLED SOMETHING BURNING. I GOT AROUND THE CORNER TO MY HOUSE AND MY CAR BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON AND I COASTED INTO THE DRIVEWAY. AT THAT POINT THERE WAS SMOKE UNDER THE HOOD AND MY HUSBAND OPENED IT. THERE WERE FLAMES UNDER THE HOOD AND MY HUSBAND PUT OUT THE FIRE WITH A HOSE. WE HAD TO REPLACE THE ALTERNATOR AND IGNITION WIRES, SO FAR. I AM NOT SURE WHAT ELSE IS DAMAGED AT THIS POINT. THE CAR HAD BEEN RUNNING FINE PRIOR TO THIS. *TR | |
