Pontiac Grand Prix Engine And Engine Cooling Cooling System Safety Report | Jan 03, 2007
Reported on Jan 03, 2007
| I WENT TO THE STORE(WAL-MART) WITH TWO OF MY CHILDREN ON JANUARY 3RD 2007, AFTER WE WERE IN THE STORE FOR ABOUT TEN MINUTES MY LICENSE PLATE WAS PAGED BY THE CUSTOMER SERVICE COUNTER, AS I APPROACHED THE COUNTER I OVERHEARD PEOPLE SAYING THAT THERE WAS A CAR ON FIRE IN THE PARKING LOT. I WENT OUTSIDE AND IT WAS MY CAR THAT HAD FIRE COMING OUT OF THE HOOD. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT ARRIVED QUICKLY AND PUT OUT THE FIRE. I CONTACTED MY INSURANCE AND THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT THE CAR AND BOTH PARTIES TOLD ME THAT MY CAR WAS TOTALED. I KEPT UP ALL THE MAINTENANCE ON THE CAR AND AT THE TIME I DID NOT KNOW WHAT CAUSED MY CAR TO CATCH ON FIRE UNTIL THE RECALL NOTICE ON MARCH 15 2008. AT THE TIME I DID NOT KNOW WHO TO REPORT MY CAR FIRE TO BUT WITH THE RECALL I SAW THE NHTSA INFORMATION AND THAT THERE WERE OVER 250 REPORTED CASES ALREADY. IT TOOK ME SOME TIME TO FIND MY INFO BUT I HAVE IT ON HAND NOW. *TR | |
