Pontiac Grand Prix Engine And Engine Cooling Engine Safety Report | Oct 31, 2008
Reported on Oct 31, 2008
| I OWN A 2001 PONTIAC GRAND PRIX GT WITH A 3.8L ENGINE. ON OCT 31, 2008, MY SON DROVE INTO HIS MOTHER'S DRIVEWAY AND PARKED THE CAR (ENGINE OFF) AND WENT INTO THE HOUSE. A FEW MINUTES LATER (5-10) HE RETURNED TO RETRIEVE SOMETHING FROM THE CAR AND DISCOVERED THE ENGINE WAS ON FIRE. THE VEHICLE IS SERVICED REGULARLY AND RAN LIKE A TOP. NO ISSUES UNTIL NOW. ONLY THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT WAS AFFECTED BY THE FIRE, BUT INSURANCE SAYS THAT IT IS A TOTAL LOSS DUE TO EXTENSIVE DAMAGE TO EXTERNAL ENGINE PARTS AND ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS. *TR | |
