Pontiac Grand Prix Engine And Engine Cooling Engine Safety Report | Mar 03, 2009
Reported on Mar 03, 2009
| ON MARCH 3, 2009; MY PONTIAC GRAND PRIX GTP CAUGHT ON FIRE WITHIN 10 MINUTES OF ME PARKING THE CAR IN FRONT OF THE HOUSE. I WENT INTO THE HOUSE AND WITHIN MINUTES MY NEIGHBORS WERE BANGING ON THE DOOR SAYING MY CAR IS ON FIRE. I ALREADY FILED A COMPLAINT WITH GM AS I WAS INFORMED OF A FACTORY RECALL BY BROWSING THE INTERNET. I NEVER RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE AND GM SAYS BECAUSE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE USED, MAYBE GM DOESN'T HAVE MY HOME ADDRESS . GM SAYS TO LEAVE THE VEHICLE IN IT'S POST-FIRE CONDITION UNTIL THEY INVESTIGATE. HOW LONG WILL THIS TAKE? NOW THAT I'M BROWSING MORE STORIES LIKE MINE INVOLVING ENGINE FIRES IN THE GRAND PRIX I'M MORE CONCERNED THAT GM IS NOT TAKING THIS MATTER SERIOUS ENOUGH. HOW WILL GM COMPENSATE ME FOR MY LOSS???? *TR | |
