Pontiac Grand Prix Fuel System, Gasoline Fuel Injection System Fuel Rail Safety Report | Jan 16, 2008
Reported on Jan 16, 2008
| MY 2000 GRAND PRIX GTP CAUGHT FIRE ON JANUARY 16, 2008. I BOUGHT MY CAR WELL-MAINTAINED AND HAD BEEN KEEPING UP ON THE MAINTENANCE VERY WELL. MY GTP HAD BEEN HAVING NO SIGNS OF ANY TROUBLE INCLUDING THE DAY IN CAUGHT FIRE. I HAD JUST TURNED OFF MY CAR AND WENT INSIDE. THERE WAS NOTHING ABNORMAL ABOUT MY CAR- NO SMELLS, NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON, AND NO GAUGES SHOWING THAT ANYTHING WAS WRONG. WITHIN 20 MINUTES, I HAD GONE INSIDE, MY CAR STARTED ON FIRE, THE FIRE DEPARTMENT PUT OUT THE FIRE, AND I CAME BACK TO SEE MY CAR TOTALED. EVERYTHING UNDER THE HOOD WAS MELTED, ENGINE AND ALL. *TR | |
