Pontiac Grand Prix Fuel System, Gasoline Safety Report | Feb 08, 2003
Reported on Feb 08, 2003
| IN FEB OF 2003 MY PONTIAC GRAND PRIX CAUGHT FIRE AFTER I PARKED FOR THE EVENING. SINCE THEN, INSURANCE REFUSED COVERAGE FOR SUSPICIOUS IN NATURE. IN 2003 PONTIAC CLAIMED NO RESPONSIBILITY, GM'S 100,000 MILE WARRANTY WAS A REFUSED. AFTER COMPLAINING AGAIN IN 2006 PONTIAC CALLED AGAIN TO SAY THEY WERE NOT AT FAULT AND HAD NO RESPONSIBILITY. I ASKED THEM FOR CORRESPONDING VIN NUMBERS AND WAS REFUSED. I HAVE LOCATED OVER 15 ADDITIONAL GRAND PRIX ENGINE FIRES WHERE GM / PONTIAC IS CLAIMING NO RESPONSIBILITIES. ONCE ? TWICE ? 10 + ? I READ THAT NHTSA HAD BEGUN ANOTHER INVESTIGATION IN FEB 07 AND WOULD LIKE MORE INFORMATION ON THIS. I WOULD BE HAPPY TO FORWARD COPIES OF ANY OF MY MATERIALS INCLUDING 2 SEPARATE FIRE INVESTIGATIONS THAT CLAIM MY FIRE STARTED BY THE DRIVERS HEAD LAMP UNDER THE AIR FILTER ASSEMBLY, INCLUDING RECEIPTS THAT SHOW WHERE GM SERVICED MY FUEL ASSEMBLY 2 WEEKS PRIOR TO THE FIRE... *JB | |
