Reported on Mar 20, 2001
| I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON THE HIGHWAY, WHEN WITHOUT WARNING, IT STALLED. I PULLED TO THE SIDE, AND ATTEMPTED TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. IT CONTINUED TO START, BY WHEN I PUT IT IN GEAR IT WOULD STALL AGAIN. AFTER SEVERAL TIMES, WE SAW SMOKE, THEN IMMEDIATELY FIRE. THE ENTIRE UNDERSIDE OF THE VEHICLE WAS BURNED BY TIME THE FIRE DEPT. ARRIVED. THE HIGHWAY PATROL CALLED AAA WHO TOWED IT TO MY USUAL GARAGE. AFTER INSPECTION, THEY DETERMINED IT WAS TOO MUCH DAMAGE TO WARRANT FIXING. I CONTACTED THE PONTIAC CUST. ASSIST. CENTER AND WAS GIVEN A REFERENCE # AFTER FILING A REPORT. HAVE HEARD NOTHING. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED BACK TO MY RESIDENCE, WHERE IT IS NOW. I STILL OWE ON THE VEHICLE, AND HAVE NO RECOURSE. *AK | |
