Replying to: ecfgm3800 (Aug 11, 2006 1:54 am) Add me to this pathetic list. My 2002 GTP with 3800 series engine caught fire in my driveway last night after I had parked it and came into the house. By the time I new it was on fire there wasn't much that could be done. Fire department came before it blew up but it appears to be a total loss. I would appreciate any update from anyone who has had any sucess at getting anything done about this.

Replying to: bixxli (Sep 19, 2006 4:27 am) how did you go about contacting GM and the Better business bureau? My car started on fire and was a total loss within 15 minutes. Have you gone the legal route with the BBB? And is there any action we can take with how many people this has happened to?

Replying to: jessica9 (Oct 09, 2006 4:30 pm) I call the toll free number to customer service with GM, they sent a so-called expert who spent maybe 15 minutes looking at my car and they finally told me that they couldn't determine the cause of the fire and they aren't responsible. I can't give my personal email address here. I would love to for people to email me about this. There isn't much we can talk about here.

#17 of 318 Filing a complaint with... by jessica9 Oct 21, 2006 (3:15 pm)
I was told to file a complaint with the National Highway Transporation Safety Association, these are the people who make the manufacturers do recalls. The web address is www. NHTSA.dot.gov. There were many complaints of fires and failures on the grand prixs. Hopefully they'll see enough complaints and something will get done about it.
#19 of 318 1999 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP Engine fire by outdoorlady Nov 03, 2006 (12:25 pm)
My Grand Prix caught fire within 10 minutes of parking it...ON MY MOTHER'S CARPORT!! It almost caught her house on fire. The complete engind compartment was burned to a crisp within 10 minutes after the smoke and flames started, the fire department said it appeared to be an electical shortage under the hood. What does it take to get GM to do something, lives to be lost? Replies to this message: bedens (Nov 04, 2006 8:13 pm)

Replying to: KarenS (Oct 10, 2006 10:51 am) Karen,   I think you should expand this link to GM 3800 engine fires. The 3800 Engine is used in seveal GM models. Expanding this forum would link the this engine to all GM makes that use it. The Engine is used in Chevy's, Buicks, and Pontiacs. I have a 3800 Series II in my Pontiac Grand Prix GTP. Let's open this up to get a better cross section and true picture of this issue.   Thanks Replies to this message: juliehaugland (Dec 13, 2006 6:23 am)
