#145 of 317 99 grand prix engine fire by sargentj Feb 23, 2008 (10:58 pm)
I had a 99 grand prix and on december 14 i was sleeping and my man had taken the car to town and came back and parked it and left in his truck and about 15 minutes later i woke up to something popping and it was engulfed in flames and had caught the front of our house on fire!!! Gm really needs to get these engines fixed before someone dies from a fire
#146 of 317 add me to the list by elujan2006 Feb 23, 2008 (11:50 pm)
My grand prix was running great. I went to start it and the engine caught on fire. My brother saw me and we put out the fire before the fire department got there but now i have a beautiful car that i can't use anymore. Very sad. I only had liablity insurance. There must be something I can do since this was my only means of transportation.

#151 of 317 Finally a recall by tommy231 Mar 13, 2008 (5:12 pm)
Replying to: jodi84 (Feb 25, 2008 3:32 pm) http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/13/recall-watch-207-542-pontiacs-and-buicks-reca- lled-due-to-engine/   I want to thank everyone for their patience while this problem was root-caused. I want to believe our diligence helped bring closure to this long-standing concern. Well at least it is potential closure for those of us that haven't had a fire yet.

Replying to: tommy231 (Mar 13, 2008 5:12 pm) I am glad they are finally recalling them but what about those of us who have lost our vehicles to fires? What do we get?

Replying to: jodi84 (Feb 25, 2008 3:32 pm) jodi 84   My car also caught on fire. I haven't been able to contact anyone besides NHTSA. Who did you contact?

#154 of 317 5yrs later... by gtp03daw Mar 14, 2008 (6:37 am)
So has anyone heard anything about those of us that had a total loss where GM did nothing ? They also denied my "mechanical failure" claim under my so called bumber to bumber warranty when it went up in flames in '03. And whats a "comming" recall in the link on # 151 ?   It's been almost 2.5 years since I notified NTHSA...
