#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?

#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...

Replying to: gtp03daw (Mar 14, 2008 6:37 am) the NTHSA contacted me and has done nothing. It has been 2 years since my grand prix burned. My brother works for a GM dealership and he told me this morning the only ones they are recalling are the supercharged grand prixs. Mine wasn't supercharged. I want to know what they are going to do about those of us who have already lost our vehicles.
