engine fire by chrissy35

I have a 2007 g6 .It caught fire last week after driving 15 miles. I have 14000 miles on it. bought it new. Pontiac will not give me a rental, even though it is still under warranty. They will not even let the dealer look at it. They said it will take over 10 business days before they even call me, to let me know when they will said a team down to the dealership to look at it themselves. I believe the car is totaled, at least by the way the engine looks now. All the wires are burned up and everything else is warped and melted together. It was a great car until this happened and we had not had any problems with it at all until this happened. Pontiac really dropped the ball on this one. I am very disappointed with the way they are handling this.I called corporate to find out why I am not getting a rental and they wouldnt even take my call. I have tried talking to customer service(about 15 times) and they just give me the run around. Anybody got any ideas what legal routes I can take?

I also had a 2007 G6 that this past weekend started on fire. I was driving less than ten miles when it occurred. The entire car was melted and the car insurance has deemed it totaled, but is still investigating. You may try to talk with the car insurance and see if they can find the source of the damage and it might be covered.

I agree! Have your insurance take a look and give their recommendation as to what it is deemed. That way you have that in writing too!

This is an easy fix. Should take 10 minutes.
 
Pull back the carpet in the trunk that covers the back of the rear light.
You will see two nuts that you can easily get to and remove. After you remove those nuts, the rear light can be easily removed and you can change out the bulb.
 
Remember, avoid touching the new light bulb with you hand, use a cloth or the oils on your hand may cause it to burn out again.
 
After you have replaced the bulb put the rear light back in place and snug up those two nuts. Finally, put the carpet back in place and you're done!
 
All of this work is done "behind the light". You do not remove any lenses, etc.
 
Bulbs can be purchased at your local parts store for just a few bucks. Good luck.
