Consumer Description

TODAY ABOUT 15 MINUTES AFTER PARKING MY 2000 PONTIAC GRAND PRIX (GTP - SUPERCHARGED), IT WAS IDENTIFIED BY A PASSERBY AS SMOKING AND ON FIRE. BY THE TIME THE FIRE DEPARTMENT COULD PUT IT OUT, THE CARE WAS DESTROYED. IN LOOKING ONLINE THIS IS CLEARLY A MANUFACTURER DEFECT (LITERALLY HUNDREDS OF REPORED FIRES). I AM GLAD TO SEE THE INVESTIGATION INTO THIS ENGINE FIRE PROBLEM - BUT AFTER OVE A DECADE OF REPORTS, ITS CLEAR THAT THIS HAZZARD HAS BEEN LONG IGNORED AND COULD COST LIVES IN ADDITION TO PROPERTY. *CN
