#10817699 | Fire
IN 2013, MY 2000 GRAND PRIX HAD SMOKE COMING FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT WHILE DRIVING DOWN A CITY STREET. WHILE STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT, FLAMES WERE THEN COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD AND THE WHOLE ENGINE COMPARTMENT WAS ON FIRE. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS CALLED AND HAD TO RIP OPEN THE HOOD WITH POWER TOOLS TO PUT OUT THE FIRE. A WEEK PRIOR I HAD AN OIL CHANGE AND TWO NEW FRONT TIRES PUT ON. THE CAR WAS A TOTAL LOSS AND WAS TOWED TO A SALVAGE LOT.
