NHTSA complaint: 1999 PONTIAC GRAND PRIX — ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING:FRONT UNDERHOOD
THE EVENT LEADING UP THE FAILURE WAS I DROVE IT. THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG HERE. WHEN 25+ CARS BURN DOWN FOR NO REASON. WHAT DOES IT TAKE FOR PONTIAC / GM / GOVERNMENT AGENCIES TO ACKNOWLEDGE A PROBLEM AND REIMBURSE PEOPLE FOR THEIR LOSS? DEATH? THERE HAVE BEEN TOO MANY PONTIAC - GRAND PRIX -GM 3800 SERIES ENGINE FIRES. ALL I DID WAS PARK MY CAR AFTER DRIVING AND WITHIN 5 MINUTES OF PARKING MY CAR IN FEB OF 2003 IT BURNED TO THE GROUND. THERE WERE NO MALFUNCTION INDICATIONS, NOT OVER HEATED AND IGNITED WHILE I WALKED AWAY. FIRE MARSHAL AND INDEPENDENT INVESTIGATOR SAID THE FIRE ORIGINATED IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT, NEAR THE DRIVERS HEAD LAMP AREA. IT HAD A BUMPER TO BUMPER GM POLICY IN EFFECT AS WELL AS FULL INSURANCE. PONTIAC LAUGHED WHEN I CALLED. THE GM INSURANCE UNDERWRITER CALLED ME AN IDIOT AND HUNG-UP. THEN MY INSURANCE COMPANY TRIED TO HAVE ME ACCUSED OF ARSON. EVEN THOUGH THEIR INVESTIGATOR COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING....WHY? TAKE THE PUBLICS MONEY AND AT THE FIRST SIGN OF TROUBLE HIDE BILLION DOLLAR COMPANIES BEHIND POLITICIANS AND THE LAWS AND AGENCIES DESIGNED TO PROTECT US? *NM
