| 1998 | ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE | I HAVE A 1998 PONTIAC GRAND PRIX GTP THAT CAUGHT FIRE WHILE DRIVING YESTERDAY, 12/6/07. I HAD NOTICED NOTHING ODD OTHER THAN ON THE EVENING OF 12/5/07, MY CRUISE CONTROL CUT-OUT ON ME TWICE WHILE DRIVING HOME, WHICH I JUST THOUGHT OF AS ODD. 12 HOURS LATER, I WAS DRIVING TO WORK AND THE CAR STARTED STUTTERING. I THEN LOST ALL POWER AND PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, AS I LOOKED UP AFTER POPPING THE HOOD, I NOTICED FLAMES ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE CAR. AFTER A FEW MINUTES, LOCAL FIRE CREWS WERE ONSITE TO PUT THE FIRE OUT. THE WHOLE ENGINE COMPARTMENT MELTED AND THE CAR IS A TOTAL LOSS. I DON'T KNOW WHAT CAUSED THIS, BUT AM READING REPORTS OF 1999-2002 SUPERCHARGED GTP'S HAVING THIS SAME PROBLEM, BUT WANTED THE NHTSA TO BE AWARE OF THIS OCCURRING IN A 1998 VEHICLE. THE CAR IS TOTALED AND I AM QUITE FRUSTRATED. I NEVER THOUGHT THIS WOULD OCCUR IN A MILLION YEARS. *TR |
