I was driving on the expressway and as I was exiting I noticed smoke coming from under the hood. As I pulled over to a side street the power steering went out, battery light and check oil lights went on and the car completely died. When I looked under the hood there was a fire. I have not had any problems with the vehicle prior but did take the car in a few months ago for GM recall 15757.

- Chicago, IL, USA

Our car burned up almost completely, starting in the engine area. The fire appeared after driving and parking the car. Policemen and firemen came to extinguish and said car was so destroyed any further investigation would be possible. We have photos of the car and other witnesses. After we had it towed and crushed, GM recall 15757 came out. However they are not applying this recall to our car. Do we have any rights?

I started smelling a strong gasoline smell - so opened the hood to check what was the cause. I took off the engine cover and discovered that the 3/8" quick connector at fuel rail was dripping fuel all over the intake manifold. Yikes!!! the potential for a fire is/was huge. I do not know how long this has been happening.

I recently received a recall notice from GM, recall# 15757, first week of March 2016 regarding the engine's front valve cover and gasket to be replaced with new parts due to drops of engine oil that may deposit on the exhaust manifold which could cause an engine fire. I called dealership and was told parts were still not available and I was placed on a waiting list. On April 9, 2016, my car started on fire due to oil leak. The car was parked for 5 minutes before smoke and fire started to come from under the hood. The fire dept. Did come out and put the fire out, however, the entire engine compartment is totaled. I contacted the dealership on April 11th, in which the dealership still did not have the recall parts available. I was given general motor's phone#, contacted them and explained the situation, in which we were told that someone would come out in 48 hrs to assess damage. However, on April 13th, I received a phone call from an advisor stating that further information is needed from me. No one has come out to assess damage as originally stated, as well, I had to email several pictures and paperwork that was requested. When I attempt to contact the advisor through email or phone, she does not respond to any of my inquiries. I explained we are in need of a rental since I'm out a vehicle, however, I was told that is not their concern, as well, it could take 20-30 business days to determine anything. I'm not sure if I should entrust GM to take care of this situation or get legal advice. I also have pictures available from my phone, however, the form would not allow me to upload due to the size.

We received a GM recall notice #15757 in December 2015 and again in February 2016, we contacted the local dublin ca dealer in mid March and was told parts are on back order and we would get a call when it. Today on April 12 I called again and "there's a part problem" and the parts are still on the way. I find this hard put to believe since the original December recall notice. Are we getting the stall around?
