I have a 2000 Pontiac Grand Prix that has been recalled three times-recall #15757. I called your hotline yesterday and got the most unemphatic response in regards to the seriousness of our only car being a fire hazard. The fact is, I have stage II lung cancer and need a safe car to drive to dr's appointments regarding my condition. We also rent a garage for $75 a month, which we obviously do in order to park our car! your brilliant hotline spokeswoman (makayla, ext. 5913737, 1-866-790-3600) told my girlfriend (as does the recall) not to park the fire hazard in-or-around garages, other vehicles, as well as other fire risks. She actually told my girlfriend that we should "park the car down the block", due to the fact that we live in an apartment complex. Are you kidding me? she also said that her husband owns the same model of vehicle, and that he hasn't had any problems with his. By your own data, roughly 1,350 fires have resulted from this dangerous piece of equipment. I will not put my, or any other person's, life at risk. GM doesn't even have the part(s) manufactured to fix the problem. They need to replace my motor, period! it seems obvious that your spokesmen and women are trained to discourage people from making complaints, therefor leaving the car owners' lives in jeopardy. You would think you would have learned after all of the fatalities regarding tires a few years ago, I am quite sure they were treated with the same lack of remorse during their experience as well. By the way, I am going to send the receipts from my landlord for my garage rental, it makes no sense to pay for a garage I can't use-due to GM's (and the NHTSA's) lack of good faith. If I don't hear something very soon, I am going to use social media to explain how ridiculous your "recall" protocol seems to protect GM, instead of consumer safety.

I drovefor a short time, less than a 10 mile distance, then pulled into a friends driveway. When I put the car in park I noticed smoke coming from under the hood, so I opened the hood, and there were flames coming from the front of my engine. So I put the hood down, but did not close it while I grabbed the fire extinguisher. When I opened the hood the flames had tripled, in a matter of seconds, consuming the more than half of the front of the engine. I was able to extinguish the fire without calling the fire dept. And without causing any damage to the garage it was parked in front of.

There are many safety concerns on this vehicle. The first concern is the smoke that comes from under the hood because of the oil leaking on the engine while in motion. To the point I have had to use a hose to cool down the motor. Oil poured out with the water. I have had the prior recalls done and still had leaking after the so called recall was done in 2010. I was told by castle Pontiac (North riverside, il) there was no further repairs they could offer. Even though I showed them the oil continuing to leak after the so called recall was completed. The second concern is the head lamp assembly that is foggy looking causing the vehicle to have poor lighting. The next concern is the suspension that is literally falling apart. I have also had to have the head gasket changed on this vehicle and the transmission had to be rebuilt. Also the tail lamps retain water every time it rains & the passenger & drivers side doors fill with rain. Like I said there are many safety concerns on this vehicle. I can provide photos to the correct parties & would be willing to consider my vehicle being used to be investigated to create remedies for these safety concerns as my small child & myself travel in this vehicle. When I talked to GM customer service today I was told the vehicle is safe to drive yet I am sure if the owner of GM had this vehicle they would not deem this vehicle safe. Thank you in advance for taking time to read my concerns.

We purchased this 2000 Grand Prix GT from another individual in July 2015. Engine caught fire on 10/20/2015 while parked in the driveway at our residence. Neighbors alerted us (5-10 minutes after returning home from a five mile drive to enjoy a 35 minute meal) that the car was on fire. Flames were evident below the engine. We were able to control the fire with help from our neighbor, using two home extinguishers. The troy, oh fire dept responded; ensured the fire was completely out and car was safe to leave (cut wires on battery). Discovered GM recall no. 09047 & GM recall no. 07035 as well as NHTSA recall #07E-21 indicating issues which may result in an engine fire.

I was driving along, and suddenly without warning, the engine died...naturally the power steering and power brakes didn't work, but I managed to get the car over to the curb. I tried to start it and it started just fine, so I took it home, I was nervous after that driving it ! because after that it continued to stall several more times when I was driving it, I never knew when it would happen. So I couldn't go out of town in it that's for sure ! I spent quite a bit of money for mechanics to work on it, but since it didn't show a code of any kind, no one could fix it for me. I loved the car, but I traded it off because no body could fix it. I just can't believe that it was not included in that recall for the ignition switch. Just thought I would let you know about this...thanks
