Grand Prix 6-cyl

  • 124,800 miles
My 2002 Pontiac Grand Prix with a 3.8 liter engine caught fire while parked in my driveway after a short trip. There was a recall on the car involving engine fires. I took the car to a GM dealer and had the recall work done on September 16, 2010. The car was lost due to the fire on February 22, 2011. I later found out that the recall for cars with supercharged engines included replacing the valve cover gaskets. If this had been part of the recall for my vehicle, I believe that the fire would have never happened.
