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

Smelling gasoline when car was parked in garage. The smell was variable but seemed to be stronger when weather was hot. I checked the fuel injectors to be certain no O-ring was leaking. None were leaking but I noticed small amount of gasoline on the valve cover on the valve cover closet to the firewall. Checking I found that by depressing the "quick connect" between the fuel line and the fuel rail I could make a small amount of gasoline escape. Looking at the engine cover (large plastic cover with V-6 3.8L on it) that there was an indent in the insulation where this was pressing on the fuel line. I removed the cover and have driven for 1 week without the gasoline smell. I have ordered a replacement quick connect.

All I did was park my car in a hotel parking lot and went into the lounge. About 10 minutes later the intercom was saying a Pontiac was on fire. I went outside to find my car on fire under the hood. Fire department was notified and responded to put out the fire..the car was destroyed.

2000 Pontiac Grand Prix gtp began to smoke from engine compartment while driving in slow traffic. Pulled over and opened the hood to discover a small fire around the oil fill tube about the size on a baseball cap. Hood insulation on driver side was also on fire but had never been oil soaked? fire melted plastic cover and damaged some wires and modules as it spread to entire engine compartment in seconds, even after closing hood. Hood was again lifted approximately 1 minute from initial fire discovery and fire was extinguished quickly by passing truck driver with extinguisher. A few more minutes elapsed before fire department arrived it was then noted by myself that the gas line at the rear of the engine was still emitting a fine stream of gasoline as I had not yet turned the ignition off. It was also in this general location that the hood insulation material was burning (a non flammable material by itself). To date no repairs have been made as this happened yesterday 12/18/07.

My car caught fire 6-5-03. General Motors sent an investigator out. On 7-2-03 I received a call from GM. They told me the report was my problem they would not take any responsibilty for the fire. I drove my car aprox. 15 miles that morning to my kids daycare. I pulled up to the front of the daycare and cut the car off and it started smoking and flames came from under the hood. Everything under the hood is melted no brake lines, fuel line or wires. I have not done anything to the car but change the oil. The oil was last changed aprox. Two months before that. Cars are not designed to just catch fire. I put my kids and a daycare full of kids in jeopardy that day. Just to add a little to my complaint. I have left about 6 messages since July 3 for the GM rep, kevin drew, to call me without success. When I purchased my car it only had 51,000 miles. I had trouble with bill heard dealership from day I drove the car off the lot it had problems. It took 4 months (1) the pistons was making awful noise. (2) the security light was flashing (3) the cig. Lighter had a burning smell when pushed in. I have a copy of the complaints, findings and action taken on a service report provided by bill heard. In that report it states that they found burnt and melted wire they removed the wiring harness and replaced wires. I left a message for kevin drew asking him to call me because I know for a fact that the wire going to the fuse box was melted. Everything under the hood is melted no wires, brake line or fuel line exist anymore. The region of the fire is the area of all the wires, computer box etc. In the middle of the hood at the center up toward the top close to the windshield.. this happened at a daycare. I was parked no more than 3 feet from the building.
