On Sept 25 2015 I was involved in a auto accident. I had to brake hard. My car was not damage that bad but my car caught on fire later that day and totally burned. A total lost. Once I received the recall notice I realized that is why my car possibly caught on fire due to hard braking. I was approaching an stop light and a large box truck was moving in reverse quickly. All I could due was brake to try and stop so the truck would not hit me. The truck hit my vehicle. Damaging my front end a little. The truck actually rolled on top of my hood before coming to complete stop. I feel that my car caught on fire due to what the recall states. Recall # 15757 Pontiac Grand Prix 2000 [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
