Recall N140574, case #[xxx] on 2/7/19, my son's car got stuck 2 blocks from home on a residential street. The Grand Prix was driven there to see if he could be pushed out, and got stuck - along with 4 other cars. We tried to push the car out, but it wouldn't move. We left the car running while trying to push the other vehicles. While walking from the car, we heard popping sounds, and saw a flames under the hood - passenger's side. My friend reached in and shut it off. I called the police. Fire trucks put out the fire, and a tow truck was called to get the car off the snow route and taken to an accident impound. The next day, I called GM and was assigned a case. A week later, I was assigned a pac unit rep, to investigate my case. I have many emails and pictures following my case. GM has provided a lot of misinformation, lack of communication, and no problem resolve. There were issues involving the title, but I resolved. I had to take the pictures for the investigation, even though I was told reps would be sent over. I went to a local dealership, where the service department tried to contact the pac unit. They also did not respond to him. After many visits to gateway dealership and assistance getting my information to somebody with General Motors, it was determined the recall caused the fire. Oil dripped on the manifold. My car still sits in the impound at $30 a day. I have left numerous messages and emails asking for updates and resolve. The last I was told is that GM would repurchase my car, and send the paperwork to sign. That was 2 weeks ago! the local service rep had to stop helping me due to a job change, so I am left not knowing what is happening. The pac and GM customer service are not returning calls or responding. Can someone please help?? [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

I sat locked in to my safetybelt until the construction worker down roadpulled me out to safety. Such a mils hit. Blew my airbags.. in return, damaged my windshield, dash, and, steering column. I was turning into a bank parking lot. Considered a private lot.

On thanksgiving day 2014 my car cough on fire 10 minutes after my daughter and I got out of the car. I walked into a family members house and heard what sounded like a shotgun go off within about 5 to 10 seconds later another. I went outside to see what was going on to find my car engulfed in flames. We immediately called 911. The car was parked near a building structure with 4 or more vehicles parked inside. I quickly tried to remove my important property, pocketbook, and grabbed a water hose to try to keep the flames away from the structure as much as possible. The entire front compartment, motor mount and engine melted, was burned to the ground. The inside dash and floorboard was melted with large holes burned in them, and both front tired exploded and entirely melted as well. I had just left my house where the car could have easily been parked in my garage and set the entire house on fire. I have tried to stay in contact with GM for almost a year. They refused to return my phone calls after the initial two, telling me it would take a few weeks, for 6 months. They now refuse to help me in any way. I will never park a car in an attached garage to my house ever again in fear of my family's safety. I researched this car for recalls to find that there were thousands of recalls for this exact problem up until 2003 models, also to find that this issue had continued in the 2004 models with no recalls and fear the safety of others with these cars. GM needs to take responsibility for their mishaps and take safety seriously.

Within 10 minutes of arriving to my place of work, the Pontiac caught fire and the fire completely burned the engine compartment resulting in a total loss. 10 days after the fire, I received GM safety recall 14574 indicating the possibility of an engine compartment fire. When contacting GM, I am told there is nothing they can do for me since the car is no longer in my possession. This is extremely poor customer service and support for a problem they are aware of.

Mailing christmas packages and stopped to fill up with gas. Went inside to use restroom, came back out and as I approached the car, I smelled an unusual odor. Got in, started it, noticed smoke coming up on outside of window on passenger side. Since I was parked next to the gas pumps, I elected to put it in drive and pull forward away from people and gas pumps, yelled at employees to call fire dept. As by this time the smoke was coming through the vents into the inside of the car. By the time the firemen arrived, the front of the car was engulfed in flames (I took 3 pictures to show progression of the fire) that was so hot that parts were melting onto the asphalt. The firemen had to use a crowbar to open the hood to get to the fire. I think that the car should have been included in the recall of the 2003 Pontiac Grand Prix as the fire happened exactly as others describe - no problems running, no indication of trouble by way of warning lights. I'm just thankful that I didn't pull it into our attached garage at home.

Son was driving car and hit another car head on. He received concussion and broken foot. He is not sure what happened to cause him to go left of center, air bags did not deploy and car was totaled. This was actually 2nd time car veered off for no reason. First time car hit a curb and blew a tire. No explanation as to why this happened, then car was drove until the serious head on crash, now that recalls are being made public about ignition issues, we feel like this caused both wrecks.

Dash board is cracked on right and left hand side near front windshield.

- Cidra, PR, USA

When it rains the floor board in the front and back on the passenger side gets soaked. I can not figure out where it is coming from as the ceiling is not wet. It only occurs on the passenger side. It is not just damp but completely soaked with some standing water.

- Janesville, WI, USA

After a rain, both the front and rear passenger side floors are soaked with water. The raised portion under the seat remains dry. The ceiling area around the moon roof is completely dry. The carpeting leading down to the floor (console covering, area below the doors, area under the dash) are all dry. Only the lowest portion of the floor is wet, and it is completely soaked. It leads me to believe the water enters from either at the base of the windshield where the plastic cowl is separated from the glass, or in the roof-body seam on top of the roof where the forward edge of the roof meets the top of the door jam. I have not taken it into the dealer yet, but plan to. In the meantime, I shop-vac'd the water out as best I could and keep it in the garage. I'm concerned because there are electrical cables under the front carpet and they are wet.
