GM's response to the recall was do not park in garages or carports the car my catch on fire. I found this info after buying the car off of Craig's list.It is time for GM(Goverment Motors) to pay up for the other 200,000+ cars that have been effected by this issue.

Used to be a technician for GM, we loved them, we called them JOB SECURITY, they were always malfunctioning. Our favorite was the 3.1 and 3.6 piston slap, made over 6 figures that year.

To obama's credit the bailout of gm was a good idea. They have been doing better than the last 35 years of the company. And plus they repaid all of their money to the government.

If you are serious you are an idiot!

The Volt is on the same track, with the fire issue, so if are one of the 1200 that own a Volt, Dont park it in the garage, it will burn your house down!

Government Motors should be closed down.

Allow Ford and Toyota to make cars and trucks.

Every GM made vehicle has SERIOUS flaws making them dangerous to own. A friend bought a Yucon and the thing has so many oil consumption flaws there is a blog defining a complex procedure to follow in order to isolate the real issue. Turns out many engines have been replaced attempting to fix the issue and ended up with the same problem.

GM is incompetent!

Your probably right

Anyone interested in trying to get a class action lawsuit going against GM,Please contact me. We lost out 2000 Grand Prix resulting from an engine fire, also burning a garage. GM has denied any liability and therefore will do nothing. This happened 9/15/2010. The fire started within about 5mins of being parked. Lets try to get together and go after GM,this IS THEIR responsibilty!! Please contact us at starrr57@aol.com and put Fire in subject line please. Thank you.

Was there ever a class action suite filed?

Does anyone know if a class action suite was ever filed for the Grand Prix fires? My 2002 Grand Prix just caught on fire a few weeks ago 5 minutes after shutting off the engine. It was a total loss burnt to the ground....this is a big loss. I am just thankful it was not parked in my garage or by anything else at this time.

GM President Barrak Obama, AND USA President Barrak Obama directs YOU to buy a Volt..

No wait the Volt is being repurchased by GM because of fires.

Don't know what to tell you, maybe buy a Toyota??

This morning, our 2000 Grand Prix GT burned AFTER we had the recall service done well over a year ago at a Pontiac dealer.

Who the hell fixes spark plug retainers when the flaw is oil seepage from the manifold???

Still looking into potential class action litigation against GM, and I will update this post if I find any.

I have tell everyone that my initial interactions with GM were more then dissappointing. I somehow was able to reach a wonderful gentalman at GM headquarters and he was absolutely fabulous. So very helpful and deliagant in refunding my loss. Much thanks and gratitude to Sean Kelly ESIS/General Motors,LLC He was so professional and I retract any statements I had previously made concerning GM. Unfortunately I had initially contacted a few customer services representatives that didn't value the consumer it truely had no baring on the people running the show! Once more thank you for all your help.
Sincerely

Obama must put all the inexpensive customer service reps to try to chase off POed customers.

It's great you were satisfied, one of very few that have the patience to persue a solution from Government Motors.

you all have bad luck. im the original owner of my 97gp and ive never had a problem with fires, stalls, or anything like that. in fact right after i paid it off, i put $5,000 worth of performance modifications into it and that was roughly around 3yrs ago, still no fires. id definitely buy a gp again.

I have a 98 GTP and have never had any thing go wrong with it but the resin I'm righting you is to asked if you could give me some insight as to some good mods for my GTP
