2004 PONTIAC GRAND PRIX Complaints

MY CAR CAUGHT FIRE IN SEPTEMBER OF 2013. AT THE TIME NO RECALL HAD BEEN ISSUED BUT NOW THERE IS. WILL I BE COMPENSATED FOR THE LOOSE OF MY CAR. OR AM I JUST SOL BECAUSE THEY HAD NOT ISSUED THE RECALL YET.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 PONTIAC GRAND PRIX. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 75 MPH, THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL NOISE AND THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED. IN ADDITION, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED BUT WAS STIFF AND FAILED TO RESPOND. AS A RESULT, THE VEHICLE FLIPPED TWICE AND LANDED INTO A DITCH. WHEN THE CONTACT EXITED THE VEHICLE, IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE ENGINE WAS OFF. THE VEHICLE FAILED TO RESTART. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER SUSTAINED A HAND INJURY THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE VINE WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V4000000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE STREET AND TURNED LEFT MY CAR SLOWED DOWN LIKE IT WANTED TO STOP THEN THE AC WAS TURNED OFF AUTOMATICALLY AND MY CAR STARTED RUNNING HOT..I WENT TO O'REILLY'S & THEY DIDN'T KNO WHAT WAS WRONG..THEY SAID EVERYTHING LOOKED FINE UNDER THE HOOD AND NOTHING WAS LOW

I FIRST NOTICED THAT WHEN TURNING THERE WAS A GRINDING NOISE. I TOOK IT TO A SHOP AND WAS TOLD THE FRONT PASSENGER CONTROL ARM NEEDED REPLACED. I RECENTLY TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR THE IGNITION SWITCH RECALL AND FOUND OUT THAT THE SPEED HARNESS NEEDS REPLACED AND THAT IS WHAT'S CAUSING THE LIGHT FOR ABS/TC TO BE SERVICED. I HAVE RESEARCHED BOTH OF THESE ISSUES WITH THIS SPECIFIC VEHICLE AND IT APPEARS TO BE A WIDESPREAD ISSUE. WHAT CONSTITUTES A RECALL?

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.
