I purchased my 2000 pontiac grand am used with 27000 miles on july of 2001. In october of 2001 I had my first brake job, february 2002, july 2002, march 2003 brakes checked on 2 other occasions for noise. Car was serviced in march 2003 for brakes and alignment - 5 weeks later car caught fire driving in traffic. The smoke was coming from under the hood, the fire dept. And police were on the scene in less than 10 minutes - the car was totaled. Cause is under investigation.
