What owners wrote
There was a loud boom and flames came to the windshield from under the hood. I pulled the car over and jumped out to safety. The engine burned and the front of the car was destroyed. Everything under the hood was destroyed. The brakes were also destroyed. The ignition didn't work but I was able to get the key out. There was no power the car.
I was driving my 99 grandprix gtp that I bought about 3 weeks ago from a car dealer. I was driving around and braking pretty hard with lots of stop and go traffic. I then later went home and parked the car in the drive way. Well I moved it out of the drive way to in front of the house. About 10 mins later I heard cars outside it was 3am I ran to tell my friends people were messing with the car but then when we all returned to the window my car was on fire.
