What owners wrote

My car caught fire 6-5-03. General motors sent an investigator out. On 7-2-03 I received a call from GM. They told me the report was my problem they would not take any responsibilty for the fire. I drove my car aprox. 15 miles that morning to my kids daycare. I pulled up to the front of the daycare and cut the car off and it started smoking and flames came from under the hood. Everything under the hood is melted no brake lines, fuel line or wires. I have not done anything to the car but change the oil.

July 2003 Fire

There have been more than I can count on both hands to the incidents that this care has stalled. It happens unexpectedly and I never know when it is going to happen, but it always seems to happen when I am in the middle of traffic. So, I have to pull over and try and start the car. Which it will start then sputter and stall and die.
