GM Recalls 207,000 Pontiac
Grand Prix and Buick Regals
 GM is recalling 207,000 Pontiac Grand Prix and Buick Regal
cars because of oil leaks that can cause fires and warning
owners to park the cars outside until parts become available.
The recall involves vehicles equipped with the V6 supercharged
3.8 liter engines:
- 1997 Buick Regal GS
- 1997 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP
- 1998 Buick Regal
- 1998 Pontiac Grand Prix
- 1999 Buick Regal
- 1999 Pontiac Grand Prix
- 2000 Buick Regal
- 2000 Pontiac Grand Prix
- 2001 Buick Regal
- 2001 Pontiac Grand Prix
- 2002 Buick Regal
- 2002 Pontiac Grand Prix
- 2003 Buick Regal
- 2003 Pontiac Grand Prix
Federal safety investigators say that GM reported that oil
can leak onto the exhaust system during hard braking and that
can lead to a fire. Reportedly 267 fires actually occurred.
For now parts are an issue and GM is telling owners they should
park their cars --- but not in garages or carports.
Now, folks, that's a warning indeed. Okay, they can catch
fire and we don't have enough parts so you should just park
it but park it outdoors so you don't burn your house down.
Kind of makes you wonder if the defective parts came from the
same company that sold Ford all those defective (and flammable)
cruise control switches.
