The car had been setting for 10 days or so, when I tried to start it I heard a loud bang and I saw smoke. The intake manifold exploded and caught the engine on fire. My wife called 911 but I got the fire put out before the firemen got here.

For several weeks, the steering in my 99 pontiac grand prix has been failling while turning left at low speeds. Suprise, suprise!! Today, 7/13/03 I hit another vehicle while pulling into a car wash when I lost left turn power steering and could not avoid his car. I was turning off of a busy street and was almost rear ended as well. I am very angry, as this is the 5th time I was almost killed in my 1999 grand prix. The first 4 times were on the highway, when my car lost total engine power with no warning. After 6 weeks of having it in and out of a certified gm repair shop, and having a complete fuel system overhaul, the gm mechanic tore down everything under the hood to find that the fuel system sensor had never been attatched. Please advise on any legal action against gm that may me of benefit to me, as well as how to demand a recall on the 99 pontiac grand prix.
After running for a period of time vehicle will not restart; happened 3 different times in hot weather in past 4 months and will restart after sevearl hours on it's own. Pontiac dealers cannot "recreate " problem therefore, will not check why no fuel is getting to injectors. When roadside assist came they checked injections and was getting no fuel towed three times. I paid to check fuel lines and change fuel filter and battery which fuel filter did not have to be changed. Nor did the battery need to be changed.
While driving under 30mph engine check light came on as vehicle started to accelerate. Engine started to sputter and misfire, causing consumer to take vehicle back home. Vehicle would not restart due to engine locking up, and causing starter to completely fail. Dealer determined that intake manifold cracked. Please provide more information.
Vehicle stalled out and died without warning, vehicle was inspected,and fuel pump was replaced, however problem has not been corrected. *ak
