“As this car was being driven down the highway, about 10 minutes into my drive, smoke started coming from the vehicle, I pulled over, a passer by ran over to me telling me to get out of the vehicle that flames were shooting out of the bottom.

Gm refused to recall this vehicle or to take any responsibility.”

“I started having issues with my car stalling, there was no acceleration and the car was shaking. When the car was stopped, there was also shaking.

I pumped the gas peddle in an attempt to regain any response, after several pumps the engine rpms increased drastically to 3000 without upshifting at proper time and the vehicle surged ahead. Odometer reading 2376. …”
