    Crap, I remember hearing of this:

    In March of 2008, GM announced a plan to recall all 1997-2003 Grand Prix models with the supercharged 3.8 liter engine (GTP and GTX models) due to a problem which causes fires in the engine compartments of these vehicles. Over 230 fires were reported. This recall will affect over 200,000 vehicles. GM sent a letter to owners of these vehicles on March 13, 2008, instructing owners of these vehicles not to park in garages or carports until the problem is resolved. [2]

    So has anyone here heard of what is going on with this? I always part in the garage.

    I guess i better run my VIN # and see what i find out.

    I've been smelling a strong odor of gas too at times. no leaks present that i can see. I really need to get on the ball and figure out the problem.
