The trio joined together to call for action because their 2007 models were burned down while the children were inside.
But they were shocked when more than 5,000 people in the UK joined their Facebook campaign group Vauxhall Zafira car fire.
Gillian Eaton posted her Vauxhall Zafira car on Facebook group. Most of the people affected said that Vauxhall did not take responsibility for the fire, although the fire was in the car in the same way.
However, a spokesman for the auto giant earlier said it had now launched a full investigation.
Last month, Freemantle, a MS from Ivybridge, Devon, with her three children and her cousin\'s children at 2007 Zafira, flooded the car with black smoke.
Before it burned, the family managed to escape for a few seconds, leaving only one burnt --out shell.
The campaign, said three ladies, was meant to \"save lives\", not to get compensation, MS Freemantle said: \"We stopped outside the house to get ready to go out for dinner and my husband walked into the house with the car keys.
\"Then I saw steam coming out of the grill, and before the black smoke flooded the car, the passenger-side windshield began to heat.
We thought it was going to explode.
\"On June, a car from Zafria was posted on Facebook\'s Photo: Facebook, MS Whitley from Plymouth, Devon, and her husband did the same thing.

Hellewell MS from Preston, Lancashire, said that when their 2013 Zafira exploded, she and her husband and three children were almost killed.
Vauxhall is considering recalling some photos of Zafira cars: She said on Facebook: \"My husband is driving and I am by the passenger\'s side.
I jumped out and my husband turned on the heater and the windshield turned white right above the glove box.
\"I walked into the beautician\'s room with the dog, and then someone ran in and said a car was on fire with children inside.
I immediately thought, \"they must be dead\"
Terrible.
\"My husband opened the side and managed to take the children out.
Fortunately, the people in the cafe quickly brought the children inside.
All three women say the campaign is for \"saving lives\" and not for compensation.
