The feiro was totaled this car spun out so quickly while driving straight.

I was told that the front suspension was changed the next manufacture year of what my car year was 1996 so 1997 they fixed the problem with hydroplaning. I have researched an I have talk to a lot of people on feiro forums confirming this to be a terrible problem an could be fatal!
I have owned this car since new and never received a recall notice from gm. I see in your database that there have been 4 recalls issued.
I am both complaining and requesting help. I have a 1987 pontiac fiero v6 which was never taken in for recall work and as a result has severe overheating issues and will occasionally have an issue with small amounts of oil hitting the exhaust headers. Saw the recall on the nhtsa website so I tried to call general motors but they said that their computers no longer have records of cars as old as mine and therefore they couldn't help me. I contacted a dealership which looked up the nhtsa recall bulletins 88-c-23 and...

88-c-24 which affects the 1987 fiero v6 regarding engine fires but said that since the fiero is too old the vin data is no longer in the gm database they don't have to do the recall work. I realize it is an older car but it has never been wrecked or totaled. I told them that if they could give me the recall parts I would do it myself, but they want o charge me an outrageous amount of money for parts that I shouldn't have to pay for. My car has clearly never had the recall work done, it has none of the recall replacement parts in it. All I want is for general motors to help me fix this problem. *Tr
Tl* the contact owns a 1984 pontiac fiero (n/a). The contact stated that the head bolt would become separated from the engine whenever the vehicle was started. The failure caused oil to leak onto the manifold and engine block. In addition, the oil warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the problem. The approximate failure mileage was 51,000.
I called pontiac today about a recall they issued these cars. According to the document they sent there dealership cars my car falls in this recall and they are stating they have no recalls on this car. How is this possible, I know this is a older car but this can still lead to a serious matter of why they did the recall an engine fire!! I take this very serious and I want to get this resolved. The car shows no signs of any recall being completed. What can I do to get this resolved?? *Tr
A friend was driving my 1984 pontiac fiero when the engine suddenly caught fire. After an investigation by the local fire department, they determined an oil like substance was sprayed on the manifold. My friend was arrested for arson & I was arrested for criminal solicitation. After going through the court procedures and being convicted of a felony I received a recall letter from pontiac recalling my car for possible engine fire. The car was already gone though & I never received any compensation and have had a felony record following me for all of these years! I want something done to help in this situation. *Tr
