1988 Pontiac Fiero Gt Coupe 2-door 2.8l on 2040-cars
Enterprise, Alabama, United States
|
The Good: Since the car is 26 years old , I had many components replaced to ensure better reliability.(new parts are listed in parentheses) * The car has the ORIGINAL 2.8L V6 engine that runs great at only 49,800 miles. (new plugs, plug wires and distributor cap, rotor and new starter) *The 3-speed automatic shifts smoothly and quietly every time. ( New Filter and upgraded torque converter lock valve) * The suspension is tight (upgraded with new front shocks, Rear struts, new front upper and lower A-frame bushings, new boots on upper and lower ball joints) and a four wheel alignment job from Firestone. Note the bushings weren't warn , but the rubber was dry. * This car drives and handles very good and turns heads, everything is stock with the exception of the 17" rims and low profile tires. The Low profile tires out perform the originals by far , but cause a little rougher ride. ( Rims , tires and alignment cost approx $2, 000) * The car has a new (catalytic converter, Oxygen sensor and the muffler shop made it so the exhaust system can be removed in several pieces by installing expensive flanges.) * Brakes ( 4 New slotted disk and brakes are new in front and good in back) * Air conditioning system upgraded to new high pressure Freon standard (New R134 Compressor, Dryer and expansion tube) cold air. * Fuel
system, (new fuel Tank,fuel pump/lines,
filter and new fuel gage sending unit in tank.)
Could be improved: 1. The car looks stunning, however the clear-coat has some hazing on the hood, tops of fenders roof and top of rear fenders. You may be able to use some product to make it go away. I have several pictures with it dry and several while washing the car and the water completely hides the fading. The Car still looks good but will eventually need painted! I'm asking, A lower price because of the paint. 2. The
car sat for several years and I have not driven it that much, therefore the
door locks and windows are stiff.
3. The
rubber on the outer part of the doors that wipes the windows are cracked and
will eventually need replaced. 4. The previous owners had an alarm system installed, which I hate and would eventually remove! Here is why, when the key is placed to start, the system goes through a check and then the starter kicks in 1-2 seconds later. I'm not a alarm specialist or I would have removed it by now. Plus if both door locks are not fully unlocked or locked the engine will not start. (it happened once until I figured it out.) 5. The Engine Temp needle fell off the other day. But still works. I guess this is common in the Fiero. The gage is about $70 at the fiero store. 6. The valve covers may drip just a tiny bit as I found a little oil spot on the garage floor after a month of sitting. Look at my other feedback and you will find that I try to be very honest. good luck I have $6,500 invested so my loss is your gain. Please don't hesitate to contact me!

NHTSA investigating 550k Pontiac G6 models, 320k Honda Odysseys
Mon, 10 Jun 2013According to two separate reports in The Detroit News, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is launching investigations into 550,000 Pontiac G6 (pictured above) and 320,000 Honda Odyssey (pictured right) models. The G6 models are all from the 2005 to 2007 model years, while the Odyssey minivans are from the 2003 and 2004 model years. The two NHTSA probes are not related.
In the case of the G6, this is an upgrade to an original investigation that started in February after NHTSA received "hundreds of reports" that the brake lights on these cars may malfunction. According to The Detroit News, the lights may come on when the brake pedal is not depressed, and likewise, the brake lights may not illuminate when the pedal has been pushed. General Motors was able to provide NHTSA with a significant number of warranty claims, including 1,100 reports that could potentially relate to this problem, one of which indicates a vehicle crash.
For Honda, the NHTSA probe concerns airbags that may deploy unexpectedly. The government agency received six complaints from 2003-04 Odyssey owners saying that the front airbags suddenly went off without a crash. The Detroit News reports that three of the six owners sustained injuries from these incidents. Additionally, NHTSA has received 41 complaints from owners saying the vehicle's airbag warning light had illuminated.
GM recalling 426,000 sedans over faulty transmission shift cable
Fri, 21 Sep 2012General Motors is recalling some 426,240 sedans that may have a faulty transmission shift cable, according to a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report this morning. The recall concerns a fault within four-speed automatic transmissions equipped on 2007-2010 Saturn Aura models, and 2008-2010 Chevrolet Malibu and Pontiac G6 models.
The report specifies that tabs on the transmission shift cable may fracture and separate. Such a fault could cause a discrepancy between the actual position of the transmission and the apparent position of the shift lever.
GM is currently working to notify owners of the vehicles in question, and dealers will check and replace shift cables free of charge. Scroll down to read the complete NHTSA report.
