1986 PONTIAC FIERO THAT THE DEALER SAYS IS NOT IN THERE DATA BASE AND HAS NOT HAD THE RECALLS DONE TO IT I HAVE THE RECALL #S THE DATES AND A VERY DETAILED OUT-LINE OF THE RECALLS THAT WERE TO BE DONE. A MECHANIC LOOKED AT MY CAR AND THE TSB BULLITIONS I HAVE AND SAID THE CAR CLEARLY HAS NOT HAD THE RECALLS DONE. THE DEALER AND GM CLAIM IT'S UP TO THE OTHER ONE WHO HAS TO LOOK AT IT THE DEALER AT FIRST SAID THAT MY CAR WAS NOT INVOLVED. BUT WHEN I READ THE TSB TO HIM, AND GAVE HIM THE CAMPAIGN NUMBERS AND READ FROM THEM VEBATUM HE SAID THECOMPUTER ONLY GOES BACK TEN YEARS! AND I READ TO HIM "DEALERS ARE TO SERVICE ALL VEHICLES SUBJECT TO THS CAMPAIGN AT NO CHARGE TO OWNERS, REGARDLESS OF MILEAGE,AGE OF VEHICLE,OR OWNERSHIP, FROM THIS DAY FORWARD."...

APPARENTLY, THIS CAR IS INFAMOUS FOR FIRES, BUT I WAS NOT WARNED UPON PURCHASE 4 MONTHS PRIOR TO THIS, PLUS I HAD SPENT CLOSE TO $400 ON REPAIRS AFTER PURCHASE AND IT DID PASS SAFETY INSPECTION 2 WEEKS PRIOR TO BURSTING INTO FLAMES
