Recall to my 1986 pontiac fiero (vin# 1g2pf3795gp23433) was never completed during the lifetime of the vehicle. This was a serious recall, as it involved a possibility of engine compartment fire. Gm recall number 88-c-24a. I recently purchased this vehicle on 6/21/2006, unaware that the recall was never done. I tried to get pontiac to cover this recall but they refuse. For my safety, i'm moving forward and paying for the recall to be done for my safety and my family. I would like some sort of assistance from pontiac.

They responded by saying its up to the dealer. We cant make them look at your car . Then i called the dealer back and he said the problem is if they do the work, gm may not pay them for work performed. Called back pontiac cares they said it is up to the dealer to take care of it. I said i was going to contact the nhtsaand file a complaint and gm said go ahead.so this is where im atany help would be greatly neededas the car has the potential for engine compartment fires!! thank you for your time david w andregg. *recall 89v232.

Emergency brake will not keep car from rolling away.i got a recall on it.pontiac said they would fix it anytime in the future that i wanted because the car was being saved as a collectable.they said that because it was safety related there was no time frame.now they are trying to avoid fixing the problem.
When hand brake is applied nothing happens.tt
4 speed shifter assy will not engage back up light switch and is hard to shift into reverse gear at times.i have replaced shifter twice, this being the 3rd one for the car.each time the failure has been due to premature wear on two rivits coming loose on forward right side of assy and the subsquental wear of shift egagement arm mechanism for reverse gear.unless you hold the gearshift arm in the full revearse position, you will not have any backup lights.at times the shifting mechanism will jam and you cannot shift .
The metal in the locking portion of the seatbelt snapped and it flew off and smacked me in the face while i was driving.it was the driver's seatbelt and the plastic casing aroud the belt broke when it did this.
