“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. …”
NHTSA complaint #10621526, filed 2014-08, 133,000 miles“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??”
