I am thinking about buying either a new Pontiac firebird or one that is only one or two years old and would like to know if anyone knows of any major defects with them. Please mail your responses to durxy!drb. If I get quite a few responses I will compile them and post them to net.auto. thank you -- Dave Burritt

Automatic transmissions have really been a sore spot in recent vintage Firebirds. Failures with less than 10,000 miles on the odometer have been common enough that GM has been buying such cars back from their disgusted owners for the full purchase price! Naturally, GM isn't advertising this policy, and only the REALLY determined shaftees receive such satisfaction... --Bob Tracy ...!ctvax!uokvax!rctracy
