1987 Pontiac Fiero Owner Complaints

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. I CONTACTED A DEALERSHIP WHICH LOOKED UP THE NHTSA RECALL BULLETINS 88-C-23 AND 88-C-24 WHICH AFFECTS THE 1987 FIERO V6 REGARDING ENGINE FIRES BUT SAID THAT SINCE THE FIERO IS TOO OLD THE VIN DATA IS NO LONGER IN THE GM DATABASE THEY DON'T HAVE TO DO THE RECALL WORK. I REALIZE IT IS AN OLDER CAR BUT IT HAS NEVER BEEN WRECKED OR TOTALED. I TOLD THEM THAT IF THEY COULD GIVE ME THE RECALL PARTS I WOULD DO IT MYSELF, BUT THEY WANT O CHARGE ME AN OUTRAGEOUS AMOUNT OF MONEY FOR PARTS THAT I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO PAY FOR. MY CAR HAS CLEARLY NEVER HAD THE RECALL WORK DONE, IT HAS NONE OF THE RECALL REPLACEMENT PARTS IN IT. ALL I WANT IS FOR GENERAL MOTORS TO HELP ME FIX THIS PROBLEM. *TR

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?? *TR

WHILE ATTEMPTING TO DO SOME WORK ON SAID VEHICLE I BEGAN TO JACK IT UP WITH THE SCISSOR TYPE JACK PROVIDED BY THE MANUFACTURER. AFTER RAISING THE VEHICLE BODY ABOUT 3 INCHES THE SCREW THREAD ON THE JACK STRIPPED OUT OF FITTING IN THE JACK DROPPING THE VEHICLE. WHILE NO ONE WAS HURT OR DAMAGE DONE I FEEL THIS A DANGEROUS SITUATION. HAD THE VEHICLE BEEN HIGHER OR ONE OF THE TIRES REMOVED WHEN THE JACK COLLAPSED INJURY COULD HAVE OCCURRED.
