Complaints on fileComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

I HAVE A 1984 FIREBIRD THAT MY FRIEND GAVE ME WHICH HAS BEEN SITTING IN STORAGE FOR MANY YEARS. I FOUND OUT THAT THERE WERE RECALS ON MY VEHICLE AND CALLED THE DEALER. THEY SAID THAT SINCE MY CARWAS SO OLD, THEY DON'T HAVE ANY RECORD OF ANY RECALLS. I CALLED PONTIAC CUSTOMER SERVICE'S 800 NUMBER, AND THEY TOLD ME THE SAME THING. BASICALLY, SINCE THEY HAVE NO RECORD OF ANY RECALLS FOR MY VEHICLE, THAT THERE IS NOTHING FOR THEM TO FIX. SO BASICALLY, MY CAR IS TOO OLD SO THEY WON'T FIX ANY RECALLS, SINCE THEY DON'T KNOW OF ANY. I TOLD THEM THE RECALLS ARE LISTED ON YOUR SITE, BUT THE CUSTOMER SERVICE REP WAS NO HELP AT ALL. *AK
