1994 PONTIAC FIREBIRD

IM NOT SURE WHOM TO TALK TO? I BOUGHT A CAR FROM THIS GUY, THE PICTURE HE SENT ME WASNT THE VECHILE I BOUGHT. I PAID HIM HALF DOWN 750.00 AND FOUND OUT EVERYTHING THAT WAS WRONG WITH THE CAR. IT LOOKS LIKE THE VIN # HAS BEEN CUT OUT OF THE DASH, THE NUMBERS ON THE DOOR HAS BEEN PILLED OF AND PUT BACK ON BUT THERE OVER LAPPING, THE AIR BAGS WIRES HAVE BEEN CUT, THE STEERING WHEEL WIRES ARE HANGING OUT THE DASH IS ALL CRACKED, AND EVERYTHING HAS BEEN TAKEN OFF THE CAR. IT LOOKS NICE ON THE OUTSIDE. I TOLD HIM I WANTED MY MONEY BACK THE NEXT DAY AND TOLD HIM WHY? WHERE DO I GO TO HAVE THIS CAR LOOKED AT BECAUSE I DONT THINK IT IS WHAT IT SAYS? AND I DONT WANT TO GET IN TROUBLE FOR DRIVING A CAR THAT HAS MESSED UP VIN NUMBERS. I TOLD THE GUY I WAS TAKING HIM TO COURT, AND HE ALREADY SPENT MY MONEY AND DONT HAVE A DIME. AND IS CALLING AND THREATEN ME HE WQANTS HIS CAR OR THE REST OF THE MONEY. I DONT WANT THE CAR. I WANT MY MONEY BACK, COULD YOU HELP ME ?

GAS CAP FAILURE IN NORMAL USE ON 1994 PONTIAC FIREBIRD FORMULA (V8 ENGINE ). (1) THREADED PORTION OF GAS CAP, PART THAT THREADS INTO THE FILLER TUBE, BECAME SWOLLEN THRU NORMAL USE (EXPOSURE TO NORMAL GASOLINE VAPORS), TO THE POINT WHERE THE CAP WOUOLD NO LONGER THREAD PROPERLY AND SEAL. (2) SINCE THE CAP COULD NOT BE PROPERLY THREADED INTO THE FILLER TUBE, THE GAS TANK LOST PROPER PRESURIZATION/VACUUM AND THIS AFFECTED GASOLINE VAPOR RECOVERY FROM THE TANK AND ULTIMATELY, WHILE THE ENGINE WAS RUNNING, FROM THE VAPOR CANISTER. GASOLINE VAPORS WERE PRESENT IN MY GARAGE. SINCE THE SEAL WAS NOT CONTACTING THE FILLER TUBE, THERE MIGHT HAVE BEEN SOME POSSIBILITY OF GASOLINE SPILLAGE IN THE EVENT OF A ROLLOVER. (3) REPLACED THE CAP, DRIVEABILITY AND GAS MILEAGE INCREASED. CAN NO LONGER SMELL GASOLINE IN MY GARAGE. THIS COULD BE A PROBLEM IN THAT THE GAS CAP, MADE OF SOME SORT OF PLASTIC IS AFFECTED BY NORMAL GAOLINE VAPORS (THIS WOULD INCLUDE THE METHANOL ADDITIVE THAT IS FOUND AT

NHTSA#93-V-199-000: FUEL LINES ON THESE VEHICLES MAY HAVE BEEN MISROUTED AND MAY CONTACT THE "AIR" CHECK VALVE. THE HIGH TEMPERATURES FROM THE "AIR" CHECK VALVE COULD ALLOW IT TO MELT THROUGH AND DAMAGE A FUEL LINE. CONSUMER HAS THE SAME PROBLEM. *AK HOWEVER THIS VEHICLE WAS NOT RECALLED DUE TO VIN. *AK

T-TOP FLEW OFF ON I-95. THANKFULLY DID NOT HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE WHICH WOULD HAVE BEEN DISASTROUS AT THAT SPEED. HAD DRIVEN OVER 40 MILES AT HIGHWAY SPEED SINCE LAST TIME TOP WAS OFF, SO SOMEHOW IT UNLATCHED ITSELF. *AK

WHILE DRIVING AIR BAG LIGHT ILLUMINATES ON DASH. LIGHT CONTINUOUSLY STAYS ON. VEHICLE WILL BE TAKING TO DEALER. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY FURTHER INFORMATION.*AK

APPARETLY A FUEL LEAK IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT CAUSED A FIRE, VEHICLE WAS A TOTAL LOSS. *AK

HEADLIGHT DOORS MAKE LOUD NOISE WHEN TURNING ON OF OFF HEADLIGHTS. *AK

NO SUMMARY LISTED FOR ABOVE VEHICLE. *AK

CONSUMER STATES THAT THE WIDE TIRES EQUIPPED ON THIS VEHICLE CAUSED 2 ACCIDENTS IN WHICH VEHICLE FISH-TAILED AND CONSUMER LOST CONTROL RESULTING IN A CRASH, ON ONE OCCASION CONSUMER HIT HIS HEAD, BUT WAS NOT INJURED, BOTH ACCIDENTS OCCURRED IN SNOWY, WET ROAD CONDITIONS. (TIRE MAKE/MODEL NOT PROVIDED) *SLC

STRONG FUEL FUMES INSIDE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT WHEN CAR HAS BEEN OFF FOR NON-SPECIFIC TIME. PROBLEM COMES AND GOES. NOTICABLE WHEN GETTING IN THE CAR TO START AND GO. SOMETIMES SO STRONG BOTH WINDOWS HAVE TO BE PUT DOWN IN ORDER TO BREATHE. IT GOES AWAY ONCE THE CAR IS RUNNING AND AIRED OUT. THIS CAN HAPPEN ONCE IN A DAY, OR WEEK, OR SEVERAL WEEKS, OR IT CAN GO ON ALL DAY, THEN NOT AGAIN FOR A PERIOD OF TIME. OR HAPPEN SEVERAL TIMES IN A WEEK. THE GAS CAP IS TIGHT AND A VACUUM SOUND IS RELEASED WHEN THE CAP IS LOOSENED. THE SMELL IS NOT OBVIOUS OUTSIDE THE CAR.

IT TAKES 3 TIMES BEFORE I START MY CAR SO WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT? *AK

THE ABS DO NOT LOCK UP SOMETIMES WHEN I SLOW DOWN AT AN INTERSETION. THE DOOR SKINS ON BOTH DOORS HAVE BECOME SEPARATED SEVERSAL TIMES WHICH MAKES THE CAR DOORS NOT SHUT ALL THE WAY WHICH HAS ALMOST CAUSED ME AND OTHERS OUR LIVES. THE POWER WINDOWS AND LOCKS ALWAYS BREAK SO THAT I CAN NOT OPEN MY DOOR OR WINDOWS THEY ALSO COME OFF TRACK . THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS SCRATCH THE WINDSHIELD SO IT HAS TO BE REPLACED AND THEY DO NOT WIPE THE WHOLE WINDSHIELD WHICH LEAVES BLIND SPOTS IN MY POINT OF SIGHT CAUSING ME TO PULL OVER TO NOT CAUSE RECKS.

DRIVING ON A HWY IN TEXAS MY FRONT DRIVER SIDE TIRE THREW IT'S TREAD. THIS WIPED OUT THE FRONT QUARTER OF MY CAR, AND LEFT STREAKS OF RUBBER DOWN THE LENGTH OF THE CAR. A WEEK AND A HALF LATER A SECOND TIRE OF THE SAME KIND HAD A PROBLEM. THIS TIRE EGGED ON THE TREAD OF THE TIRE. I REMOVED THE TIRE AND TOOK IT TO A DEALER WHO SAID IT WAS A BUSTED STEEL BELT, BUT HE ALSO WENT ON TO SAY THAT HE COULD NOT DO ANYTHING FOR ME. THE NEXT DAY WHILE SITTING IN MY CAR THE EGG BUSTED AND SEPARATED THE TREAD ON THIS TIRE SIMILAR TO THE FIRST. CAN YALL LOOK IN TO THIS AND TELL ME WHAT STEPS I NEED TO TAKE I RECOVERING SOME OF THE MONEY THAT I AM PUTTING OUT TO HAVE THIS DAMAGE FIXED? THANK YOU FOR ANY HELP AND/OR INFORMATION THAT YOU CAN PROVIDE.( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: P21560R16 )
