1994 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am review from North America
"One of the sexiest cars on the road"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Headlight motor is making weird noise when shutdown. Needs to be replaced.
Left taillight bulb went out.
Driver side power window has to go down in sections, or it will stick. Probably have to be replaced soon.
Had it in second the other day, and heard a knocking noise when I got on it. Since that happened, ill probably never try shifting again.
This is probably normal, but when I started it a few days ago, when it was about 40 degrees, the car started to idle rough, but after a few minutes went back to normal.
Failed all 3 emissions test. I'm guessing it is a clogged converter, but who knows. I need to take it to the shop soon.
General comments?
This car has a few problems, but I love it so much. I get complements on it all the time, and the chicks love it. Over time though, I know I'm going to have to spend some money to get it back the way it came new. The car is in really nice shape, being 10 years old. I wash and was this beast 1 every few days. Hopefully this car will hold up for some years to come.
