1985 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am review from North America

Doors, dash, and something in the trunk area rattle.

The car drives rough before it has warmed up.

Transmission had a leak when I bought it.

T-tops leak by windows.

I had a major brake problem when the rear brakes no longer worked, which wore out the front brakes until it broke the front brakes completly. ($700 to repair.)

Gasket in the engine was leaking radiator fluid. I had it fixed.

Heater core inlet tube broke, which leaked into the passenger side floor.

One of the rear spark plugs fell out.

Seats are starting to rip.

Center console cracked.

Rear spoiler material in peeling.

Turn signal light fell out.

The skirting that directs air to the radiator ripped off.

There in a buzzing noise that comes out of the speakers, and its pitch increases with the engine speed.

Cloth on the T-bar in falling off.

Emergency brake doesn't work sometimes.

Wires to the cruise control have broke.

Vents will not change for different settings (floor, defroster, etc.)

AC is not cold. It might just need to be recharged.

Water pump rusted through.

Alternator belt snapped.

Map light doesn't work.

Windshield washer pump was broken when I bought the car.

It still leaks radiator fluid.

When I first bought this car I thought it was going to be an awesome car. But I have had nothing but problems with it, and it has cost me a lot of money to keep it running.

However, it is a whole lot faster than my Probe was, although I got out done by a Duster.

The exhaust has a nice low roar to it, and it lets people know when I arrive.
