The 1992 Pontiac Firebird has 3 recalls, including a fuel filler neck that can develop cracks or pinhole leaks, allowing gasoline and fuel vapor to escape and potentially ignite.
On vehicles equipped with the 4L60 automatic transmission, the shift control cable can separate from its conduit, causing a disconnect between the gear selector and the actual transmission position. This means the shifter can show Park while the transmission is actually in Drive or Reverse, creating a rollaway or unintended movement risk any time the driver steps out expecting the car to be stationary.
