My door is falling off from the frame of the car. No accidents to the car. The window has had numerous problems. The gm body shop said they just had this same problem last week with another firebird. Gm has offered to pay 15% of the $982.00. I have found out that the doors are glued on all firebirds. I feel this is a major defect from the manufacturer. The problem has not been fixed.

Braking system failed while attempting to stop at 40-45 MPH. While braking, the pedal went to the floor and warning lights were noticed. This failure LED to a 2 vehicle accident where 1 person was possibly injured. The emergency brake was needed to slow the car, though the spin out as a result of the accident ultimately stopped the vehicle. After the incident, the ABS was inoperable tcs off??, and the brake warnings were lit and remained lit. The cause of the failure at this point is unknown and a determination should be made later in the week.
