problem #1

Apr 282010

Firebird V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 76,130 miles

The problem with most firebirds, 1994-2002, is the use of DexCool antifreeze in the radiator. The problem is that the antifreeze will actually gel up and clog the radiator causing the engine to overheat and possibly cause further engine damage.
