Firebird

I have had three serious oil leaks with this vehicle which started when it only had 8,000 miles. In addition, the parking brake failed and the power windows broke. The rear bumper rusts after it rains because of the brake dust. You have to use rubbing compound once a week. Overall, the amount of problems have been exhorbinant and not what you would expect from a $28,000 vehicle.
