The Chevettes was noted for the bolt breaking that holds the crank damper in place. This let the damper walk off the end of the crank into the radiator. Taking both the radiator and crank out.

The Fiero was made from 2 cars. The front end/suspension came from the Chevette. The rear end/suspension came from the Citation. Low sales and Chevy high management is what killed the Fiero. Chevy hated the Fiero. They thought that it would take sells from the Vette. Pontiac management had their hands tied when they was developing the car by GM management.
