We discuss the instabilities appearing in the cosmological model with a quasi de Sitter phase following from a fourth-order gravity theory. Both the classical equation as well as the quantization in form of a Wheeler - De Witt equation are conformally related to the analogous model with Einstein's theory of gravity with a minimally coupled scalar field. Results are: 1. In the non-tachyonic case, classical fourth-order gravity is not more unstable than Einstein's theory itself. 2. The well-known classically valid conformal relation is also (at least for some typical cases) valid on the level of the corresponding Wheeler - De Witt equations, which turns out to be a non-trivial statement.
