Pontiac G5 Suspension Rear Safety Report | June 01, 2011
Reported on June 01, 2011
| I RECENTLY TOOK MY 2007 G5 INTO A DEALERSHIP FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND MENTIONED THAT I HAD BEEN HEARING A VERY ANNOYING SOUND GOING OVER ANY IRREGULARITY IN THE PAVEMENT, ALSO SOUNDED LIKE THE SUSPENSION WAS BROKEN! THEY SAID THE CONTROL ARM AND BUSHINGS WERE WORN'. I SEARCHED AND FOUND NUMEROUS SIMILAR COMPLAINTS WITH THE G5 (AND COBALT) AND MY CAR HAS JUST 35K AND NEVER BEEN DRIVEN IN ROUGH CONDITIONS, MAINLY HIGHWAY DRIVING. I CHECKED AND WAS TOLD IT IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE , ONLY AN ANNOYANCE, BUT WILL BE TRYING TO VERIFY IT. THIS CONDITION HAS BEEN OCCURRING FOR A FEW THOUSAND MILES AND I WOULDN'T EXPECT THIS TYPE OF FAILURE AT THIS LOW MILEAGE.... SOUNDS LIKE THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING TO OTHER OWNERS TOO.... BUT FORTUNATELY FOR A FEW, IT WAS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY, MINE ISN'T. (I FOUND THE OTHER COMPLAINTS AT CARCOMPLAINTS.COM AND WONDER IF THIS IS A BROADER FAILURE. *TR | |
