Pontiac Grand Am Suspension Front Safety Report | May 25, 2008
Reported on May 25, 2008
| THE COIL SPRING ON THE STRUT ON THE FRONT OF A 1999 PONTIAC GRAND AM BROKE. THIS WAS REPLACED WITH A NEW SPRING ON BOTH SIDES OF THE CAR. IN TALKING TO MANY REPAIR SHOPS, THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS SERIES OF GM CARS. THIS INCIDENT HAPPENED AT LOW SPEED IN TOWN, BUT HAD IT HAPPENED AT HIGHWAY SPEED THE OUTCOME COULD HAVE BEEN A BAD WRECK. THE LOCAL SERVICE MANAGER AT THE PONTIAC DEALER STATED THIS WAS FAIRLY COMMON, BUT THEY WOULD ONLY PAY FOR REPAIRS IF THE OWNER HAD AN EXTENDED WARRANTY. I HAVE THE OLD PARTS IN MY POSSESSION. THIS WAS A CLEAN BREAK, NOT SOMETHING THAT WAS CRACKED FOR A PERIOD OF TIME. *TR | |
