Pontiac Gto Suspension Front Safety Report | Dec 11, 2004
Reported on Dec 11, 2004
| AS A 2004 GTO OWNER I HAD TO REPLACE THE TIRES 3 TIMES PREMATURELY, 15,000-20,000 MILES ON A TIRE RATED AT 35,000 DUE TO FRONT END STRUT RUB. I HAD TO SPEND SEVERAL THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO FIX A PROBLEM GM CREATED. I HAVE BEEN TO GM DEALER WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY, AND THEY WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT THE SITUATION ,AND THAT EVERYTHING WAS IN SPECS. I LITERALLY HAD TO BUY A LIFETIME ALIGNMENT POLICY ON THE VEHICLE TO CONSTANTLY STAY AFTER THE ALIGNMENT SITUATION THAT WAS CAUSING STRUT RUB. I HAVE SINCE REPLACED EVERY BUSHING IN THE FRONT END WITH AFTER MARKET, AND THE UNAFFECTED REAR END), AND THE SHOCKS AND STRUTS TO CURE THE PROBLEM THAT GM REFUSED TO FIX. AFTER THE NEW SUSPENSION AND TIRES BOUGHT AT THE SAME TIME, AND OVER 5,000 MILES ON IT , I HAVE NO MORE PREMATURE TIRE WEAR AS OF THIS POINT. THE DATE BELOW WAS THE APPROXIMATE DATE I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE AS THERE WAS NO INCIDENT. *AK | |
