Pontiac Gto Suspension Front Safety Report | Aug 18, 2008
Reported on Aug 18, 2008
| I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF A 2006 PONTIAC GTO WITH 17 WHEELS. THE STRUTS RUBBED THE FRONT TIRES UNTIL A CHUNK OF RUBBER AND METAL COILS WERE LOOSE SWINGING AROUND BEHIND MY TIRES. BOTH OF MY FRONT TIRES HAVE TO BE REPLACED, EVEN THOUGH THE RIGHT TIRE HAS A LOT OF TREAD LEFT, BECAUSE THE STRUT RUB HAS EATEN ALMOST ALL THE WAY THROUGH THE TIRE. I WAS LUCKY I DIDN'T HAVE A BLOWOUT, BUT I NOTICED IT IN TIME. PONTIAC WILL NOT WARRANTY ANYTHING, ONLY OFFERING ME A FREE ALIGNMENT IN WHICH THEY TOLD ME THEY WERE GOING TO ADJUST TO THE MAXIMUM NEGATIVE CAMBER TO TRY TO MOVE THE TIRES AS FAR AWAY FROM THE STRUT AS POSSIBLE. I HAVE LESS THAN 24 THOUSAND MILES. I HAVE HAD STRUT PROBLEMS BEFORE. ONE SIDE HAS BEEN REPLACED 2 TIMES AND THE OTHER SIDE ONCE, NOT FOR STRUT RUB. THIS SUCKS. *TR | |
