Pontiac Gto Suspension Front Safety Report | Mar 12, 2009
Reported on Mar 12, 2009
| STRUT RUBBING ON INNER WALL OF FRONT TIRES. MY 2006 PONTIAC GTO HAS 28K MILES AND I HAD TO REPLACE ALL FOUR TIRES. EVEN THOUGH I HAD THE CAR SERVICED DIRECTLY AT THE DEALER SINCE THE ORIGINAL PURCHASE, THEY ONLY REPORTED A CONCERN WITH ALIGNMENT. COME TO FIND OUT THE ROOT CAUSE WAS A RUB ON THE STRUTS WHICH NOW REQUIRES ME TO REPLACE ALL FOUR TIRES. I HAD TO PARK THE VEHICLE FOR MONTHS TO SAVE ENOUGH FOR THE $900 REPLACEMENT. HAD THIS DONE TODAY ONLY TO BE TOLD THEY STILL RUB. I PLAN TO ADDRESS THIS WITH THE DEALER BIT DON'T EXPECT POSITIVE RESULTS. AFTER READING UP ON THIS FROM THE INTERNET IT SOUNDS LIKE I'LL NEED TO PURCHASE A CAMBER KIT ($350.00 RETAIL) PLUS INSTALLATION FEES AND RE-ALIGNMENT. THIS DESIGN FLAW SHOULD BE COMPENSATED BY THE VEHICLE'S MANUFACTURER NOT THE BUYER. APPRECIATE ANY ADVICE OR ASSISTANCE YOU CAN OFFER. *TR | |
