Pontiac Gto Suspension Front Safety Report | Apr 14, 2009
Reported on Apr 14, 2009
| 2006 PONTIAC GTO HAD TO HAVE ALL 4 TIRES REPLACED AS THE CAR HAS THE STRUT RUB PROBLEM THAT I HAVE HEARD AND READ ABOUT SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR. ONE OF TIRES DEVELOPED A SLOW LEAK AND I TOOK IT TO THE LOCAL DEALER WHERE IT HAS HAD ITS REGULAR SERVICE DONE. THEY CALLED ME OUT TO LOOK AND SHOWED ME HOW ALL OF THE TIRES HAD WEAR ON THE INSIDE AND ONE IN PARTICULAR WAS VIRTUALLY SHREDDED. I HAVE HAD FREQUENT ROTATIONS DONE ON THIS CAR AS A PRECAUTION SINCE LEARNING OF THIS PROBLEM. ALTHOUGH WITH EACH ROTATION I WOULD ASK THE DEALER IF THERE WERE ANY SIGNS OF THIS ABNORMAL TIRE WEAR AND THEY ALWAYS ACTED LIKE THEY NEVER HEARD OF SUCH A THING. IT IS OBVIOUSLY A DESIGN FLAW AS WHAT VEHICLE NEEDS ALL NEW TIRES EVERY 10-15 THOUSAND MILES BECAUSE OF INNER TIRE SHREDDING? I FIND IT HARD TO BELIEVE THAT THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL ON THIS AUTOMOBILE TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. I AM JUST THANKFUL THAT I DID NOT EXPERIENCE A BLOW OUT ON THE HIGHWAY BECAUSE OF THIS OBVIOUS DESIGN FLAW. *TR | |
