Pontiac Gto Suspension Safety Report | Mar 23, 2007
Reported on Mar 23, 2007
| REPLACED 2 RIGHT REAR TIRES FROM SIDEWALL BLOWOUT. 2005 GTO WITH 25000 MILES, FRONT AND REAR TIRES HAD INNER WEAR. LEFT REAR AND RIGHT FRONT WERE CUT TO THE WIRE AND WERE ABOUT TO BLOW. HAVE PICTURES OF THE WEAR AND OF THE LACK OF CLEARANCE BETWEEN FRONT STRUT AND TIRE. DEALER TOWED VEHICLE TO THEIR SHOP. REPLACED ALL TIRES, BOTH REAR COIL SPRINGS,AND ALIGNED. NOTHING WAS DONE TO CORRECT FRONT OF VEHICLE. WHEN I PICKED UP THE VEHICLE FROM THE DEALER, I ASKED TO SEE THE CLEARANCE OF THE TIRES AND STRUTS ON A MODEL IN STOCK. CLEARANCE WAS LESS THAN ONE HALF INCH. THIS IS A MAJOR DEFECT THAT CAN HAVE SERIOUS CONSEQUENCES FOR DRIVERS AND THEIR SAFETY. GM SHOULD BE FORCED TO CORRECT THE ISSUE IMMEDIATELY AND NOT JUST KEEP REPLACING PARTS UNTIL THE WARRANTY IS UP. *JB | |
