Reported on July 31, 2007
| PONTIAC GTO 2006. 1ST INCIDENT HAPPENED WITH APPROX 4,950 MILES ON CAR. FRONT PASSENGER TIRE BLEW OUT WHEN I HAD JUST GOT OFF INTERSTATE (THANK GOD). THAT WAS FIXED BY DEALERSHIP AFTER MY CAR WAS PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY FOR APPROX 3 WEEKS WHILE DEALERSHIP GOT THE SPECS FROM GM TO RE-ALIGN THE FRONT OF MY CAR. 2ND INCIDENT HAPPENED AT OVER 16,000 MILES. PULLED OVER AFTER HEARING A NOISE. BACK PASSENGER TIRE WAS SEVERED AND A LONG PIECE HAD HIT MY FENDER WHEEL ALERTING ME TO THE FACT BEFORE THE TIRE BLEW OUT COMPLETELY. AFTER LOOKING AT THE OTHER BACK TIRE - I FOUND IT HAD SIMILAR WEAR PATTERN. BOTH WERE WARN ON THE INSIDE OF THE TIRE. DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THIS WAS CAUSED FROM A ALIGNMENT PROBLEM THAT HAD BEEN THERE SINCE THE BEGINNING. I AM NOW SCARED TO DRIVE MY CAR! WHO KNOWS WHAT WILL HAPPEN IN ANOTHER 16,000 MILES. *TR | |
