Pontiac Gto Tires Tread/belt Safety Report | Nov 29, 2006
Reported on Nov 29, 2006
| B.F. GOODRICH FACTORIES TIRES WERE SHOT AT 15,800 MILES ON AT 2005 LATE MODEL PONTIAC GTO. THEY WERE DANGEROUS AND THE MANUFACTURE AND DEALER CLAIMED ABUSE WHICH IS FALSE TO KEEP FROM HAVING TO REPLACE UNDER WARRANTY. I HAVE PHOTOS AND ONE TIME HAD THE BELT SHIFT AND BECOME COMPLETELY EXPOSED. ANOTHER WAS BALD ON ONE SIDE, BUT NOT THE OTHER. TWO OTHERS WERE ROUNDING AND FLATTENING IN VARIOUS SPOTS. IT APPEARS TO BE THEY ARE TRYING TO COVER UP A MAJOR DEFECT THAT MAY BE DANGEROUS AND COSTLY TO THEM MUCH LIKE THE FIRESTONE PROBLEM ON THE SUV'S A FEW YEARS AGO. *NM | |
