Pontiac Gto Tires Safety Report | Feb 25, 2008
Reported on Feb 25, 2008
| LAST NIGHT, FOR THE SECOND TIME, THE INSIDE OF MY FRONT LEFT TIRE SHREDDED WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY TRAVELING AT AROUND 70MPH. BOTH TIMES THIS HAS HAPPENED, I WAS FORTUNATE NOT TO LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. IN RESEARCHING THE PROBLEM, I FIND THAT THERE ARE CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS ALREADY HAPPENING RELATING TO A DESIGN FLAW ON MY 2004 PONTIAC GTO THAT CAUSES THE FRONT TIRES TO RUB AGAINST THE SUSPENSION STRUTS. I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE TWO SETS OF TIRES BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM, AND THE RESALE VALUE OF THE GTO IS ALSO AFFECTED NEGATIVELY. *TR | |
