| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: My 2000 pontiac montana started to shake and vibrate in the front end between 50-65 mph. with 66k miles and driven mainly interstate, something was happening with the front suspension. found both outer tie rod ends worn out with extreme play. only the tie rods were worn, nothing else in the front suspension. pontiac and my dealer seem to think that tie rod wear at 66k is normal wear! its hard to believe when i still have the original brakes. i am just glad that the tie rods did not separate since this would have been disasterous. other gm mini van owners should be aware of the obvious premature tie rod wear. its time to start shopping for my third set of tires. at 68k i am also using coolant, so i better take a number and have the intake manifold gasket replaced. thanks gm, i wish your quality and customer no service mirrored honda or toyota! |
