Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Own a 2004 pontiac gto. took my car in for a noise in the front end area. everytime i went around a corner slowly i could hear a rubbing noise. and sometimes when i would back out of the parking space i hear a loud grinding noise and the steering wheel would jump out of my hands. i took the car in to my gmac dealers service department to have a look. the mechanic told me that the strut was rubbing on my tires. we looked at the tires on my front end and there were groove marks all along the radius of the tire. some chunks of tire were taken out and some of the steel belts were showing through. he told me i was lucky to catch this when i did or i could have had a blow out at any time. i had to replace all four tires because they had been rotated a couple of times all ready. the back tires weren't as bad as the front but of course you can't just get two new ones. this tire purchase came out of my pocket because the mechanics told me there was nothing they could do. i have pictures of my struts and you can clearly see where they were rubbing on my tire. *jb updated 10/10/07 *tr
