| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: In reference to recall campaign pe07010. "strut rub" wear marks have been observed on the strut towers of my 2004 pontiac gto. the front two tires are rubbing against the strut towers while the vehicle is in motion. at approximately 20,000 miles i heard a "popping" sound coming from the front suspension on several different occasions. nothing was done at that time because the symptom was not able to be reproduced and no actual problem had been observed. at 25,000 miles the original tires had to be replaced due to unexplained irregular wear. at 45,000 miles while upon brakes service clear wear marks were observed on the strut towers. on an irregular basis at speed the vehicle exhibits aberrant steering behavior. e.g pulling to the left or right for now clear reason. the front tires of the vehicle are abnormally worn on the inner treads from hitting the strut towers. the proposed repair at this time is: 1) replacement of the gas struts. 2) replacement of the stock wheels with narrower wheels sized 235/18. 3) replacement of the possibly failed strut bushings. *jb |
