| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I own a 2004 pontiac gto on tuesday 5-29-07 i was on the highway in the morning going to work when i heard a noise coming from the front end of my car it sounded like something plastic or rubber smacking against the front suspension of my car. the sound lasted a minute or two then quit so i stayed on the highway and continued to work upon getting to work i turned out my steering to the left to check the front end. what i saw was a split in the inside edge of my tire all the way down to the steel belts and the inside edge of my tire was worn from rubbing against the lower part of the strut. i also saw wear deep into the inside edge of my right side tire but it hasn't split like the left front. i know of many complaints about the gto tire/strut problem and as of today i picked up my car from the pontiac dealer service shop and they will not fix it because there is no recall as of yet on this problem. i bought this car less than a year ago used and when the car was reconed at the dealer i bought it from they installed 4 brand new bfg g-force 245/45zr17 tires as per factory tire specs the rear tires are like new but the fronts are trash and i have only put 10000 miles on the gto since buying it a year ago. *tr |
