SUSPENSION:FRONT:MACPHERSON STRUT
MYSELF ALONG WITH MANY OTHER 2006 GTO MANUFACTURED IN FEB 2006 HAVE LEAKY FRONT STRUTS AND POOR RIDE QUALITY. IT SEEMS THAT GM SHOULD BE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND PERFORM A RECALL TO GET THIS ISSUE FIXED. *JB

SUSPENSION:FRONT:MACPHERSON STRUT
I BOUGHT A BRAND NEW 2006 SPICE RED METALLIC PONTIAC GTO ON JUNE 30, 2006. TWO DAYS LATER WHILE BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY I NOTICED TWO SMALL PUDDLES OF OIL LOCATED NEXT TO EACH FRONT TIRE WHILE IT WAS PARKED. I NOTIFIED MY DEALER AND IT WAS CHECKED AND IT WAS DETERMINED THAT BOTH FRONT STRUTS WERE DAMAGED EITHER THROUGH SHIPPING OR JUST BAD EQUIPMENT FROM THE FACTORY. THE DEALER ORDERED NEW STRUTS BUT HAVE NOT RECEIVED THEM AS OF YET. *NM

SUSPENSION:FRONT:MACPHERSON STRUT
WITHIN A DAY OR TWO AFTER TAKING DELIVERY, I NOTICED FLUID LEAKING FROM NEAR THE FRONT (DRIVERS SIDE) TIRE. DEALER SERVICE CONFIRMED THE LEAK IS COMING FROM THE STRUT AND THAT THE PART WOULD BE REPLACED. PART HAD TO BE ORDERED AND I WAS TOLD IT WAS OK TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE UNTIL PART COULD BE REPLACED. OIL IS NOW ON MY GARAGE FLOOR AND THE CAR DOES NOT HANDLE AS WELL AS IT SHOULD. THERE HAVE BEEN MANY REPORTS OF A SIMILAR NATURE REGARDING FAILED/LEAKING STRUTS WITH THE GTO. I HAVE NEVER HAD THIS HAPPEN ON ANY VEHICLE I'VE EVER OWNED. *NM
