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

BRAND NEW PONTIAC GTO WITH 300 MILES. OWNED 6 DAYS. BOTH FRONT SHOCK STRUTS LEAKING OIL ALL OVER THE PLACE AND MAKING A MESS. REPLACEMENT PARTS WILL MOST LIKELY TAKE WEEKS TO SHIP FROM AUSTRALIA.

#10161914July 9, 2006
SUSPENSION:FRONT:MACPHERSON STRUT
PURCHASED A NEW PONTIAC GTO, CAR WAS BUILT IN FEBRUARY OF 2006, TOOK DELIVERY IN LATE MAY. AFTER ~3100 MILES OF NORMAL DRIVING, A POPPING SOUND STARTED COMING FROM THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE. THE SOUND WAS CAUSED BY A FAILING MACPHERSON STRUT THAT HAS BEEN REPORTED ON OTHER GTO'S BUILT IN FEBRUARY 2006. *NM

#10161918July 9, 2006
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

FRONT PASSENGER STRUT IS LEAKING ALL OVER TIRE, INNER WHEEL WELL, AND BUSHINGS.

SUSPENSION:FRONT:MACPHERSON STRUT, SUSPENSION:FRONT
CAR WAS PARKED. AFTER STARTING THE CAR AND BACKING OUT OF THE SPACE THERE WAS A LOUD CLUNK. LOOKED UNDER THE CAR TO FIND THAT ON THE FRONT SUSPENSION, THE STRUTS HAD DUMPED THEIR OIL OUT (FAILED) AND HAD GOTTEN ALL OVER THE BUSHINGS WHICH CAUSED THEM TO ALSO GO OUT (FAILED). HAD TO DRIVE MY 3 WEEK OLD CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP (THEY WOULD NOT TOW IT) TO GET THEM TO LOOK AT IT. CHECKED OUT WHAT WAS WRONG AND SAID THEY WOULD ORDER THE PARTS TO FIX IT. FINALLY GOT THE CAR BACK 10 DAYS LATER WITH REPLACEMENT PARTS. *JB
