SUSPENSION:FRONT:MACPHERSON STRUT
I NOTICED ALL TIRES WERE WORN ON INSIDE PAST THE TREAD AT 14,000 MILES ON CAR. I REPLACED ALL 4 TIRES AND TOOK THE CAR FOR ALIGNMENT. MECHANIC POINTED OUT THAT THE FRONT TIRES WERE HITTING THE STRUT MOUNTS WHEN HITTING A BUMP WHEN SPRINGS COMPRESSED OR DURING HARD CORNERING. A GROOVE WAS ALREADY WORN IN MY NEW FRONT LEFT TIRE. ALIGNMENT WAS WITHIN SPECS. I WENT TO DEALER AND THEY SAID THAT MORE CAMBER WOULD KEEP FROM RUBBING. DEALERS ALIGNMENT READINGS WERE DIFFERENT THAN ALIGNMENT SHOP. I HAVE SINCE DISCOVERED MANY OTHER 2004-2006 GTO OWNERS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

TIRES
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 PONTIAC GTO. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE DRIVERS SIDE REAR TIRE BLEW OUT. THE FAILURE DID NOT CAUSE ANY DAMAGE, BUT THE DEALER STATED THAT THE REMAINING THREE TIRES WERE ALSO GOING TO BLOW OUT. THE TIRES DISPLAYED CORDS AND AN ALIGNMENT WAS PERFORMED AT 15,000 MILES. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 23,000.

SUSPENSION:FRONT:MACPHERSON STRUT
PREMATURE TIRE FAILURE. FRONT TIRES RUBBING THE STRUTS NEAR THE TOP. CAR HAS 36,000 MILES ON IT. 10 TIRES PURCHASED, FRONT END HAS BEEN ALIGNED BY DEALER 7 TIMES (AT MY EXPENSE) IN LAST 22,000 MILES TO CORRECT. I AM AWARE THAT THIS ISSUE EXISTS WITH THIS CAR AND CLOSELY MONITOR THE TIRES AND REPLACE THEM WHEN THE RUBBED AREA GETS VISIBLY WORSE.

TIRES:SIDEWALL, TIRES:TREAD/BELT
I TOOK THE 2004 GTO TO DEALER FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND TIRE ROTATION TO COLONIAL TIRE NEAR MY HOME THEY FOUND THE RIGHT FRONT INSIDE OF THE TIRE WAS WORN DOWN TO THE BELTS AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED IMMEDIATELY. ALSO, THEY FOUND A REAR TIRE MISSING ABOUT 3" OF TREAD AND THAT REQUIRED REPLACEMENT. I HAVE NOT READ THAT THIS YEAR AND MODEL GTO HAD A STRUT PROBLEM THAT CAUSED IT TO RUB AGAINST THE FRONT TIRES, AND THAT THE TIRES CHUNKED EASILY. THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT OR INJURY INVOLVED. IT COST ME $437. *AK

SUSPENSION:FRONT
AS A 2004 GTO OWNER I HAD TO REPLACE THE TIRES 3 TIMES PREMATURELY, 15,000-20,000 MILES ON A TIRE RATED AT 35,000 DUE TO FRONT END STRUT RUB. I HAD TO SPEND SEVERAL THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO FIX A PROBLEM GM CREATED. I HAVE BEEN TO GM DEALER WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY, AND THEY WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT THE SITUATION ,AND THAT EVERYTHING WAS IN SPECS. I LITERALLY HAD TO BUY A LIFETIME ALIGNMENT POLICY ON THE VEHICLE TO CONSTANTLY STAY AFTER THE ALIGNMENT SITUATION THAT WAS CAUSING STRUT RUB. I HAVE SINCE REPLACED EVERY BUSHING IN THE FRONT END WITH AFTER MARKET, AND THE UNAFFECTED REAR END), AND THE SHOCKS AND STRUTS TO CURE THE PROBLEM THAT GM REFUSED TO FIX. AFTER THE NEW SUSPENSION AND TIRES BOUGHT AT THE SAME TIME, AND OVER 5,000 MILES ON IT , I HAVE NO MORE PREMATURE TIRE WEAR AS OF THIS POINT. THE DATE BELOW WAS THE APPROXIMATE DATE I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE AS THERE WAS NO INCIDENT. *AK

TIRES:SIDEWALL
I AM AN OWNER OF A DEFECTIVE 2004 PONTIAC GTO. I AM ALSO AN AUTOMOTIVE DESIGNER AND ENGINEER. MY WIFE AND I FIRST LEARNED OF THE POTENTIAL FOR THIS PROBLEM ALONG WITH MANY OTHERS THROUGH OUR COMPANY OWNED WEBSITES. WWW.AEDCENTRAL.COM. PROPER ROTATION TECHNIQUES WERE USED ETC TO INSURE THIS WAS NOT AN ISSUE WITH OUR VEHICLE. UNDER MY FIRST INSPECTIONS THIS PROBLEM WAS NOT DETECTED. YESTERDAY MY, WIFE AND I WERE DRIVING IN THE 2004 PONTIAC GTO IN THE RULE AREA, CALIFORNIA MOUNTAINS, AND DISCOVERED THIS POTENTIAL PROBLEM IN THE MOST FRIGHTENING MANNER. WHILE DRIVING AT THE POSTED SPEED LIMIT 55 MPH THROUGH CURVES IN THE MOUNTAINS AND VEHICLE HAD ALMOST DRIFTED RIGHT OFF A CLIFF'S EDGE. REALIZING THAT WE WERE HEADING IN THIS DIRECTION , OFF THE CLIFF, I WAS FORCED TO ENGAGE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE AND SLIDE THE VEHICLE AWAY FROM GOING OFF THE CLIFF. TWO LIVES COULD HAVE BEEN LOST DUE TO THIS ENGINEERING OVERSIGHT. THE OUTER RUBBER LAYER ON THE INNER EDGES OF THE FRONT TIRES STARTED TO ROLL OFF THE INNER SUB-TRAIT, THUS ALLOWING AN UNCONTROLLABLE LATERAL SHIFT IN THE CAR'S VECTOR/DIRECTION. RIGHT AND LEFT INNER SIDEWALL SECTION OF BOTH FRONT TIRES WERE CLEARLY FRICTION-CUT OR RUBBED CLEAN THROUGH FROM CONTACT WITH THE BOTTOM OF THE SPRING PAD ON THE LOWER END OF THE STRUT ASSEMBLY. THE PACKAGING TOLERANCE COMPLIED WITH THE FACTORY TIRE CHOICE HAS CLOSED THIS REQUIRED SPACE TO AN UNSAFE DIMENSION AND WITH TIME, BOUND TO AN EMINENT PRE-MATURE COMPONENT FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE PONTIAC DEALER , STILL UNDER WARRANTY, AND WE WERE TOLD THIS WAS TIRE WEAR AND NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME , AND AM LOOKING FORWARD TO YOUR REPLY.

SUSPENSION:FRONT, WHEELS
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

TIRES:TREAD/BELT, SUSPENSION
REFER TO CLAIM # 10116796, 2004 PONTIAC GTO TIRE CONTACT WITH SUSPENSION HAS CAUSED FRONT TIRE FAILURE WHICH IS A RISK TO HIGHWAY SAFETY. ALL TIRES AND WHEELS ARE OF ORIGINAL OEM SPEC. AFTER REPLACING FRONT TIRES ONCE THE SECOND FRONT SET BEGAN TO DETERIORATE. INITIAL DEALER VISIT TO QUESTION TIRE WEAR SAID THERE WAS NO PROBLEM. (2.22.07) I PULLED TIRES AND INSPECTED MYSELF AND BROUGHT PICTURES OF CONTACT POINTS WHERE TIRES RUBBED PAINT FROM STRUTS. (3.1.07) THEY THEN SAID THEY NEEDED SPECIAL PERMISSION FROM ZONE REP TO ALIGNMENT FRONT END. THREE THOUSAND MILES LATER THE TIRE FAILED LAST NIGHT. THERE IS A CUT IN THE EDGE OF THE TIRE AND BECAUSE OF TIRE WEAR THE CORDS HAVE SEPARATED. THE CORDS TEARING FROM THE TIRE WERE CONTACTING BRAKE HOSES AND ANTI-LOCK SENSORS AND CAN RISK BRAKE FAILURE. CONTACTED PONTIAC TO FILE COMPLAINT AND THEY PROVIDED #. THEY HAVE ASKED ME TO RETURN CAR TO DEALER FOR SERVICING. ALL 4 TIRES ARE WEARING ON THE INSIDE EDGES AND WILL NEED REPLACEMENT. DEALERSHIP MADE NO RECOMMENDATION FOR TIRE REPLACEMENT? *JB

TIRES, SUSPENSION:FRONT
CAMPAIGN # PE07010 FRONT TIRES WERE RUBBING THE STRUT HOUSING AND WEARING PREMATURELY AND UNEVENLY. TIRES WERE REPLACED AT ~18,000 MILES AND A FRONT-END ALIGNMENT WAS PERFORMED. THE NEW TIRES ALSO RUBBED THE STRUT HOUSING AND WORE PREMATURELY AND UNEVENLY AND WERE REPLACED AFTER 10,000 MILES. SPACERS WERE PLACED BETWEEN THE WHEEL AND BRAKE ROTOR TO STOP THE TIRES FROM RUBBING THE STRUT HOUSING, BUT THE REAL PROBLEM SEEMS TO EITHER BE A DESIGN FLAW OR SUSPENSION PARTS WEARING PREMATURELY. *JB

SUSPENSION, TIRES
I PURCHASED A 2004 PONTIAC GTO AND PERFORMED ALL NECESSARY MAINTENANCE, SUCH AS TIRE ROTATION. THE INSIDE WALLS OF THE FRONT TIRES HAVE BEEN DAMAGED FROM RUBBING OR STRIKING AN OBJECT INSIDE THE WHEEL WELL. IT APPEARS THAT IT IS RUBBING THE FRONT SUSPENSION. UPON CLOSER INSPECTION, ALL 4 TIRES SHOW THE SAME WEAR, BECAUSE OF THE TIRE ROTATION. FIRST NOTICEABLE INDICATION THAT THERE WAS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THIS VEHICLE WAS A VIBRATION IN THE STEERING WHEEL. THE CAR HAS ONLY 25,000 MILES WITH REGULAR USAGE. *JB

SUSPENSION, SUSPENSION:FRONT:MACPHERSON STRUT
SUSPECTED STRUT RUB HAS WORN THE INSIDE EDGE OF DRIVER'S FRONT TIRE BALD. ONLY DRIVER'S FRONT TIRE IS AFFECTED, AND THIS OCCURRED WITH ONLY 12,000 MILES ON TIRES. PROBLEM WAS DISCOVERED IN NOVEMBER 2006, TIRE WEAR WAS NOT VISIBLE WHEN TIRES WERE ROTATED IN APRIL 2006 (4,000 MILES EARLIER). AN ALIGNMENT PERFORMED IN DECEMBER 2006 SEEMS TO HAVE PREVENTED FURTHER TIRE WEAR. *TR

TIRES:TREAD/BELT
MY 2004 GTO-I PURCHASED NEW IN 12/04. TOOK IT TO DEALERSHIP FOR WARRANTY WORK AT 2880 MILES, AND THE DEALERSHIP PERFORMED AN ALIGNMENT. THE CAR NOW HAS 18634 MILES AND NEEDS 4 NEW TIRES. THE BELT IS SHOWING ON THE RIGHT FRONT AND IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THE PONTIAC DEALERSHIP, CENTURY BUICK/PONTIAC), AS WELL AS GM INSIST THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO-IT' IS NOT A WARRANTY ISSUE,JUST NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. I BABY THIS CAR AND KNOW FOR A FACT THAT THESE TIRES,ACCORDING TO THE B.F. GOODRICH CUSTOMER REPRESENTATIVE THAT I TALKED TO TOLD ME ONE COULD EXPECT 30000 TO 40000 MILES. I TOOK THE CAR TO TIRE KINGDOM, AND THEY SAID SOMETHING WAS RUBBING ON THE TIRE TO CAUSE THIS PREMATURE AND UNUSUAL WEAR. I NOW KNOW FROM RESEARCH OF MY OWN THE GM PUT LARGER TIRES ON THE 2004 GTOS ,AND SINCE THEN HAS SUPPOSEDLY FIXED THE PROBLEM ON THE 2006 VEHICLES. .THIS DOESN'T SOLVE MY PROBLEM, AND I DO NEED NEW TIRES, BUT BECAUSE OF THE STRUT IS RUBBING AGAINST THE NEW TIRES THE SAME PROBLEM WILL OCCUR AGAIN. SHAME ON GM AND PONTIAC FOR DECEIVING ME AND THOUSANDS OF OTHERS. NOT ONLY DO THEY EXPECT US TO PAY FOR THEIR MISTAKE, BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY,THERE IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AS WELL. PLEASE MAKE THEM DO THE RIGHT THING.*AK

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 PONTIAC GTO. WHILE SURVEYING THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE STRUTS WERE RUBBING AGAINST THE TIRES. THIS FAILURE CAUSED THE TIRES TO WEAR OUT TO THE WIRE. THE TWO FRONT TIRES WERE REPLACED, AND 3,000 MILES LATER THE TIRES BEGAN TO WEAR OUT AGAIN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO FOUR DEALERS, AND NO ONE COULD EXPLAIN THE TIRE WEAR. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 22,000, AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 18,000.*AK

TIRES:SIDEWALL, SUSPENSION:FRONT:MACPHERSON STRUT
HAD NOISES COMING FROM FRONT SUSPENSION, TOOK VEHICLE TO GM DEALER THEY REPLACED STRUT AND DID ALIGNMENT UNDER WARRANTY. BUT HAD TO REPLACE FRONT TIRES ON MY OWN WITH LESS THAN 30,000 ON THE TIRES. THE SET I REPLACED ON THE FRONT HAD BOTH COME IN CONTACT WITH THE STRUTS AND WORE THE INSIDE OF THE SIDEWALL OUT, CUT A GROOVE INTO THE DRIVER' S SIDE THAT BLEW THE TIRE OUT. THE TIRES WERE REPLACED AT 36,000 MILES, AND NOW HAS 8, 000 MILES ON THEM AND WERE SHOWING THE SAME KIND OF SIDEWALL WEAR TO THE FRONTS. HAD THE FRONT OF THE CAR ALIGNED AGAIN AND IT WAS TO SPECS. NO WORN OUT SUSPENSION PARTS WERE FOUND. THE TIRE STORE HAD NOTICED THIS BEFORE ON OTHER VEHICLES THE SAME AS MINE, AND HAD THEM CHANGE TIRE SIZE TO GIVE THE TIRES CLEARANCE FROM THE STRUTS. SO AGAIN ANOTHER TIRE CHANGE.*AK

SUSPENSION, TIRES:SIDEWALL, TIRES
I DROPPED OFF MY 2004 PONTIAC GTO AT THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP ON ABOUT 3/21/07 FOR A NUMBER OF WARRANTY ISSUES. ONE OF THE "ISSUES" TO BE CHECKED WAS A SLIGHT VIBRATION IN THE STEERING WHEEL. THE DEALERSHIP STATED THE PROBLEM WAS DUE TO WHEEL ALIGNMENT AND ALL FOUR TIRES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I DON'T DRIVE THE CAR IN INCLEMENT WEATHER, AVOID POTHOLES, AND THERE WAS NO PULLING TO EITHER SIDE. AS I HAD ONLY 15,589 MILES ON THE VEHICLE, I DECLINED THE ALIGNMENT & TIRES WHEN CALLED BY THE SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE. UPON PICKUP, THE REP INDICATED THE TIRE WERE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND POINTED OUT HOW THE STEEL BELTS WERE SHOWING ON THE INSIDE OF THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE. THE REP INDICATED THAT TIRE REPLACEMENT ON THIS VEHICLE WAS COMMON FOR THAT MILEAGE. RESEARCHING ON THE INTERNET DISCLOSED THESE TIRES HAVE A 35,000 WARRANTY AND THAT THERE HAD BEEN OTHER COMPLAINTS RELATED TO PREMATURE TIRE WEAR ON 2004 AND 2005 GTOS. COMPLAINTS HAVE BEEN FILED STATING THE TIRES WERE RUBBING THE STRUTS, PRIMARILY FRONT LEFT, CAUSING THE PREMATURE FAILURES. TODAY, MARCH 30, I PULLED THE FRONT LEFT TIRE OFF THE VEHICLE TO LOOK AT THE TIRE AND STRUT. THERE ARE OBVIOUS WEAR MARKS ON THE STRUT AND A GROOVE CUT INTO THE INSIDE OF THE TIRE. ALL FOUR TIRES HAVE EXCESSIVE WEAR ON THE INSIDE DUE TO REGULAR TIRE ROTATION. IT APPEARS GM MISALIGNED THE WHEELS AT THE FACTORY AND INSTALLED TOO LARGE OF TIRES CREATING A SITUATION OF INADEQUATE SPACING BETWEEN THE STRUTS AND THE TIRES. I HAVE REQUESTED GM RECTIFY THE SITUATION AND AM WAITING FOR ITS REPLY. I AM FILING THIS COMPLAINT WITH NHTSA BECAUSE THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN THAT MAY RESULT IN FATAL ACCIDENTS DUE TO TIRE BLOWOUTS CAUSED BY INACCURATE ALIGNMENT AND INSUFFICIENT CLEARANCE. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE AND REQUIRE THE MANUFACTURER TO RECALL 2004 AND 2005 GTOS AND RECTIFY THIS DANGEROUS SITUATION. *JB
