SUSPENSION:FRONT
BUY NEW 06 PONTIAC GTO, 3 DAYS LATTER DRIVE CAR TO SALT LAKE CITY, GET THERE AND HAVE OIL ALL DOWN BOTH SIDES OF CAR AND OIL DRIPPING FROM FRONT WHEEL WELLS,CANT SEE OIL SOURCE SO WE TURN AROUND AND HEAD HOME. FIRST CANYON WE HIT THERE WAS BUMPS IN ROAD, FRONT TIRES START BOUNCING AND CAR SLIDES SIDEWAYS RIGHT OFF THE ROAD, WE GOT THE CAR TO A STOP WITHOUT HITTING ANYTHING, IT WAS LATE SO WE DECIDED TO TRY AND CONTINUE CAUTIOUSLY, THAT'S WHEN WE NOTICED THE BOUNCE IN THE FRONT END AND REALIZED WE NO LONGER HAD SHOCKS, ONLY SPRINGS IN THE FRONT END. WE MADE IT HOME SAFELY AND CONTACTED THE DEALER, I HAVE BEEN GETTING A RUN AROUND FROM THEM EVER SINCE, I ARGUED WITH THE SERVICE MANAGER FOR A LOANER VEHICLE AND HE INSISTED THE CAR WAS SAFE TO DRIVE, THE STRUTS HAVE TO COME FROM AUSTRALIA AND ARE ON BACK ORDER SO THERE'S NO TELLING WHEN THEY WILL BE HERE, AFTER RESEARCHING THIS PROBLEM ON THE INTERNET I FIND THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH ALL NEW GTO'S, SEE LS2GTO.COM. *NM

BOTH FRONT STRUTS ON THE CAR HAVE FAILED CAUSING OIL TO LEAK ALL OVER THE FRONT WHEEL WELL AND DESTROY ANY RUBBER IT COMES IN CONTACT WITH. THE SUSPENSION IS NOT WORKING AND THERE IS A VERY LOUD CLANKING COMING FROM THE FRONT END WHENEVER ANY UNEVEN SURFACE IS TRAVELED ON. THE FRONT END TENDS TO BOUNCE OFTEN AND EVEN DURING HARD BRAKING. *NM

ONE WEEK AFTER OWNING VEHICLE, NOTICED LEAK SPOTS ON DRIVEWAY. AFTER RESEARCHING ON INTERNET CAR FORUMS, WAS INFORMED COMMON OCCURRENCE FOR BUILD DATES JAN-APR '06. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP TO INSPECT AND WAS TOLD DRIVER SIDE STRUT IS LEAKING. TOLD THERE IS A 2-3 MONTH WAIT DUE TO HIGH DEMAND. ON 7/29, STRUT FINALLY BLEW WHILE TRAVELING ON INTERSTATE CAUSING A JOLTING SENSATION AT HIGH SPEED. WILL TAKE TO DEALER SERVICE DEPT ON MONDAY (7/31) IN ORDER TO GET LOANER VEHICLE DUE TO THE 2-3 MONTH WAIT TOLD TO ME BY DEALER. I TRAVEL 35 MILES TO WORK ONE WAY SO THIS IS A VERY TROUBLESOME ISSUE. A RECALL ON THESE STRUTS IS WAY OVERDUE BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT OR KILLED DUE TO THESE BLOWOUTS. *JB

THE TWO FRONT STRUTS ON THE CAR LEAK OIL, WHICH CAUSES STRUT FAILURE. THE CAR HAD 800 MILES ON IT WHEN IT FIRST STARTED. THE REPLACEMENT STRUTS ARE ON BACKORDER. THE CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE DUE TO THE STRUTS BEING BAD, AND MUST SIT AT THE DEALERSHIP UNTIL THE PARTS COME IN. DEALER DID GIVE A RENTAL. *JB
