Consumer Description

TEST DROVE A BRAND NEW 2006 PONTIAC GTO AT THE DEALERSHIP WITH A SUSPENSION NOISE. SALESPERSON AT THE DEALER COMMENTED THAT THE SUSPENSION WOULD SETTLE DOWN AND THE NOISE GO AWAY. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE SUNDAY AUGUST 19TH AND TOOK DELIVERY OF THE VEHICLE MONDAY AUGUST 21ST THAT ALREADY HAD THIS SUSPENSION NOISE. I BROUGHT THE CAR IN TO CHECK THE SUSPENSION NOISE OUT. THE PROBLEM IS KNOWN AS SERVICE BULLETIN NUMBER 4141 / NHTSA ITEM NUMBER: 10020224. SERVICE ADVISOR NOW SAYS IT WILL NOW BE 20 WEEKS OR MORE BEFORE THE REPLACEMENT STRUTS ARE AVAILABLE. GM SAYS NOT TO DRIVE THIS CAR WITH THIS ISSUE BECAUSE IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD. MY GTO BUILT DATE IS FEB 06. HOW CAN GM LET THEIR DEALERS SELL MY A CAR THAT IS A SAFETY HAZARD FROM DAY 1. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL NOT JUST A SERVICE BULLETIN. THIS IS RIDICULOUS AND UNSAFE. *JB
