NHTSA Complaint #10184381 — 2004 PONTIAC GTO

WE HAVE A 2004 GTO WITH 18,000 MILES ON IT. 2 WEEKS AGO I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AND I HEARD A LOUD BANGING NOISE COMING FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE CAR. MY HUSBAND NOTICED THAT THERE WAS A 8 INCH BY 2 INCH PIECE OF RUBBER THAT HAD PEALED OFF OF THE INSIDE OF THE TIRE AND WAS RUBBING AGAINST SOMETHING MAKING THE NOISE. 1 WEEK LATER ANOTHER PIECE ON THE SAME TIRE HAD PEELED LOOSE AND WAS KNOCKING UP AGAINST THE WHEEL WELL OF THE CAR. I TOOK THE CAR TO CLASSIC PONTIAC AND THEY TOLD ME TO LEAVE THE CAR OVER NIGHT SO THAT THEY COULD GET A BETTER LOOK AT IT AND THAT IT WAS TOO DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. I WAS THEN TOLD BY A CO-WORKER THAT SHE SAW SOMETHING ON CHANNEL 5 NEWS THAT GTO'S WERE HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THE TIRES RUBBING UP AGAINST THE SHOCKS. I DID NOT RECEIVE ANYTHING IN THE MAIL FOR A RE-CALL ON MY CAR. I WILL LET YOU KNOW WHAT CLASSIC PONTIAC DOES TO REPAIR MY CAR. *JB
