NHTSA Complaint #10269839 — 2005 PONTIAC GTO

I HAVE A 2005 PONTIAC GTO. THE PROBLEM EXIST IN THE FRONT SUSPENSION OF THE VEHICLE. THE PROBLEM OCCURS WHEN THE FRONT IRE RUBS AGAINST THE STRUT TOWER CAUSING THE INNER WALL OF THE TIRE TO ERODE, EXPOSING THE STEEL IN THE TIRE WHICH WILL LEAD TO A MASSIVE BLOWOUT IN THE TIRE. THERE IS A FLAW IN THE DESIGN. I HAD AN EXTENSIVE DEBATE WITH THE SERVICE GUY AT A LOCAL GM DEALERSHIP ABOUT THIS, MY TWO OTHER GM CARS I OWN HAVE GONE A YEAR MAYBE EVEN 2 WITHOUT AN ALIGNMENT AND NEITHER ONE OF THEM ATE THE TIRES OFF THE CAR! THIS POSSES A SAFETY HAZARD TO ME AND ANYONE ELSE ON THE ROAD IF THAT TIRE BLOWS. THANK GOD I NOTICED THE STEEL SHOWING ON MY TIRE ONLY CAUSE I BACKED IN AND THE WHEELS WERE TURNED OUT. THE PROBLEM IS BECAUSE OEM PARTS IN THE SUSPENSION HAVE FAILED AND NEED TO BE REPLACED. THIS FAILURE MEANS THAT YOUR FRONT END WILL NOT HOLD A PROPER ALIGNMENT REGARDLESS....RESULTING IN STRUT RUB. I SPENT OVER $900 IN PARTS AND LABOR GETTING THIS FIXED WHEN THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD HAVE TAKEN CARE OF THIS. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO THOUSANDS OF GTO'S AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE ABOUT IT. MY TIRE WOULD HAVE BLOWN IF I WOULD NOT HAVE NOTICED IT, IMAGINE THAT OCCURRING ON THE FREEWAY, RECIPE FOR DISASTER. *T
