NHTSA Complaint #10275000 — 2009 PONTIAC G8

ON PONTIAC G8 GT WITH 18" WHEELS AND GOODYEAR RSA TIRES, THE WHEELS AND TIRES VERY OFTEN CANNOT BE BALANCED PROPERLY. THIS LEADS TO SEVERE STEERING WHEEL SHAKING/WOBBLING AND SOMETIMES DEALERS PUT A LOT OF WEIGHTS ON THE WHEELS ATTEMPTING TO BALANCE AN TIRE THAT CANNOT BE BALANCED, EVEN AFTER REPLACING OR REMOUNTING THE TIRE. A WEB THREAD WITH MANY COMPLAINTS: HTTP://WWW.G8BOARD.COM/FORUMS/SHOWTHREAD.PHP?T=12322 MY G8 GT HAS THE PROBLEM EVEN AFTER THE DEALER REPLACED THE TIRES AND REBALANCED THEM. PONTIAC APPARENTLY REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM, BUT THEY SHOULD REPLACE ALL WHEELS/TIRED FOR THE G8 IF THERE IS ANY WHEEL SHAKE. *TR
