About These NHTSA Complaints:
The NHTSA is the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints can be spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem. See the Back button — blue bar at the very top of the page — to explore more.
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: 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.
