problem #2

GTO 8-cyl

  • Manual transmission
  • 600 miles
1. none, my 2006 Pontiac GTO was purchased brand new and I only got to enjoy it 600 miles before parts failure. 2. both front struts failed, resulting in no front body movement control and oil all over. The oil also caused the bushings on the front suspension to fail resulting in horrible noises. The car was not drivable until it was repaired. 3. the dealership replaced both front struts and the front stabilizer. Days later the driver's side is clunking and leaking oil again. The old parts are not available.

The front struts were defective within the first 300 miles. Both front struts leaked all their contents and both front stabilizer bushings collapsed within 2 days of vehicle ownership.
