What owners wrote
Tl*the contact owns a 2005 pontiac gto. While driving approximately 62 MPH, the vehicle unexpectedly swerved towards the right and crashed into another vehicle. The contact and the driver of the other vehicle suffered personal injuries. A police report was filed. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired; however, the contact stated the failure was related to the steering. The failure mileage was 80,000.
My 2005 pontiac gto has issues with the struts causing my tires to wear on the inside and jerks really bad upon applying the brakes causing the steering wheel to shake as well. This is scary at times and GM needs to be investigated for this vehicle. I have put 4 sets of tires on the car, this is ridiculous and not safe. I fear I will have a blowout due to the inside tire wearing on the struts. This is very dangerous.
