The Center for Auto Safety is calling on the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to open an investigation into the 2004 - 06 Pontiac GTO. The slow-selling muscle car was built in Australia and imported into the U.S., where it was given larger tires that the group is claiming rubbed against the front struts of the car, causing excessive wear leading to 65 complaints. Pontiac replaced the front struts in 2006, but NHTSA has received more than 100 complaints about faulty struts, not tires, in 2006 models. We’ll keep an eye on the situation to see if NHTSA does indeed begin an investigation or if GM issues a recall.
