Investigation: Tires Rubbing Cars' Supension Could Explode
CLEVELAND -- A 5 On Your Side investigation uncovered a potentially deadly defect in thousands of cars across the country. NewsChannel5's Ron Regan said it's a defect that the automaker and federal safety regulators failed to warn drivers about. The Pontiac GTO was brought back on the market from 2004 through 2006. What Regan uncovered could affect nearly 40,000 cars on the road right now. When the GTO returned, the 350 horsepower and its performance was driven home to customers. But behind all the commercials, there was something experts said Pontiac never told its customers. Trevor Task owns a GTO and said his car suddenly lost control. The right front tire of Task's 2004 GTO exploded on a Cleveland Freeway. He said it was shredded, and it had peeled the inside of the tire like the top of a can lid.
