2006 PONTIAC GTO — Complaint #625430

Open-data reference.

NHTSA Complaint about TIRES:MARKINGS filed May 26, 2007

NHTSA complaint #625430 (ODI reference 10191775) concerns a 2006 PONTIAC GTO and was filed on May 26, 2007. The owner reports the failure occurred on July 15, 2006. The vehicle had 250 miles on the odometer at the time of the incident. The report was geocoded to Mississippi based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as tires:markings, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.

The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.

Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same PONTIAC GTO cohort independently describe similar tires:markings failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2006 PONTIAC GTO shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
