What Problems have been reported with the new Pontiac GTO's?

Question

I'm getting ready to buy an 05 Pontiac GTO.And have asked alot of questions on here about them.But one question I haven't asked is..What problems have been reported reguarding the GTO.I heard things such as the steering failing and also failing front struts,power seats going out and radios dieing.I've heard from a friend of a friend that his GTO was garaged for a month waiting on parts to be imported! I really don't want to experience anything like these problems and would like to know if they are frequent and common among GTO's.Thanks!

I know the GTO is the same thing as a Monaro.Made in Australia by the GM subsidairy Holden.My aunt that lives in Australia actually has a Monaro and loves it.I'm not asking what the GTO is and where it is made and such I just want to know what problems have been reported with it.

Answer 1

I heard they are too fast, and too cool...and they make a lot of people envious...lol

This car was a Monaro a couple years before the GTO...so the kinks have been worked out ahead of time...GM rushed it over here when it was first released in the USA because of the high demand...so replacement parts were not readily available...that is not an issue today...

Answer 2

The GTO is based on the Australian Holden, I would not expect the reliability to be any better or worse than any other GM vehicle, which is to say it should be average. What would worry me though is what the previous owner put the car through. In my mind the typical profile of a GTO owner is not conducive to long term reliability.
