Consumer Description

I PURCHASED THE CAR BRAND NEW IN 2007. I NOTICED AT ABOUT 20,000 MILES THE FRONT SUSPENSION STARTED TO MAKE LOTS OF CLUNKING NOISES AND RATTLING WHENEVER I WENT OVER BUMPS IN THE ROAD. I TOOK THE CAR INTO THE CHEVY DEALER AND THEY SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE CAR. THE CAR NOW HAS 42,000 MILES ON IT AND THE NOISE IS STILL THERE. THERE IS ALSO A REALLY AWFUL NOISE WHEN I APPLY THE BRAKES AND RELEASE THEM THE CAR JERKS LIKE THE BRAKES ARE GONNA FALL OFF THE CAR. I RECENTLY TOOK THE CAR TO A MECHANIC AND HE SAID THE BUSHINGS NEED TO BE REPLACED AND POSSIBLY THE STRUTS AND CONTROL ARM. THE MECHANIC SAID THE CAR SHOULD NOT BE HAVING THOSE PROBLEMS WITH THE CARS CURRENT MILEAGE. HE RECOMMENDED I TAKE IT TO THE DEALER SHIP BUT MY WARRANTY HAS SINCE EXPIRED AND THE DEALER SHIP WILL NOT FIX THE CAR. *TR
