Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING AT 45 MPH OR FASTER, A RATTLE SOUND CAN BE HEARD FROM THE LEFT REAR SIDE. I CHECKED TO SEE IF ANYTHING WAS WRONG; I DID FIND THAT THE SHOCK WAS NOT FULLY TIGHTEN ON THE TOP BOLT. I WAS ABLE TO MOVE THE TOP PART OF THE SHOCK BY HAND. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO LARRY H MILLER DODGE IN TUCSON, AZ. THEY SAID THAT NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE LEFT REAR, AND NO UNUSUAL SOUNDS WERE HEARD DURING A TEST DRIVE. THEY INFORMED ME THAT A PAYMENT WOULD BE NEEDED TO FURTHER INVESTIGATE THE PROBLEM. PAYMENT WAS NOT MADE, AND SOUND IS STILL PRESENT. MORE SO NOW THEN BEFORE DEALERSHIP INSPECTION. *TR
