Consumer Description

DRIVER SIDE FRONT WHEEL/SUSPENSION IS MAKING RATTLING NOISE WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED. THE NOISE IS WORSE WHEN HITTING UNEVEN SURFACES ON THE ROAD (LIKE A REPAIR SPOT OR TRANSITION FROM CONCRETE TO ASPHALT) . THE FRONT-END SOUNDS LOOSE, AND THERE IS A SLIGHT VIBRATION WHEN DRIVING AT HIGHER SPEEDS. WE HAVE TAKEN OUR CAR INTO THE DEALER MULTIPLE TIMES AND THEY SAY ALL IS OK AND THE NOISE IS AS INTENDED BY THE MANUFACTURER. WE DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN THE CAR.
