Consumer Description

THERE IS A THUMPING ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE FLOOR BOARD, WHILE TURNING THE WHEEL. THIS THUMPING FEELS AS IF SOMETHING IS BINDING IN THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE WHEEL. HAS BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP 3 PREVIOUS TIMES AND WILL BE RETURNING FOR THE 4TH. ASAP THIS IS A LEASED VEHICLE. AND THE OWNER OF THE DEALERSHIP IS AWARE OF ALL THE PROBLEMS THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD. I ALSO HAVE RECEIPTS OF EVERY TIME THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN FOR SERVICE. MY CONCERN IS THAT, IF I WANTED A VEHICLE WITH ALL THESE PROBLEMS, I MIGHT AS WELL OF PURCHASED A USED ONE. IN ORDER TO GET OUT OF THE LEASE, THE DEALERSHIP WANTS TO CARRY OVER THE REMAINING LEASE TO ANOTHER VEHICLE. I FEEL I DIDN'T CAUSE THESE PROBLEMS, SO WHY HAVE I BEEN SUBJECT TO BEING PENALIZED FOR THE REMAINING LEASE OF 1 YR. CAN YOU HELP?
