“While driving at any speed the consumer heard a rattling sound coming from the front of the vehicle. The dealer examined the vehicle and found that the sway bar link broke. The consumer believes this is a premature failure and that the part should be recalled.”
NHTSA complaint #10083541, filed 2004-08, 35,815 miles“Dt: beginning last year owner was having repeated problems with vehicle. About two weeks ago, there was a noise coming from front end, two or three people looked at it and couldn't find a problem. Then another dealership found the problem which was the bushings had not been greased, and all front end suspension bolts were loose. No recalls on the vehicle as far as owner knows. As owner was driving the vehicle for the last few months, there has been a cracking noise and a snapping noise that seemed to come from the front suspension. This problem happened everytime the vehicle was driven. …”
