“I was driving on the highway and heard knocking sounds coming from the front right-side lower area whenever I ride over a small bump or uneven areas on the road it sound like a suspension problem. I took my car to the dealer and some part of the suspension was fixed. Now the knocking sound is back along with a squeaking noise. I spend approximately $3,500 and seem to have the same dangerous defect. Thank you,”

I pulled to side of the road as soon as I could because I saw white smoke coming from under the hood. …”
