Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Squeaking noise from the front suspension and oil leakage from the front left strut, (shock absorber), or driver side. Dealer ordered and will replace under warranty the left side strut but replacing only one side in a front wheel drive vehicle with 50,638 miles will cause the suspension to respond unevenly or incorrectly in wet or highway speed conditions. Dealer will not replace the right side on allegations that it have not failed yet and my warranty will expire at 60,000 miles. …”
