“Grinding noises coming from front end. Took to dealer and was told it is a wheel on rim incompatibility. They will not change cause there is no recall on the parts. Was told if I bought new tires and rims it would help. Spent $1300 on tires and rims to still hear the noise. Took it back for the dealer to say they cant help cause of the factory warranty being over and the company that help my extended warranty filed bankrupcy.”

“After having to get the wheels bearings replaced in my front wheels, I started hearing a knocking/clicking noise coming from the wheels. I took it back to the same place and they replaced the bearings again, but the noise was still there. The third and fourth time I took it there they replaced cv joints and front controls arms. The noise was still there. I gave up on that garage. I took it to a second place where they pretty much took apart everything under the front end of my car. Four months later I still hear the clicking, and I think this current problem is related. …”

Every time I'm driving somewhere and encounter everyday road conditions, I'm scared to find a flat, popped tire; or blowout. I've had the exterior black lining fixed 2 times and I'm not happy it is happening again! The rear windshield weather strip is separating.
