I purchased in 2008. I have heard the axle or tire rod make squeaking noise on every bump or dip. Everytime I mention to shop mechanic and they check, they say nothing is wrong. After 96000 miles they tell me they cannot give me a alignment because I need new tire rods. The same vehicle I have complained for 9 years.
