Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 20 of 20, newest first, as owners wrote them.
My car has a defect with its suspension both front and rear. I have taken my car for service to 2 different dealers for repairs. It makes a loud crunching,rattling and squeaking noise from the front and rear suspension. While driving over the slightest bumps on the road. Infact it has been to the dealer for repairs 8 times in all it totals 14 days out of service. As of now the problem still remains after the dealer has replaced numeros parts. They are aware of the existing problem but cannot fix it.
The sway bar bushing has been replaced "fixed" 4 times already and it is currently broken again. It happened while entering the dealership driveway at approximately 5 MPH. This was a brand new car and it simply has put me out! This should not be happening. I drive mostly all highway miles with no bumps or pot holes for this to be happening.
While driving 65 to 75mph, vehicle started drifting to the left, consumer corrected, but vehicle kept pulling to the right, vehicle then rolled over 1 1/2 times, the tie rod had snapped, strut assembly broke, and cv joint separated, housing broke from metal, roof caved in, trunk smashed into, and pushed rear seat inward killing 3 passengers, fire department cut 5 passengers out, 2 were injured, the vehicles structure kept buckling and collapsing inward. *jg *ak
Consumer was traveling 15mph suddenly vehicle pulled to the right. Consumer went off the road trying to veer to left, and vehicle kept pulling to the right. Vehicle stopped on impact by hitting a tree. Front right passenger's side was damaged. Officer at the scene stated vehicle wasn't traveling too fast according how air bag deployed. Consumer was waiting for insurance adjuster to inspect vehicle.
Motor mount failed.
Sway bar bushing has fallen out twice.
After having vehicle for two weeks consumer noticed a loud noise coming from left rear. Consumer had vehicle serviced at dealer. Technician stated sway bar was loose. Please provide further information.
Left rear of vehicle started making a crunching/rattling noise over even the slightest bump. Dealership determined it to be noisey swaybar link. This happened because bushing pushed out apparently. They had to install a washer on swat bar bushings retainer. Not sure if this could have been a potential safety hazard where I could of lost control of vehicle. I found this bad because car is new and only 2 months old and I drive all highway interstate miles. No side/off roads with major bumps to knock this out. Hopefully prob won't happen again.it is a concern since veh is new and there was no extremely rough driving done with vehicle.
Consumer heard a banging noise in rear. Took vheicle to dealer . Dealer claimed sway bar and bushings had to be remounted. *ak
