I bought my 2006 ion brand new with only 10 miles on it now the car is at 27k miles and now it has a clunking noise in the front suspension, I have taken in to dealer many times they have replaced 1) intermediate shaft 2) lower control arm rear bushing 3) catalytic converter 4) steering rack: and on top of all this it has been 8 months and my car is still not fixed. The dealer told me they don't know what it is. I have done some research found tsb's for this both of which they have supposedly already done.
