Recent Complaints

20250829SUSPENSION

On July 7th, I reported to dealer that the car was uneven when parked. The right front suspension was sagging. The dealer stated that unless a malfunction idicator lamp was on they could not see the car. On August 12th, I took the car in and they stated that the control arm and suspension strut needed replacement and that the damage occured becuase I scraped the wheel when I was parking the car. The scrape did occur and it happened on August 9th, but not so severe as to damage the suspension. There is a current recall capaign NHTSA Recall 25V428 for suspension strut failure, but it does not cover my VIN. I just picked up my car from the dealer and the failure occurred again. The dealer stated that they reset the height to level the car and when i picked it up, it was. I drove 50 miles after I picked up and when I came home the suspension had dropped again.
