| 2012 | SUSPENSION | HAVING HEARD RATTLING IN THE FRONT OF HER SONIC MY DAUGHTER TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE PURCHASED. THE MAIN COMPLAINT WAS RATTLING FROM THE FRONT OF HER VEHICLE ONLY. AFTER MUCH RUN AROUND(FROM A SUPPOSED 5 STAR SERVICE DEPARTMENT) THEY TOLD HER THAT IT WAS INTERMITTENT AND THAT THEY WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO FIND OR DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. SO THEY SENT HER ON HER WAY. LAST WEEK SHE WAS DRIVING HOME AND HEARD A LOUD BANG. SHE THOUGHT SHE HIT SOMETHING OR SOMETHING HIT HER. NO DAMAGE WAS DISPLAYED ON THE VEHICLE OR IN THE ROADWAY. A MYSTERY BANG FOR SURE. I DROVE THE CAR AND HEARD NOTHING. NOT SAYING THAT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG BUT MY DAUGHTERS, AS IS EVERYONE'S, SAFETY IS AT RISK HERE. I AM TAKING MY DAUGHTERS CAR BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WITH RECALLS IN HAND WILL REQUEST INSPECTIONS OF EVERY PART ON THE RECALLS. *TR |
