| Description of the problem | Clunking , trunking and squeaking noise from front side side when going over bumps or turning. Complained to dealer in 2008 and 2011 . They test test drove and said it is normal or can not reproduce the problem. In 2016 they are saying it need replacement of front upper and lower control arms costing around $2000. I see from discussion forums this is a common problem with this vehicle. Dealer and manufacturer may be avoiding to address when vehicle is under warranty. |
