Description of the problem	Parked the car . When tried to backup the car from parked space, the front of the car got stuck over the concrete barriers and broke the front. Upon inspection i realized that the front driver side of the car is dropped about 3 inches. I took it to dealer and after 2-3 months testing and flushing , they told me they need to replace the valve at a cost of $3500. 00. A few weeks later, the hole driver side is dropping both front and back. They tell me another valve needs to be replaced. I check different site on internet and realize this issue is known to dealers and there a great deal of documentation on-line. I appreciate if your office could investigate and get back to me. Thanks
