| Description of the problem | I bought this car on april 2004. On june 2004 it began to have problems with shock absorbers or struts. This happens 2 or 3 times a year and every time the dealer changes them for new ones they break again. They changed them last time on january 4, 2007 and the banging noise is starting again which is the sign that they will break soon. After the warranty expires this will become a burden. *nm |
