| Description of the problem | Strong, loud, persistent knocking sound coming from passenger side of roof when going over bumps or uneven pavement. This noise is the frame popping from two parts of the frame coming into contact, from what i was told by dealer. This was taken to the dealer previously and the tsb was found and work completed. It began making the noise again after a few days to a week after the service. I have scheduled to take it in again, but have hesitated due to the condition i received my car after service last time. The liner and body covers do not go back on right and the car did not look new any longer when i received it back. The problem was said to be caused by welding slag on the frame rubbing together, and bad welds on the car's body. This is not what someone wants to hear when purchasing a new car. |
