| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Rear struts have gotten noisy, with rattling and groans. seems like a bushing is out. also shocks are overly firm, as if they are defective. the overly firm shocks has been previously reported to nhtsa. the rattling has recently started and when a sharp bump is hit with the right rear tire, it has a lot of small sharp bounces, with the tire absorbing the shock. rear shock/strut problems seem to be very common on these cars and replacements from the dealer are $300. i think this is a safety problem that gm should fix, or offer a discount on the rear struts, since so many are bad. thanks.*ak |
