Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: One week after owning vehicle, noticed leak spots on driveway. after researching on internet car forums, was informed common occurrence for build dates jan-apr '06. took to dealership to inspect and was told driver side strut is leaking. told there is a 2-3 month wait due to high demand. on 7/29, strut finally blew while traveling on interstate causing a jolting sensation at high speed. will take to dealer service dept on monday (7/31) in order to get loaner vehicle due to the 2-3 month wait told to me by dealer. i travel 35 miles to work one way so this is a very troublesome issue. a recall on these struts is way overdue before someone gets hurt or killed due to these blowouts. *jb
