It's a constant rattle noisy at the front of the car, when we bougth the car and start driving it we notice the noisy we took the car to the dealer and they said they didn't found anything, didn't drove the car for the last two years, move to DC, start driving the car again and the rattle getting worst I took the car to a mechanic and they said they fix the car I paid almost $900 and the problem still there, I took the car to the mechanic 1 month after they fixed, the invoice said 90 days warranty, now they said it's probably another problem, it's the same problem same noisy. I just want my car fixed, for what I paid.
