We were told by a certified mechanic we needed new struts. So we had them replaced. It was fine for about a month, again, this noise started up again. Took the car to another mechanic and he replaced the struts again plus he changed all the cushions. Our mechanic says hedoes not know what the problem is and so he gave up. We are ready to take this car to the junk yard. I do not remember exactly when this problem really started because it has been on going. We have replaced this part so many times.
The Chrysler dealership had my car for a month and could not find the problem of the knocking noise. They eventually said it is a common problem with this model caused by plastic rubbing together. It is very annoying and it certainly doesn't sound safe although they claim it is not a safety hazard. I was told there is nothing I can do but not to worry because it isn't a safety hazard. The car is only 3 years old and I can only imagine this will get more annoying the longer I own the car.
There is a mysterious knocking/rattling from the front end drivers side wheel/steering area - can sometimes be felt in the steering. I've noticed others had this mysterious problem on other message boards.
