There is a recurring popping noise coming from the front of the vehicle, which is causing the steering to feel loose. Took vehicle to dealer for check up and repair of the struts for the third time.
Problems with transmission and tie rod bolts were loose. The consumer took the vehicle to the dealer because there was a noise in the passenger front wheel and the gears were grinding when moving form second to third gear. The technician told the consumer that the vehicle's tires were bald therefore she was racing the car. He went on to say that he would not check the transmission unless she agreed to pay for it. The consumer appealed the decision of the dealer and contacted the manufacturer. The struts were loose on the right side. The tie rod bolts were loose which was probably the cause of the bald tires. The manufacturer refused to honor the warranty for the transmission although the vehicle was only six months old.
The front struts of my vehicle are leaking due to premature failure, which makes the vehicle difficult to control when a bump or slight ding in the road is traveled over. Will get the struts replaced, so that my vehicle doesn't fall apart, but it's going to be very.
