| Vehicle was taken to dealer for a loud noise that could be heard from the right front wheel when the wheel was turned hard to the right, the dealership would fix this by greasing the steering stops, however after a couple hundred miles the problem would return, a service rep informed consumer that the area of the suspension was metal on metal and would need to be frequently lubricated because there was no way to retain grease on those parts. *slc | |||
