| Creak,pop,clunk noise coming from the front of the vehicle. the noise is noticeable during slow parking lot maneuvers, and is mostly evident in a completely stopped condition when turning the steering wheel left and right. i spend money trying to get my car fit, and no one could find what the problem was. | |||

| Dt: the contact stated while driving vehicle would sway back and forth regardless of speed. the vehicle has been to the dealer several times, but they could not find the cause of the problem. another safety concern was the automatic door. it was not equipped with a safety device to keep the door from coming open when it was not intended to open. for example, while fueling the vehicle, if someone accidentally hit the inside handle it will not stop unless she manually tried to close the door from the outside. the vehicle has not been inspected to determine why this happened.*ak | |||
