I WAS DRIVING MY CAR AND IT STARTED MAKING A REAL LOUD SQUEAKING NOISE LIKE THE FRONT END WAS COMING OUT FROM UNDER IT. I TOOK IT IN AND GOT A COUPLE OF QUOTES ON IT. ALL 3 OF THE MECHANIC'S TOLD ME I NEEDED TO GET MY LOWER BALL JOINTS & CONTROL ARM CHANGED. BOTH THE PASSENGER AND THE DRIVER SIDE OF MY CAR WERE BAD. I HAD NEVER GOTTEN A RECALL NOTICE IN THE MAIL. I HAVE OWNED THIS CAR FOR OVER 2 YEARS. FINALLY I TOOK IT IN ON MONDAY, JULY 3, 2006 AND HAD TO REPLACE BOTH SIDES. IT ENDED UP COSTING ME OVER $475.00 FOR PARTS AND SERVICE. *NM

DESPITE HAVING A TIRE SHOP INVESTIGATE THE SLOW LEAK IN MY TIRES, NO CAUSE WAS FOUND FOR A CONTINUOUS SLOW LEAK. EVERY TIME I USE THE CAR I NEED TO RE-INFLATE AT LEASE ONE OF THE TIRES. *NM
