Front end noise was prominent when going slowly over speed bumps. Then as the car aged the noise became more significant and the handling of the car became less predictable. When initially reported at about 15,000 miles the issue was not able to be duplicated and was considered part of the vehicles character until I took it to another shop at about 60,000 miles for a different problem. They informed me that the struts needed to be replaced. After the repair vehicle handles in a predictable manner once again with less character.
