It's a constant rattle noisy at the front of the car, when we bougth the car and start driving it we notice the noisy we took the car to the dealer and they said they didn't found anything, didn't drove the car for the last two years, move to DC, start driving the car again and the rattle getting worst I took the car to a mechanic and they said they fix the car I paid almost $900 and the problem still there, I took the car to the mechanic 1 month after they fixed, the invoice said 90 days warranty, now they said it's probably another problem, it's the same problem same noisy. I just want my car fixed, for what I paid.

Consumer received NHTSA recall notice 00V421002000/manufacturer's recall 967. Vehicle was starting to make a rattling noise, and consumer decided to have it checked out. Dealer found no problem, and stated that ball joints were okay, and didn't need to be repaired. Rattling noise got worse, and consumer went to a mechanic who would not let vehicle leave the lot because ball joints were defective, and vehicle could easily lose steering. Consumer has been waiting for contact since July from manufacturer.
