Tribeca Limited 3.6L H6

bad front lower control arm bushings

The car has less than 100K and the bushings went bad!!

I mean it is an SUV for god sake!! if you see the commercial, they use it in offroads on rocks everywhere. Never done any of that crap, yet with in less than 100K I started hearing noise when passing over bumps on the road. The dealer said it needs new lower control arm bushings for $400 :(.

This is the worst car I've ever owned in my entire life. I owned toyotas for over 10 years, never had such issues. These Tribecas are piece of junk. Please stay away from it.I had to learn it the hard way, you don't.
