Filed: Jan 2026
At 20,000 miles, your car made abnormal noises from the front suspension when turning the steering wheel. A dealer confirmed the front struts are failing prematurely, which can affect how your car handles and brakes, especially when turning or in emergencies. This follows an earlier brake system failure at 17,000 miles that required repair. The front struts will likely need to be replaced to fix the noise and restore proper suspension performance.
