May 200917000 mi | An independent repair shop noticed a very leaky rear strut & suggested I take it to the dealer for repair. So, I took it to the dealer, they saw the leaky strut and ordered a new one. An independent shop told me about a Tech. Bulletin affecting the front strut mounts & a rubbing noise that was identical to what I was hearing in the front end. Dealer said they could not replicate the sound & knew nothing of the technical bulletin. Rear strut was replaced with parts ordered on previous trip to dealer. I errored in my previous report for this problem. On last trip (when no repairs were made, only parts ordered), the car was in the shop for only 1 day, not 3. On previous trip I brought in a copy of the Tech.Bulletin I rec'd from independent shop. Upon seeing this bulletin, the dealer scheduled me for repairs, which is what this visit was for. Pull strap latch on middle row seats (to lower back rests) was not working. | ||
