1 Front Suspension problem

Failure Date: 01/10/2008

I have had a continuing problem with a single part on this vehicle that is prematurely wearing out. I called Chevrolet to express my concern about this issue and that I was 99% sure that it had failed again (for the 4th time), and was in need of replacement (for the 4th time). Because I had the right upper strut mount & bearing replaced 3 previous times, I felt that Chevrolet should be made aware of a defective part and also hoped that Chevrolet would pay for this replacement. It is my opinion (and have not been proven otherwise by Chevrolet or anybody at Chevrolet), that the upper strut mount is an automotive part that should at least last 100,000 miles if not longer. It is also my opinion that this part should not have to be replaced 4 times in less than 60,000 miles.

2 Front Suspension problem

Failure Date: 02/01/2006

Front driver side window failure, started going down a quarter to half way down and stopping then when you try to put it up it only goes up like a inch and you have to wait a little while and keep doing that until the window is completely up. Second there is a clucking noise coming from the front at low speeds including when turning or going over a bump.
