1 Rear Suspension Shock Absorber problem

Failure Date: 12/28/2011

A loose rattling sound began to get much more pronounced and louder coming from the rear passenger area. I determined it wasnt a loose/unlatched door, took the car to the dealer. Upon inspection they found that the rear shock absorber had lost all of its fluid, reducing its operation to near 0%. If this had occured on a long trip (apporx 200-400 miles, the amount covered in about a week) this lack of wheel control could have been disastrous. This loud rattling masked another similar problem with the drivers side front strut; this is an even greater safety issue concerning controlling the car. Both strut and shock were replaced by the dealer. A less perceptive or attentive driver might have missed these telltale indicators of some part failure, which could lead to loss of control of the vehicle. .
