1 Rear Suspension Shock Absorber problem of the 2006 Mazda MAZDA5

Failure Date: 03/20/2006

Started with a rubbing noise in suspension, dealer said it was nothing. Seemed to go away but returned early in 2007 as a creaking. Took it in 3/31/2007 and the dealer said the sway bar bushings had to be lubed. Creaking returns in July of 2007. The dealer replaced the rear shock absorber/bushing and damper on one side. October of 2007 a knocking came from the front suspension. Dealer replaced the front stabilizer bushing and the lower right and left arms. January of 2008 knocking returns to the rear of car and front end noisy. Front stabilizer bushings replaced. Right rear stud that holds the damper failed. Remaining portion had to be burned out and a new stud welded on. Crunching noise from front end soon after picking up car. I fear that this car is no longer safe to put my wife or four kids into. I only drive it alone when possible.
