Shocks failed at under 50k miles and should not have had this issue at such a low mileage. I have a baby so driving a vehicle with shocks that have busted does not feel safe at all. Dealership has done a diagnostic and no longer under warranty, Extended warranty does not cover it as well. Stuck paying a diagnostic fee and shocks are on back order with 250 plus in line to get them.
THERE IS A THUMPING NOISE COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE WHILE IN MOTION. IT IS GETTING WORSE AND WE ARE NOT SURE WHAT IT IS AND THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT HAS BEEN UNABLE TO FIX IT. WE ARE CONCERNED WITH IT GETTING WORSE THE MORE MILES WE PUT ON THE CAR.
