What Owners Say

Shocks or struts

"This vehicle is handled gently. The worst thing we climb is a driveway. We have never taken this off road nor have we pulled anything. Other than suitcases and grocery bags, we have never hauled anything substantial. Yet the front shocks and struts wore out?!? And the rear brakes usually go 120 to 130,000 miles, but mine went in 90,000 thousand. All this resulted in a very expensive overhaul."
