283-horsepower 3.6L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD
| 34580 mi | Had low frequency rattling noise from rear suspension. Dealer spent about 1.5 hours to diagnose as noisy shock. Required second trip for repair. Update: within 2000km, the noise has returned. Actually was fixed briefly. Either more defective shocks, or was something else disturbed when shocks were replaced. Disappointing. Warranty now over. Noisier than my 19 year old Civic with 362k on the odometer. Still original rear suspension there. |

Replaced rear shocks with Monroe OE Spectrum units. Rear suspension is finally quiet! I thought it was just a low speed noise before, but it seems notably quieter on the highway as well.

The repair addressed the sway bar ends' contribution to the noise, but there were still other worn parts making noise. After replacing the sway bar end links and sway bar bushings, the car still made popping noises driving over bumps. Further diagnosis was that the struts were starting to separate from their upper mounts, as well as worn lower ball joints (necessitating replacement of the complete control arms, lower engine mount, and rear shocks, spring bushings and shackle mounts. |

Dealer replaced Steering Rack. Brought van back the following week due to creaking sound in front end.

They were able to fasten the bushing around the stabilizer bar but cautioned that due to wear on the clamp, it could pop out again. |
