2016.5 GT / 30k miles
front driver side suspension making crunching/knocking sound over any small bump at low speeds, especially while accelerating. Think: any city stop sign, traffic light, freeway entrance, driveway...
Took to dealer, couldn't replicate sound. Told them to keep trying. Alas! They heard it. Thanks to what I googled here (!) they were able to "dig up some TSBs".
Replaced strut tower (?).
Picked up car, no change.
Round 2, drove with tech to by pass the "we can't hear" problem (he agreed: noise)
Replaced lower control arm bushing.
Picked up car, no change.
Round 3, "we hear nothing", pick up your car
me: Sorry, I'm not picking up my car (I have a loaner).
I'm going back tomorrow to drive with the tech (again) so he can hear the noise (again) but I've lost any confidence they're actually going to fix anything. I'm nearing the end of my warranty and feels like they're just running out the clock.
Any suggestions on??
I've never had this sort of problem with a car or mechanic before. Usually don't go to dealer, but it's under warranty.
THANKS!!
