'08 Honda Civic w/25K miles needs new strut & tie rod end? Sign In

I've been having a rattling noise for almost a year now and have had the car into the dealership 4 times for it as it's still under warranty. The car has been well cared for, driven gently by me (I'm older) and they replaced the struts and tie rod end and lubricated the bump stop only on the right front. This doesn't sound right to me on a car with this low of mileage. I'm wondering if the car was dropped off the delivery truck? What do you think? What else is going to go wrong IF that is what happened? Should I have an independent mechanic look it over carefully?

Rattles are not always the easiest things to find. After all, the tech can't attach himself to the bottom of the car as it drives down the street to be able to follow the sound. The dealer will have the most knowledgeable people for that model and I'm sure they are trying hard enough to find it. You can try an independent but I doubt he'll have any better luck.
