Bought this vehicle new. It now has 68,000 miles.
1) At approximately 35,000 miles had to have both leaking front struts replaced. (dealer handled under some program)
Now both are just starting to leak.
Probably will replace soon.
2) At approximately 55,000 miles both rear struts replaced.
Now, right rear strut is leaking. (in just 15,000 miles!) Will be replaced very soon. Under warranty.
By far, mostly street/highway driving. NO off road!
So, just recap, this vehicle now (rear) has/is going thru almost 3 sets of struts - original/1st replacement/now 2nd replacement - in 68,000 miles!!
All struts are OEM.
This cannot be what it should be.
Should I switch to different brand struts? What brand?
What do I have to lose? The OEMs are not lasting.
Any input will be appreciated.
Thanks
