18000 mile and shock changed

[dan_s2k]

Hi guys

My GF have a sonic 1.8 auto lt 2012. Is it normal after 18000 mile the dealer change 2 shock absorber (they were leaking) + 2 strut mount and 4 end link (over 2 year)

Is it a weakness of the sonic or it's an isolatee case ?

+ she had a vibration in the front seat when the tranny is on drive and the car stoped at a light . the dealer no check ans nous reflash i cant do anything -_-

I'm not really sûre to keep it past warranty dont look very reliable unfortunatly

The "end link" is a common failure. Next time ask them to install quality after market (Moog? ) end links.
I don't know about the rest.

IMO the shocks and strut mounts seem like a isolated case.

The end links are a common issue.

Use cobalt end links made by moog to solve the issue.

You moog p/n k80252 for a stock ride height car.
