I've decided to dump my Smart - if the manufacturer gave it to me with something that proves to be faulty and refuses to accept that they sould fix it - they and thedealer do not deserve my business. Faulty software that cost me $100…

Andrew, the Shackle lubrication has done pretty well. My Son has been driving the car in Oklahoma. When I last checked with him, he indicated he has started getting the sound again but very infrequently. I have a feeling we may need to do this…

I was told that the clutch still looks good and the software update to to sprint shifter unit should take care of it. We'll see...

Mine is in the shop right now for not shifting into reverse. The service guy told me that it's 110.00 just to look at the car. If it's the software, it'll be 110, if it's the clutch, not covered because I have 29K miles (car is 1…

Andrew O. said… - the tool box full of wrenches hitting the pavement is exactly it! my service (Smart) guy said there are no shocks in front - just struts. and they said they checked everything possible and of course, couldn't find anything wrong.
i think i'll repost this as a new 'nuts and bolts' entry and see if anyone offers up anything new...

- I've had my 2008 Passion for over a year. But all last winter (Seattle) it was in a garage at night. A few weeks ago (I park outside now) I got in to drive to work, it was 40 degrees out, i hit a bump, and thought that the front end had just FALLEN OFF!
I actually pulled over to get out and look. Felt like an idiot.
Now I'm really only noticing it a) when it's cold, b) first part of a drive (it dissipates after awhile).
If it keeps up, I HAVE to have the Service department do something. It's ridiculously loud and unnerving. The day I first took it in to the shop, I was seriously questioning whether I should be driving it or not. Every bump was causing the front end grinding noise.

- Hello Kim. Just read your posting from last January on the front end noise. I'm having the exact same problem. Although I've had my Smart since over a year ago - this is the first I've noticed the noise. And I feel it's something to do with the cold.
Any resolution?

Be careful out there,
