For those that have had this problem. Has the dealer just replaced the faulty part with the same faulty part or are they fixing it so it won't occur again ? Are they just going to cover the problem for the term of the warranty (3 years right? ) and then you are on your own ?
Your dealer should be replacing the defective strut with a new one. That new one should be covered under the current warranty on your car.

But is the new one improved or is it the same one that seems to have a defect. If it's the same one then they'll just keep replacing them until the warranty funs out.
It will be replaced with the same part number strut. New and improved? Unless there was a recall for a massive amount of defective stuts like the rears were, there won't be "improved" ones. Not all parts are defective. Could be the seals were not installed correctly, or they had a slice in it somewhere, or other factors that contributed to the leak. Kind of like getting a bad starter, just because one is bad does not mean they are all bad.
If a new one is installed and it leaks, they'll replace that one as well. And if that one leaks, then they'll keep replacing until they find one that doesn't leak.
 
I have not read any reports of any 06' owners complaining of rear end whine..

I am assuming that problem was corrected......... but replaced with strut problems :rolleyes:

Anyone know who the vendor for the struts is?
