Noise at front end

I hear a rattle at low speed at the left front area. Also a noise that sounds like fluid flowing,possibly through the strut.
I think the strut has gone bad.
If I push down at the strut area ,I hear a similar noise .
The car has less than 15,000 miles.
Anyone else had a strut problem?

Acura Quality

I just got back from the dealer.
They replaced the left front strut,and did some other warranty work.
They turned the front rotors,and replaced the pads.
They check the rear window defrost,and indicated the bottom heat strip is burned out,which is causing static on the radio.
I decided not to replace the entire window,as the strip can't be repaired.
I'm wondering about the overall quality of this car.
When I bought it I thought it was well made. These items shouldn't fail at 2 years ,less than 15,000 miles.
I went by the Pontiac dealer on the way home and got some literature on the new GTO due out the end of this month.
One thing for sure,I will sell this car before the warranty expires.

I'm a 15K too, and I've had both lower control arm in the front suspension replaced to stop clunking in the front end (drivers side at 7500, pass. side at 15K).

I think my car may have been built on a friday afternoon (or a monday morning)

I agree, sell the car and get the GTO... You will be much happier with the build quality of a solid american car, such as a pontiac...
