2016 Acura TLX Driver Front Suspension Noise

I really hope someone can help me! I purchased my TLX in February, less than 4000 miles on it. Recently I've been hearing a squeaky noise in the driver's side front tire area. It only occurs when I'm going over bumps (driveways, railroad tracks, etc.) I brought it in to the dealer and they heard the noise and have since replaced the strut which only stopped the noise for a week or so. Now it's back again. Any insight?

Back to the dealer. They'll solve it and for free, or they'd better.

I called them today and was pretty much told to deal with it. I've done a little research and am sending a nice (nicely mean) e-mail to the service manager who told me this.

I just recently started to hear similar squeaky noise too, seems on both sides of the front end though. Still very faint to tell, but I'm keeping an eye on it. 27k miles, but it shouldn't be happening. Will be talking to them when I get it in for service coming up soon. Keep us posted what they do on yours.

Mine does it too, but I am lowered on H&R springs.

Folks that have stuff like this should be sure to:

1) Document it EVERY TIME YOU BRING THE CAR IN FOR SERVICE, but do be nice about it. But you want it written down, on the record.
2) As you near the end of warranty, become more strident

I had a transmission fail on a 1998 Accord, where I had heard something at 16,000 miles, but then I didn't keep complaining about it enough. The transmission failed not too long after the warranty expired. The service manager tried to get Honda to compensate me some, but no dice - a $4,000 loss. Ironically, when I talked with the service manager a couple of years ago, he told me that his Accord had failed the same way.
