leaking struts...wtf?

Hey,

So i took my car in for it's first oil change today at approx. 3765 km.. when i'm picking it up they say that they found the 2 front struts were leaking... how can they be wrecked this early?! It's all highway/freeway driving that I do and I don't nail speed bumps..

Gonna be interesting to see if the new ones start leaking after the same amount of time too..

Sounds like faulty struts, sometimes these things happen. Thank god for warrenties. The chances it happening again are quite slim. Is your car lowered at all I know lowering your car can put a strain on your stock struts.

I have the same prob, they are getting replaced on Monday. This is such a large problem that the parts are on back order.
