Typical suspension symptoms owners report

  • Run-flat tires (Pirelli P7 and Pzero, various sizes) suffer sidewall splits or blowouts after hitting minor road imperfections, sometimes recurring on the same vehicle multiple times.
  • Owners report repeated tire failures they attribute to the low-profile 19-inch or 18-inch wheel design, with some replacing seven or more tires over a couple of years.
  • Tire pressure monitoring system shows sudden pressure drops to zero on a tire, even when the tire is not visibly damaged.
  • Rear passenger side struts have fractured, causing the vehicle to drop suddenly on that side while driving and cracking the windshield.
  • Front lower control arm bushings on both sides fail together, allowing excessive wheel movement and camber shift at speeds above 25 mph.
  • A hitting or clunking noise occurs from the front wheels when turning, with a sensation that the tire could separate from the axle.
