Typical suspension symptoms owners report

  • Tires lose air pressure or blow out unexpectedly, including a front tire that blew and detached from the rim while driving 70 mph.
  • Owners report tire pressure monitoring system errors, with dash warnings indicating a flat tire on the wrong wheel or flagging tires that were not actually low.
  • Some vehicles were missing a spare tire or working jack, leaving owners without a way to address a flat.
  • Tire sidewalls developed bulges, and one owner found a wheel rim separated internally, causing the tire and outer rim to detach and damage the vehicle body.
  • Rear tires reportedly lost air repeatedly, requiring frequent refilling, in one case linked to a tire that was separating from the rim and leaking air.
