Typical suspension symptoms owners report

  • Original-equipment Goodyear Eagle LS2 tires develop internal cord separation and sidewall bulging, causing vibration and shaking felt through the steering wheel and floor.
  • Tires blow out or fail at highway speed, including one report of a sidewall blowout at 70 mph.
  • Traction control, ABS, and StabiliTrak warning lights illuminate together, sometimes with a grinding noise from the front wheel area at low speeds.
  • A front wheel reportedly seized during a turn at 25 mph, leading to a rear-end collision.
  • Tires wear unevenly despite alignment measuring within specification, and owners describe a banging noise from the front end when backing out and turning.
  • Slow leaks in rear tires trace back to belt separation inside the tire rather than punctures.
