Rear wheel bearing failures recur even after dealer replacement, moving from one side to the other.
Tires develop sidewall blisters or chunks of rubber separating from the tread at relatively low mileage.
A rear tire blew out and split apart at highway speed after owners noticed vibration and a popping sound.
Owners report the vehicle came with a tire/compressor inflation kit instead of a spare tire or jack, which they say does not address sidewall failures or bent rims.
