Typical suspension symptoms owners report

Rear tires wear through to the steel belts on the inner shoulder within a short time, often traced by dealers to an out-of-alignment rear suspension.
Owners report premature and uneven front tire wear tied to failing tie rods, sometimes requiring tie rod replacement well before 30,000 miles.
Some owners describe violent shaking or vibration at highway speeds, especially above 45 mph, that dealers could not diagnose despite repeated visits.
A few complaints describe rear-end vibration or looseness that mechanics attributed to an undiagnosed rear suspension defect, requiring repeated undercarriage tightening.
Sudden tire deflation or flats were reported, in one case linked to a rotation issue after tire replacement.
Owners note rubbing between the rear tire and body under load, suggesting insufficient suspension travel or worn components.
