Wheel lug studs on the driver's side sheared completely, causing the rear wheel to separate from the vehicle while driving.
Rear tires suddenly blow out at low speed with a loud booming sound.
The vehicle bounces or swerves violently over pavement seams, sometimes triggering traction control and near loss of control, linked to failed rear shocks.
Owners report long delays getting recall parts for the rear shock absorber fix, leaving vehicles unrepaired for extended periods.
