Typical suspension symptoms owners report

  • Lug nuts described as swollen from a two-piece design, so the factory-supplied 21mm/22mm wrench no longer fits either size.
  • Owners report being stranded after a flat tire because the wheel could not be removed with the provided lug wrench.
  • Dealers reportedly told owners the swollen lug nuts must be drilled out and replaced, sometimes preventing routine tire rotation.
  • One owner reported a front driver's side wheel detaching at low speed, causing a loss of control and a crash into parked vehicles.
  • One owner described a shimmy in the vehicle when hitting a bump or rough pavement, especially on wet or icy roads.
