Typical suspension symptoms owners report
- Owners report rear shock absorbers leaking or failing early, sometimes under 10,000 miles, causing bouncing over potholes and sideways movement in turns.
- Multiple owners describe all four struts leaking fluid, often discovered during routine oil changes or tire replacement, with no towing or off-road use reported.
- Some report a loud clunking noise in the rear suspension during downshifts or acceleration, traced in one case to a loose rear differential retainer bushing.
- Front struts have also been reported leaking at various mileages, with dealers citing an internal service bulletin but not treating it as a recall repair.
- Owners note the strut and shock issues recur across the 2017 and 2018 model years and are often not covered once the vehicle is out of warranty.
