Tie rod assemblies fail at low speed, causing the vehicle to vibrate and shake, in one case leading to a front tire separating while reversing.
Lug nuts arrive under-torqued from the factory or swell and distort over time, making it difficult or impossible to remove them to fix a flat.
A tire has blown out suddenly at highway speed with a loud pop, followed by rapid air loss and a tire pressure warning.
Owners report highway-speed vibration that mechanics could not diagnose, along with control arm squeaking and popping requiring replacement.
