Typical suspension symptoms owners report

  • Owners report wheels seizing or the vehicle pulling hard to one side during turns, in one case leading to a crash into a guardrail.
  • Some describe tire sidewalls blowing out or tread separating suddenly at highway speed with no impact or visible damage beforehand.
  • Several report a low tire pressure warning light coming on randomly even when tire pressure checks out normal, which one dealer attributed to a tire rotation sensor mismatch.
  • One owner reported a passenger-side upper control arm fracturing while driving around a curve, with no dashboard warning beforehand.
  • Others describe steering resistance, popping or cracking noises from the wheel assembly area, and side-to-side jerking of the steering wheel at various speeds.
