Typical suspension symptoms owners report

Owners report the lower control arm or subframe cracking, snapping, or breaking away from the vehicle, in some cases causing a wheel to detach while driving.
Several complaints describe front or rear subframe and cross-member corrosion severe enough that rust holes let light through, causing failed inspections.
A recurring clunking or popping noise from the front end has been linked to worn lower control arms, ball joints, leaking rear shocks, and a failing rear sway bar.
Tire pressure monitoring systems are reported to give false low-pressure readings that dealers could not correct.
One driver reported the steering pulling hard to one side, which the dealer attributed to camber adjustment rather than a defect.
