Typical suspension symptoms owners report

  • Steering wheel and front end shake violently at highway speeds, often triggered by hitting a bump or bridge expansion joint, a pattern owners call the "death wobble."
  • Shaking typically starts around 50-55 mph and continues until the driver slows below roughly 45-50 mph, making it hard to control the vehicle.
  • Some owners report the steering damper was replaced by the dealer, sometimes more than once, without permanently resolving the vibration.
  • At least one owner described the vehicle swaying side to side over bumps, becoming unstable and difficult to steer, alongside a separate seat bolster fracture.
  • One complaint describes the vehicle jerking and revving aggressively while turning, with an abnormal noise, though this appears less common than the steering wobble pattern.
