Typical suspension symptoms owners report

Rear tires wear down unevenly, sometimes to the steel belts, at mileages as low as 18,000 to 24,000 miles, which some owners attribute to the rear camber setup.
Multiple owners report valve stems cracking or snapping off, causing slow leaks, sudden flats, or the tire to fully deflate during routine inflation checks.
Tire pressure warning lights activate repeatedly without a clear cause, in one case eventually traced to a bent wheel rim discovered a year after the light first came on.
Some drivers describe a tire blowout at highway speed, with a tire shop later attributing the failure to a defect in the tire itself.
Owners note humming noises and excessive vibration linked to poor tread wear, with mechanics advising against rotating the affected tires.
A rear suspension noise over road irregularities was traced by a dealer to the right rear sway bar link and repaired under warranty.
