Typical suspension symptoms owners report
- Front-end 'death wobble' occurs at highway speed after hitting a bump, with violent shaking that continues as a residual vibration afterward.
- Tire pressure monitoring system repeatedly triggers false low-pressure warnings and a persistent nag screen even when tires are set to door-sticker or tire-sidewall pressures.
- Owners report the TPMS forces over-inflation beyond the tire's rated maximum pressure to silence the warning light, which some say voided their tire warranty.
- Uneven ride height is reported, with one side of the truck sitting noticeably higher than the other despite normal tire pressure.
- A front wheel began shaking at highway speed accompanied by a burning smell, smoke, an ABS warning light, and brake failure in one case involving a fire.
