In owners' own words
I noticed a rattling coming from the rear end of the vehicle while driving. I stopped to investigate and found a broken leaf spring rubbing against the rear passenger side tire. There was damage to the inside of the tire. Had I been on the highway it may have cause the tire to pop. There are multiple posts detailing the same break of the leaf spring and the resulting tire damage on the internet. Suspension · reported at 133,000 miles
I have noticed an incredible bounce while driving on the freeway and local way. It has only 1,500 miles and this does not seem normal and concerns me. The tires doesn't seem to change the bounce effect. I can't even put my family in the back seat because they feel uncomfortable and start bouncing everywhere. The problem needs to be addressed and fixed by botoya. Suspension · reported at 1,500 miles
The truck bounces real bad on some concrete roads at about 65 mph to the point I have to slow down or change lanes to get it to stop. On the same roads I can not hold the gas pedal steady its revving the engine up on every bounce I think the recall made the peddle to sensitive on rough roads. Suspension · reported at 200 miles
