“Came out of carwash and rear suspension locked up and back of my vehicle raised approximately 8/12 inches light came on said service suspension and trailer braking system. Vehicle has never hauled anything a burnt smell came from back end. This vehicle has never even hit a pothole. Only been driven locally. I'm a little frustrated because I had immediately taking it in to the dealership where I purchased it. And they treated it like it was not a big deal. When back in felt like it was grabbing every time the brake was applied. …”
