Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The wheel sensors on this vehicle routinely fail. When they fail at high speeds(freeway driving) the cruise control, ABS, stability control, 4wd is no longer functional. If it fails at start up, all the same systems are effected in addition you cannot drive the vehicle over 30mph, it will accelerate on its own, it will surge also. This has happened every year I have owned the vehicle. Sometimes twice a year. Each wheel sensor has failed, some twice.”

Both failures occurred to area of rim where welds to lock in center (with lug holes) on outer rim (where tire sits) are situated.
