Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The struts and/or strut mounts have been replaced 4 times in the past year. Although covered by warranty, about every 3 months one breaks, then a couple weeks later, the other breaks. Literally, the strut pushes out of the top of the engine compartment, rubbing on the underside of the hood. The dealer did not honor the warranty with the left strut the last time, and charged me $250-. Saying I hit something. When the right strut went in the same manner about 3 weeks later...I insisted that the deal not repair the vehicle, but rather, discover what is causing the strut mounts to break. …”

The software updates is typically a year behind. Hence dealers are not able to diagnose suspension problems nor whne replacing made suspension parts asure that suspension is in proper alignement. This could cause poor handling and possibly an accident. The suspension alignment equipment manufactures seem to offer two maintainane packages. One is a cheaper package which is a year behind. …”
