Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The dealership left the shipping blocks/pucks/discs on the struts. This is a common problem as evidenced through many online forums. The dealership and many others claim that this does not cause a problem; however, the blocks prevent the suspension from doing its job, which is absorbing impact, improving braking, and helping the wheels maintain contact with the ground. I drove over 18000 miles not realizing that they were on (I just thought I have a tight suspension). I have now lost 4 tires (premature wear and bubbles/punctures) and have damage to the strut and steering knuckle. …”
