| Suspension problems |
While driving the right front wheel bearing failed, causing damage to the front spindle assembly, brake rotor, caliper and ball joints.
Vibration at different speeds along with noisy droning experienced within weeks of new purchase. Several attempts to effect repairs at dealer resulted in one repair attempt which promptly reverted back to high level of vibration and droning at 50 - 55 mph and most apparent at above 60 mph. Dealer has done tire balancing, rotation, rear axle components replacement, drive shaft balancing and numerous test drives, all without affecting the drive train vibration and noise.
