1 Rear Suspension Coil Springs problem

Failure Date: 01/01/2000

The vehicle was sold with inadequate rear coil suspension resulting in the vehicle "bottoming out" with rear passengers. The vehicle was represented to be able to tow 5000#. But due to the improper suspension, towing anything is dangerous as a result of the inability of the suspension to accommodate minimal tongue weight. Supposed repair did not fix the problem. A cushion was installed rather than increasing the coil strength or otherwise "repairing" the problem. The cushion merely attempts to "mask" the inadequate suspension and does not resolve anything.
