Suspension problem #1

Had cv boot and control arm work at 30k miles caught it in time in 2021 and dealer fixed it. 2 years later same issue if I had bot taken it to dealer and just did oil changes myself cv boot and control arm would break during operation. Seems like they have serious issues with cv boots and control arms at low miles. I only have 50k miles to have a second replacement.

Suspension problem #2

Towing capabilities are not congruent with the specification per manual. . . Rear suspension is very weak and cannot handle the weight of the cabin cargo and the weight of trailing up to 5,000 lbs safely. . . Multiple pictures (1 attached) taken but did not drive on the road for safety reasons for it passengers.
