This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
Discovered while replacing the rear axle assembly, the U bolts that connect the rear axle housing to the leaf springs had almost rusted thru. This problem is not easily recognizable as the configuration of lower plate that the U bolts go thru conceals the rusted portions of the U bolt. Also, the configuration of the above-mentioned plate captures road salt, corroding the U bolts. If these bolts failed, the rear axle would dislodge from the vehicle with disastrous results.
After the vehicle has been driven for awhile it develops a very sever shaking. It is to the point it knocks stuff off the dash and out of the cup holders. I have had the tires changed, rotated, balanced. This does nothing to help.
Vehicle suffers from noticeable vibration which appears to be the result of a design flaw. Dealer also replaced front/rear ABS brakes/tires/driveshaft and rear axle.
