| Description of the problem | The vehicle bounces horrible at speeds of 60-80mph on concrete freeways. As per dealer i have added 200# of added weight to the rear, to which the problem still occurred. The bouncing is very noticeable in the rear seats, so much so that i am not comfortable having my 2 year old daughter as a passenger. This is unacceptable since we purchased this as a family vehicle. I have inspected the tire pressure and have not had any noticeable effect on the bouncing. I feel the vehicle in unsafe on these roads and could very easily become unstable. |
