Shortly after purchase, heard banging/thumping noise in rear when stopping and accelerating. Happens when tank is full or 3/4 full only. Replaced shocks and gas tank. Continue to have problem and dealer/mfg unable to determine cause. Very annoying and frustrating that manufacturer can't correct obvious problem.

Fuel slams back and forward in the fuel tank and makes noise possibly because there're no baffles in the tank.
