NHTSA Complaint #10070738 — 2000 LINCOLN CONTINENTAL

MY VEHICLE STARTED VIBRATING INTERNALLY WHEN I REACH 70 MILES PER HOUR. IF FEELS AS THOUGH THE SEAT HAS VIBRATOR IN IT. SIMILAR TO THE FEEL OF A VIBRATING PAGER. THIS HAPPENS DURING ACCELERATION. I DO NOT FEEL ANYTHING AT 60MPH. WHEN I REACH 70 I CAN FEEL IT THE SEAT AND GAS PEDAL. THE VIBRATION CONTINUES UNITL I REACH 85MPH. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE DIFFERENTIAL AND HAS TRIED A NUMBER OF THINGS. THEY SAID THAT THEY WOULD REPLACE THE REAR END BECAUSE THE GEARS THAT THEY WERE GETTING WOULD NOT HELP AND WOULD PROBABLY CAUSE MORE VIBRATION. THEY HAD A FORD ENGINEER COME IN DRIVE THE VEHICLE. HIS RESPONCE THE THE VEHICLE WAS VIBRATING WITHIN ACCEPTABLE LIMITS. I ASKED WHAT THOSE LIMITS WERE AND HE SAID THAT LIMIT HE DETERMINED WHEN HE DROVE THE VEHICLE. I LEFT THE DEALERSHIP ON THAT COMMENT.
