Consumer Description

VEHICLE VIBRATION AND VERY NOTICEABLE STEERING WHEEL SHIMMY/NIBBLE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS ABOVE 45 MPH. BAD VIBRATION WHEN BRAKING. IN FEBRUARY 2004, BEGINNING AT APPROXIMATELY 3000 MILES, I HAD VEHICLE CHECKED/SERVICED SEVERAL TIMES BY FORD DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT. WAS TOLD TO KEEP DRIVING IT UNTIL IT GETS BROKEN IN (SUGGESTED ABOUT 12-15,000 MILES). DIAGNOSES RANGED FROM WARPED BRAKE ROTORS TO "TIRES SLIPPING ON THE RIMS." VEHICLE NOW HAS 31,000MILES AND THE PROBLEM STILL HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED. *JB
