Consumer Description

EXCESSIVE SHUDDER NOTICEABLE THROUGHOUT THE CAR AT VARIOUS SPEEDS INCLUDING ~35-40 MPH AND 78-83 MPH. I'VE TRIED NEW TIRES, REBALANCING WHEELS, ALL WHEEL ALIGNMENTS, ALL WITHOUT RELIED. THE DEALER HAS NOT BEEN HELPFUL. OCCURS IN MOTION. WE BOUGHT THE CAR IN SEPTEMBER 2015 WITH 31,000 MILES ON IT. I NOTICED THE SHUDDER ON A TEST DRIVE BUT THE DEALER PUT NEW TIRES ON IT AND IT SEEM TO GO AWAY. BUT I NOTICED IT AGAIN WITHIN A MONTH OF PURCHASING THE CAR AND IT'S ONLY GOTTEN WORSE
