Consumer Description

CAR EXHIBITS A SHUDDER IN THE DRIVE TRAIN - MORE NOTICABLE AT SPEEDS UNDER 55MPH. A PRONOUNCED SHUDDER OCCURS WHEN COASTING OR IN TRAILING THROTTLE BETWEEN 36-44 MPH. DEALERSHIP SAYS IT IS JUST A 'CHARACTERISTIC' OF THE MODEL. I AM CONCERNED THAT THE VIBRATION IS CAUSED BY MIS-ASSEMBLED OR IMBALANCED DRIVE TRAIN COMPONENTS AND WILL RESULT IN A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE WHEN BEING DRIVEN.
