Consumer Description

VEHICLE VIBRATES FROM 0 TO 60 MPH. IT CAN BE FELT IN THE STEERING WHEEL , SEATS AND CENTER CONSOLE. IT IS VERY NOTICEABLE WHEN STARTING ON AN INCLINE. IN SOME CASES IT FEELS LIKE SOMETHING IS BANGING. THE DEALER AND MFG. BOTH TELL ME THIS IN A NORMAL CONDITION AND THAT THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DUE TO CORRENT THIS SITUATION. I AM AFRAID THAT AS THIS VIBRATION CONTINUES, SOMETHING (DRIVE SHAFT, BREAK HOSE, TRANS OR REAR SEALS) WILL EVENTUALLY START TO BREAK DOWN OR LEAK. IF A BREAK LINE OR HOSE VIBRATES AND BEGINS TO LEAK NO TELLING WHAT CAN HAPPEN !!!
