| Description of the problem | Within the first year of use an intermittent (few days a week) vibration + humming / grinding type noise was present when turning (left and right) at low speeds (<25mph). The vibration sometimes cyclic, felt in steering wheel, and is audible from passenger seat. The vibration is distracting and often occurs when slowing down at stoplights or stop signs. The noise & vibration, however, remain when the brakes are not engaged. The noise & vibration exist while in 4x4 as well as 4x2 and 4a. The issue has been verified multiple times by service staff at 2 different dealerships. Vehicle has been in for service multiple times (3 prior) and parts have been replaced to attempt to address the issue (front iwe assemblies which were found to have partial leak, front left hub assembly found to have resistance / grinding was replaced). Sound / vibration remained after service. Vehicle currently in for service 4th time at dealership to address issue again (33 days+ and counting). No resolution yet. |
