| Description of the problem | 2 things are concerning. One, when driving over small cracks, bumps in roadway the suspension makes a noise that makes me think it is unstable. It is also a louder than average noise, compared to past vehicles that i have owned. Second, driving at speeds below 60 mph, everything is normal. Once speeds above 60 are reached, the steering column shakes and vibrates. The noise described earlier in paragraph one is heard. Alignment and balancing are normal. Tire tread is also normal. Neither of these two are acceptable and in my opinion is a risk. |
