Description of the problem	Since day one this car has had a shake in the steering wheel at the speed of 55 - 65 mph. This car has been back to the dealer 4 times for this problem. The dealer has told me that they don't know what it is. I requested a representative come and check the car. The response that i got was, "what your feeling in your steering wheel is commercialy acceptable to the industry." as a techinian myself, i believe that no new car should shake in the steering wheel. The manufacturer has declined my request to buy back my car. I need some help. All of the same cars that i drove from the dealer had the same problem. Something is not right. My wife and two small children drive in this car and i can't help but think, what if something went wrong. I would have never purchased this car had i known that it would have been this much trouble. I would like the car to be repurchased .
