| Description of the problem | Vehicle vibration - after about 8k miles a vibration started in the seat and steering. Tires were rebalanced using a road force balancing machine. Then the vibration would come and go even at set speeds. But would get worse going around turns at highway speeds. Dealership did a "fix" which didn't change anything. No matter the load in the car 5 people in the car or empty vibration comes and go. They say the issue was fixed in 2012 models had a loaner while car was in for the 2 day fix. Same vibration issue as i had. The only good thing about this fix. My rear tires are wearing better then they were before it. The outside of my tires were wearing funny even when the alignment was within spec. *kb |
