VEHCLE VIBRATES WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED. THE VIBRATION IS MORE NOTICEABLE WHEN DRIVING OVER 65 MPH. PROBLEM WAS REPORTED TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE TIRES WERE CHANGED, A NEW DRIVESHAFT INSTALLED AND MOTOR MOUNTS REPLACED. CONSUMER CONTINUES TO EXPERIENCE VIBRATION PROBLEMS WITH THE TRUCK. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY FURTHER INFORMATION. *AK

WHEN THIS PROBLEM WAS FIRST REPORTED IN MAY 1999, I WAS TOLD I WILL EXPERIENCE VIBRATIONS IN THIS TYPE OF VEHICLE (SUV). THE PROBLEM HAS PERSISTENTLY GOTTEN WORSE. I WAS THEN TOLD IT WAS THE TIRES AND A BALANCE WOULD CORRECT THE VIBRATIONS. I HAVE HAD THE WHEELS BALANCE TWICE AND THE VIBRATIONS STILL EXIST. NOW I'M BEING TOLD THE CHASIS BEARING HAVE SAGGED.. SHOULD THIS TYPE OF DEFECT BE HAPPENING ON A 5 MONTH OLD VEHICLE?

FRONT END HAS ALOT OF NOISE COMING FROM IT, AND JERKS THE STEERING WHEEL FROM RIGHT TO LEFT WHEN HITTING BUMPS. DEALER HAS SEEN VEHICLE 3 TIMES, AND SAID IT WAS NORMAL. *AK

VEHICLE ALWAYS DRIFTS TO THE RIGHT AT ANY SPEED. MJS
