“Vibration from center of the of the explorer, the problem gets worse every day . My consern is that I drive a lot and night vision after watching the rear view, side view mirrors after a while creates a visual adjustment period when looking back at the road at night it is a very big problem, the dealer to date has not taken it out at night and at this point the factory rep said it was normal. I have driven three other explorers and one of them are having the same problem, but they do no drive highway , so they are just living with it. …”
