“My 1999 Ford escort zx2 has a very bad vibration problem. The vibration is felt through the steering wheel, through the floor and the brake pedal. The vibration is so bad that when stuck in traffic and stopped at lights my hands and feet sometimes go numb. I took the car to the dealer and was told this was normal for escorts. I contacted Ford, who stated that their engineers say this is a normal condition. …”
