Example complaints
Transmission and drivetrain: “This car vibrates when traveling at speeds of 40mph and 65mph. Significant vibration can be felt in the center console and armrest.

Vibration can be felt in the steering wheel and the driver and passenger front seat. Tires were road force rebalanced by the dealer, but the problem persists.
