“Since the purchase of my vehicle in 2000, there has been a continuous vibration in the front end as if either the tires are out of balance or the front needs aligning. I have continuously reported this to several dealers and as of this time none have been able to correct this problem..I, after being advised to, and at my own expense replaced all four tires to no avail.”
NHTSA complaint #10049248, filed 2003-12, 350 miles“While driving down the road at a rate of 55mph the car died out and we were having a hard time controlling it to get to the shoulder. We pulled over and tried to start the car and it would not start. We turned the key off and the lights on the dash would light up. I had to disconnect the battery. I connected the battery and the car started. Also I can be pulling out of my driveway and I hit my brakes and my car dies out. I go to start it and it will not start. I have to wait a bit and then the car starts. …”

The vehicle was stopped before any accident occurred and was towed to a dealership. Upon inspection, the left front tie rod nut loosened and caused the tie rod to break loose from the vehicle. The vehicle was towed back to the contact's residents without repair.”

Nlm consumer states at speeds of 45 MPH the back wheels vibrate up and down, they do not stay in contact with the road, the front wheels also tend to squirm left to right at these speeds, the problem tends to get worse the longer the vehicle is driven.”
