“Vehicle has vibration in steering when going about 50 MPH and vibration gets worse faster the vehicle is driven. Vehicle has had the vibration from the very first day it was purchased in december of 2005. Was told by the dealsership that vehicle needed tire balancing but that didn't solve the problem. I have taken the vehicle to the dealership about 6 times for the same problem since it was purchased. Dealership replaced two front tires on the Lincoln' recmendation but that didn't not solve the problem. They also replaced drive shaft and transmission and steering dampners. …”
