“Vehicle begins shaking between 68-73 MPH on several different highways. I wanted to make sure it was not road conditions. The steering wheel doesn't shake but the vehicle vibrates. May be coming from the rear of the vehicle. Replaced all four tires with brand new and had them balanced, had the vehicle aligned. Same problem occurs. This seems to be a common issue. Vehicle has 34,212 miles. Had tires rebalanced after 150 miles of use. Issue did not go away.”
