Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“My car vibrates whenever I reach 60 MPH and continues to vibrates if I try to accelerate but stops when I decelerate. I was told it could be a balance problem but why would the whole car vibrate? I was also told it may be worn or old motor mounts, which I believe that more than it being a balance problem. I just need to know for certain so I know what to have replaced and how much I may have to spend.”
