Abs: while braking over semi-rough/rough surface, brakes seem to slip or disengage, causing extreme vibration. Transmission: while pulling trailer or accelerating uphill, excessive vibration occurs. Steering: while speeds 45 mph+, moderate vibration in front-end and sterring column. Suspension: while tiurning wheels maximum left or right, or driving over uneven surfaces, hear a clicking noise in front-end. Rear window: latch does not securely tighten window causing excessive wind noise.
The transmission experiences a constant noise in 2nd gear and 3rd, unable to be fixed.
