When I first bought,my2000 Escort zx2,I noticed that there was a very excessive vibration felt while the car is running. It can be felt everywhere in the car. Front seats,back seats,everywhere. You can even see the steering wheel in a vibrating motion,and can see it in the outside door mirror. You can stand outside the car,and the front bumper and body panels are shaking also. I have had the car into the dealer seversl times and they keep telling me that this vibration is a characteristic of the Escort zx2. So they don't want to do anything about it. I guess they think if they keep telling me the same things every time I take the car in, that I will give up,and trade the car in on something else,then they would be off the hook. But they are wrong,because other then the bad vibration, my wife and I love the car. I just want it fixed. What do you think. Thanks.
