Vibration from center of the of the explorer, the problem gets worse every day . My consern is that I drive a lot and night vision after watching the rear view, side view mirrors after a while creates a visual adjustment period when looking back at the road at night it is a very big problem, the dealer to date has not taken it out at night and at this point the factory rep said it was normal. I have driven three other explorers and one of them are having the same problem, but they do no drive highway , so they are just living with it. The dealer said that the short frame vehicles are noted for this problem. The factory rep said it it just the way it is. Nlm.
