Vehichle has had a vibration since it was new. The dealer assured me that it could be repaired. I have had the vehicle back twice. The vibration is in 3rd gear and 5th gear. The vibration in 3rd gear is from 2,000-3,000 rpms. In 5th gear, it is from 1,200-2,100 rmps. The drive shaft has been replaced. Wheels and tires checked okay. Tires and wheels balanced okay. The driveshaft runout checked. Driveshaft rotate and recheck runout. Checked and replaced rear axle. Shaft assembly rear axle replaced. The vibration still persists. I'm considering a buy-back. I don't know what my options are. Could you advise?.
Substantially loud swirling, hissing, grinding, whinning noises from the transmission, clutch, and driveline (drive shaft) area. Four (4) times with same problem. Vehicle with dealer as of may 24, 2000 till present.
Was driving the vehicle approx. 65mph when the driver heard a loud banging noise under the front wheel. Driver still had control. Had vehicle towed to dealer. Mechanic checked vehicle & noticed driveshaft was cracked & needed replacing. Was also informed that no parts were available for the driveshaft & would have to be ordered.
