From day one there has been a vibration in the truck at 35-45 mph and an at 70 mph. I had front end alignments,tires balance,new tires and new wheels. Still have the problem. Idled roughly at stop lights. Two new fuel pumps in 3 months. Drive seat makes a popping nosie when making a right turn. Service engine soon light comes on for no reason. Accelerator pedal sticks.
On multiple occasions the truck after traveling 6 to 10 miles at 70+ miles per hour would start to violently shake and it would not stop until you came to a complete stop. It started out doing it once a week but got progressively worse until it was doing it every day. It has been to the dealer on 8/5/99, then again the week of 8/23 through 8/27/99, and returned again 9/14/99, they called me back they could not get it to duplicate the problem. I returned to the dealer on 9/16/99 and took the service manager for a ride and just like before after traveling 7 miles at 72 miles per hour the truck began to violently shake with him being the third witness besides myself. The truck is still at the dealership as of 10/27/99 and I think it needs to be filed as a lemon under the nc general statute 20-351, so that no one else ends up with it or gets hurt or killed in an accident.
