  • Automatic transmission
  • miles
The front end is vibrating at any speed. Dealer has done front alignment, replaced the front tires, and the rotors were turned. Did not remedy the problem. The consumer states that the dealer will not replace, but will only turn (three times) to be turned less than three months. The problem still exists. The seventh time the vehicle has been in the shop for one problem or another, and feels that the vehicle is a lemon. The consumer also states that the dealer had the vehicle for twelve weeks for a knocking noise in the engine. A valve adjustment seems to remedy, the front end vibration still not repaireed.
