I have had more problems with this vehicle than all of the cars i have owned. i purchased this car to be safe and never have to worry about it breaking down. i t has been in the shop more than not. the latest is that it started vibrating above the speed of 45. who could feel safe in a 3 month old vehicle that continuously has things wrong with it? i have contacted the dealeer and the manufactoer, who assure me that this is "probably the last thing that will happen" i want to get my $ back and i forwarn all, i am not exaggerating. *ak

Driving at highway speeds (60 mph or more) intense vibration is felt. it makes me feel as if i am out of control. i test drove another one that did the same thing and foolishly thought it was just that one. i am returning the vehicle to be looked at. the service person told me others have been coming back with the same problem. when i asked what the problem turned out to be she wouldn't tell me ! something fishy going on here. *ak
