What owners wrote
When driving vehicle at various speeds, vehicle would shake. Driving at 60MPH or above vehicle shakes/vibrates uncontrollably. Driver still had control. Took to dealership & informed it's a manufacturer's defect. Was advised to put sand bags in rear of vehicle to prevent uncontrollable shaking.
Dt*: the contact stated that the vehicle's anti-lock brakes operated as if the wheels were locked up. Plus, the brake pedal pulsated and vibrated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer on 11/18/02 who determined that the front driver's side hub was bad, and replaced the hub at no cost. The vehicle was taken back to dealership on 06/26/06 because the ABS in the front began having problems again. The dealer determined that both hubs were defective and declined to repair the problem at no charge.
