What owners wrote
Shake/shudder while driving straight on highway at 72 MPH up to at least 90 MPH. Steering wheel, center counsle, and seats shake. Goes away when not accelerating. Balanced tires and did not fix. Dealer then balanced tires and alignment was completed. This also did not fix. Dealer kept my car for almost 2 weeks and replaced torque converter. This still did not fix it. Have to take it in for a 3rd time. Make me feel dizzy and nauseous.
