Re: Another Vibration question
I'm pretty sure this truck falls into the NC lemon law now, and you can force the dealer to buy it back. The North Carolina Lemon Law allows the manufacturer of the new motor vehicle:
* 4 chances to fix one defect, or
* Vehicle in shop for 20 cumulative business days over 12 months of a warranty, for series of different defects, or
* Defect causes substantial impairment to value of vehicle (safety issue)
I have a 2006 DC 4WD and I have a slight flutter in the steering wheel between 55-65 MPH. You really can't even feel it in the truck at all, the steering wheel just goes flutters. I noticed the problem during the test drive and the dealer tried balancing the tires then. That helped some, but didn't totally get rid of the problem. Since balancing did help, I've decided to wait till I rotate them for the first time and see what happens then. Hopefully the vibration goes away in the steering wheel and I can blame it all on a crap tire. From reading all the posts, however, I'm not holding out much hope for this one.
At least you're hooked up with a good dealership it seems...if that's any solace.
