SUSPENSION:FRONT, LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:DOORS:LATCH
TRUCK HAS A "VIBRATION" THAT THE DEALER CAN NOT CORRECT. FEELS LIKE A TIRE OUT OF BALANCE. TIRES BALANCED AND "VIBRATION" IS NOT AS BAD, EACH TIME TIRES ARE BALANCED THEY ARE FOUND TO BE OUT OF BALANCE. SERVICE MANAGER HAS TOLD ME THAT "I WOULD HAVE TO LIVE WITH THIS". MANUFACTURE SAYS "ALL TRUCKS HAVE THIS VIBRATION". THE REAR LEFT DOOR WILL NOT CLOSE IN FREEZING WEATHER TILL THE TRUCK HAS BEEN RAN LONG ENOUGH TO WARM THE INTERIOR, (ABOUT 5 MILES),SINCE THE FRONT DOOR LATCHES TO THE REAR DOOR IT WILL NOT CLOSE COMPLETELY. SERVICE MANAGER AT DEALER STATES HE HAS NOT HEARD ABOUT THIS PROBLEM.*AK
