SUSPENSION:FRONT
AT 60 MPH, THERE IS CONSTANT, AGRIVATED VIBRATION ON THE FRONT END (STEERING WHEEL, FLOOR, PAN, PEDDLES, AND SEATS). I FEEL THE VIBRATION COME DOWN MY WRISTS, ARMS, UP TO MY SHOULDER. I CONSIDER THIS A SAFETY HAZARD AS IT CAN DISTRACT ME FROM BEING FULLY ALERT AND ATTENTIVE TO TRAFFIC. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THIS IS THE WORST NEW CAR THAT I HAVE EVER PURCHASED. *AK
