THIS IS AN ONGOING, INTERMITTENT PROBLEM THAT STARTED APPROX. 6-12 MONTHS AGO AND HAS STEADILY WORSENED. THE STEERING WHEEL VIBRATES RAPIDLY UP AND DOWN, AND GENERATES A LOUD MACHINE-GUN LIKE NOISE. THIS OCCURS INTERMITTENTLY AND LASTS ANYWHERE BETWEEN 0 - 15 SECONDS. IT CAN OCCUR ON SMOOTH AS WELL AS BUMPY ROADS. IT GENERALLY HAPPENS ON LOCAL ROADS AT SPEEDS BETWEEN 35 - 40 M.PH.
