Van will make a vibrating noise that is not felt through the steering wheel or pedals at approximately 45mph. It will again at highway speeds 65+mph when the vehicle is shifting in and out of overdrive make the same audible vibration. Local Ford dealer attributed this to a manufacturer recall of the drive shaft. Driveshaft has been replaced or worked on at three different points of time over the last several years. Problem has never been fixed. Currently as of 5-14-21 Ford dealer has identified the problem to be the torque converter at the expense of $4,000.
