Driving 45-55mph, vehicle would vibrate, but can be controlled. Taken to dealership twice for vibration. Had drivershaft replaced to correct problem. Also been to tire retailer due to possibility of tires causing problem. Tires were the problem. Contacted manufacturer, informed consumer nothing could be done. It was characteristic of truck, and could not be repaired. Consumer states vibration has existed in vehicle since purchased, consumer also states the vibration causes him to have to drive under 40 mph or over 50 mph to avoid the vibration.

We have changed tire brands. Transmission or driveshaft is still noisy, but does not seem to effect anything. It should be on recall but the car place said that this problem could easily be mistaken for losing the rear end. The one brake has continually not closed properly and therefor does not wear like the other 3.( dot number: )

1500 truck taken to dealer previously for front end vibration. Dealer said tire problem. Tire maker replaced tires. On day of incident, at speed of 10 mph, drive shaft fell out while truck jumped up/down on street. Truck towed to dealer location. Owner terrified by experience. If had been driving at normal highway speed would have resulted in crash.
