Vehicle experiencing problem with vibration whenever moving out of a tight parking space while turning the wheel. Also, fuse to power window kept blowing out for unknown reaso.; dealer notified and unable to correct the problem. Can NHTSA help inthis matter.

- Woodland Hills, CA, USA

Vehicle vibrates from 0 to 60 mph. It can be felt in the steering wheel, seats and center console. It is very noticeable when starting on an incline. In some cases it feels like something is banging. The dealer and mfg. Both tell me this in a normal condition and that there is nothing they can due to corrent this situation. I am afraid that as this vibration continues, something (drive shaft, break hose, trans or rear seals) will eventually start to break down or leak. If a break line or hose vibrates and begins to leak no telling what can happen !!!
