  • 5,000 miles
Intermittently while driving there was vibration in the rear end of the vehicle. Tires were rotated 4 times, but the vibration still occurred. Also, at 5,000 miles, cooling fan bearing/hub squeaked because of moisture build up. The fan belt was replaced. Squeaking noise recurred at 10,000 miles. Dealership lubricated the fan belts. But, the squeaking noise recurred at 35,0000. The fan belt needed to be replaced again.
