This vehicle has moderate vibration at highway speeds. The dealer has done the following to try and eliminate the problem: 1). balanced all 4 tires - 14oct04. 2). adjusted the steering rack, and balanced 4 tires - 18oct04. 3). replaced front tires, and balanced - 25oct04 (am). 4). replaced rear tires, and balanced - 25oct04 (pm). The dealer's service manager rode with me (during the test drive) following each of these events, and the vibration still exists. Also, the exterior finish has a rough feel to it. It appears that this vehicle was in an area where clear coating as being applied (to a different vehicle), and was not properly protected. Visually, one cannot tell. Touching the vehicle, the exterior surfaces are not smooth to the touch.
