problem #1

Aug 152003

SL

  • Automatic transmission
  • 62,280 miles
Accessories: Volume knob fell off...not replaced yet. Overhead interior light fell off roof...repaired in August. Other:since around 40,000 miles this car has had a severe vibration, wether from motor or transmission, or "?" is not known. Vibration is so bad that you cannot see clearly out of rearview mirror when in park, or in drive with foot on brake. If you are sitting in car while in park, vibration can actually cause a numb feeling in your butt (I am serious...this is not a joke!!!) other times it is a fight to keep the car to a stop if in drive because of vibration and a "leaping" feeling. Dash panel vibrates terribly loud, and is very distracting from this problem too.
