problem #1

May 272006

Passat 4-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 50 miles
Upon receipt of the vehicle from the dealership, a shuttering or vibration has been noticed between 65 and 80 mph. Original diagnostic efforts yielded a confirmation of the behavior from the dealership, but no solution. I brought the vehicle home and noticed that the lug bolts were not torqued appropriately. Tightening down the wheels improved the shaking for a short period of time, but the behavior returned within 24 hours. Subsequent diagnostic efforts by the dealership have yielded only a "minor vibration at speed" description with no proposed resolution.
