Vinration seems to be a common problem. Most have traced it back to their tires-either just bad tires or incorrectly balanced. I had a bad vibration problem that I tried to diagnose by doing stuff like pulling my driveshaft and getting my tires rebalanced. As with most others, the vibration started at about 60mph and quit (got better) at around 70mph.

In the end, I took a chance and bought another set and the problem is fixed. I'm not sure about your situation though, but have the dealers looked at the tires? What brand of tires are you running? I'm guessing these tires are what came on it when you bought it?

Cool, I'm getting so frustrated with my cable connection, I didn't notice earlier. Which Union Grove-Chilton County or Marshall County?

Talking Lemon Law

In the state of Alabama you have 24 months or 24,000 miles to file a claim if you have had to have the same documented problem with your vehicle 3 times or more repaired or attempted to be repaired.

I'm in Tuskaloosa!

well that puts me out of the range of the lemon law cause mine has 46k miles
but the damn think started around 24kmiles
and i took it in then but of course teck couldnot find the concern
how pile of ˟˟˟˟ the dealer in decatur is don't send anyone there

so i guess it's up to me to repair this problem
and the dealers will not give me the number to the rep and @ both places the main man who knoiws the # is out sick

i really think that toyota needs to check out the customer services or people skills alittle closer than do
