#219 of 224 car vibrates by turtle2

My car started to vibrate about two weeks ago when I bought new tires. One car mechanic said it was thecontrol arm bushings. I had them fixed but the car still vibrates. It is worse uphill and less
on the freeway - at higher speeds. Someone else said it could be the engine mounts, bad axel..... Has anyone experienced similar problem? If so, please share - before I spend ridiculous amounts of money.... Help!
I have a 2005 element with about 140,000 miles on it. Everything else is great.

It seems so obvious that your vibration problem relates to the tire change that I'm sure you tried to eliminate that as the cause. What exactly did you do?#221 of 224 Re: car vibrates [turtle2] by bigfur

I will freely admit im not the brightest bulb on the tree but.... sounds to me like they didnt balance the tires properly.

This year we have had maybe 16 inches of snow and none of it has lasted more then a few days. The greenies can kiss my bumper (or rear end either way) im all in favor of "global warming" lol

Thanks for the get back - no, the car would not start in either park or neutral.

I actually received a recall notice on my 2004 Element for this transmission malfunction. It said that in some models the transmission appears to be in park or engaged but isn't and if I noticed my car rolling after I parked I was supposed to take it to the dealer for a complete replacement on them. My car hasn't shown any signs of having this malfunction although I have experienced the oil spraying out for no apparent reason and the airbag light staying on after my car was hit during a hurricane. If you have an older model Element with either problems starting or parking/taking off from park you should contact Honda to see if your covered under the recall. Perhaps you moved and never received the notice or you bought the car used and the former owner got it. Good luck!
