Replying to: burnie (Mar 05, 2007 3:59 pm) How bad is your vibration? From your last message, I'm guessing your whole van shakes. Does it get worse the higher you get above 70? My dealer actually had the nerve to tell me that since it's not legal to drive over 70 mph, he can't test it to that speed and therefore he can't fix it. I reminded him that the Entourage should be able to drive at speeds over 70 without vibrating, and I'm asking him to fix my vibration, not drive it over 70 mph. Nevertheless, all he did was rebalance the wheels. Does anyone here think this is an adequate argument for them to make? They only tested it to 60 mph. The vibration isn't that bad - my husband doesn't seem to notice it. But at speeds over 80, you can actually see my hands shaking on the steering wheel. I'm trying to decide if this is just an annoyance I need to get used to or a serious problem with my new vehicle. I will look into calling corporate to complain. It doesn't sound like that will help though. My dealer claims not to have heard of any vibration issues with the Entourage.

File a complaint here: http://www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/ivoq/ That's the Office of Defects Investigation. If enough people complain and they see a pattern, Hyundai could be forced to do a recall, or at least a TSB to dealers. Who knows, maybe they can adjust their alignment specs a little or maybe the wheels aren't up to spec. |

Replying to: mommy03 (Mar 06, 2007 8:29 pm) I notice the shaking in the steering wheel at about 74mph. It gets progressively worse above 75mph. Its fine at 65-70mph. The shaking is not felt throughout the whole van, just from the steering wheel. Has anyone determined if the build date has anything to do with the shaking/vibrations issues? I ask because the production date on my Entourage is 4/06. So I assume its one of the earlier vans produced. Does anyone have an Entourage produced recently that has the issue also?

I test drove a Limited yesterday that had a Mfg date of 4/06. I had the van up to 80 MPH and there was no shimmy/vibration at all (since reading the forums I am paying close attention to this). There is another Limited on the showroom floor with a Mfg date of 3/06.

Replying to: ateixeira (Mar 24, 2007 6:48 am) I had a vibration at 70+, but after they rebalanced it for the 2nd time, it seems to have gone away. However, I now seem to have a new problem. At low speeds, pretty much as soon as the car starts moving, it feels rough, enough to be annoying. I have been ignoring it hoping it would go away but it hasn't. It smooths out at higher speeds (over 45) so it seems to be almost the opposite of my other problem. It's just kind of bumpy at lower speeds, which is really strange. Has anyone else experienced anything like this, or does anyone else have any idea what this may be?
