My new Entourage has been at Planet Hyundai since Mon..it s Saturday...they replaced tires...Still shimmies...They think that it s a bad AXLE......How much can go wrong with a BRAND NEW VEHICLE??????????? They want to replace axle with Factory Rep from Hyundai s axle ..he only has 1000 miles on his axle...HELLO I wanted a NEW CAR...not a new car with used parts on it....I will pray that they will take this back...I am 8 months pregnant..THIS is the last thing I need to worry about

Replying to: typer_801 (Feb 07, 2007 1:02 pm) My other problem is a vibration that starts around 70 mph. By 80 mph, the steering wheel is practically shaking. They balanced the wheels and said they fixed it, but it actually feels worse than before they worked on it. I noticed a few other people who've mentioned a similar problem. Have you guys been able to get your problem resolved? If so, what needed to be done to fix it? So I will be taking my new minivan back to the dealer for the second time in 2 weeks to try and get these problems fixed.

Replying to: mommy03 (Feb 27, 2007 4:02 am) 1.) The Transmission must be in PARK for the doors to OPEN, (i cant tell you how many times my rear passengers felt locked in)but, they will actually close in any gear, AND 2.) The power door lock must be in the UNLOCKED position. 3.) I'm not sure what the child lock levers do, I dont have kids. 4.) and dont forget the Power switch in the ceiling consol, should be depessed in to be ON, i think. Wheel shimmy, I don't know, but they have rebalanced all four of my michelins, and it is much better, but there is still a shake or a harmonic signal around 75. I hope someone can figure this out....I'll bet its something weird like bad wheel castings, off center wheel studs, unbalanced rotors or off center rotors, off spec axle, or who knows what. It just ticks me off with as many posts about it on this site and the Kia site and other sites, that no one has found the cause. Lots of things seem to be ruled out (it happens on three different brands of tires Hongook,Michelin and Kumho ) Good luck

Replying to: capecoralbill (Feb 27, 2007 5:19 am) So you have the vibration at 75 mph as well? Does your Entourage shake worse over 80? I haven't been able to get it to over 80 often enough to see how serious a problem this is.

Replying to: davethecarnut (Mar 01, 2007 10:19 pm) Also some vibrations were seen in early Sedonas resulting from strut tower mounts being installed incorrectly. Hope this helps, you should not have to put up with any vibrations in a new van with new wheels and tires. George in Wisconsin. |

Replying to: burnie (Mar 05, 2007 3:59 pm) The better it's documented, the sooner it'll be fixed. Anyone shopping for a new one make sure you do a high speed test drive to make sure your wheels and tires are well balanced. -juice |
