| Just to add to the database of information, my Entourage Limited was built 6/06 and was delivered to the dealer I bought it from on 10/06. Fortunately mine has had none of the problems others have incurred, and has been virtually problem-free for almost 5,000 miles and several highway trips. I am having to have one tire pressure sensor/transmitter replaced, and the passenger-side power sliding door occaisionally will not latch the first time the door is closed. | |

Replying to: wlovett (Mar 20, 2007 7:32 am) So I scheduled another appointment for today. They found a Hyundai Technical Service Bulletin posted, # 06-50-013. This relates to an earlier post in this forum about using a special tire balancer. The technical bulletin states a two-plane dynamic wheel balancer is needed to correct the issue. Hyundai recommends the Hunter GSP 9700, which is a two-plane wheel balancer. My dealer found a local repair shop that has one and performed the balance today. The balancer found 3 of my tires off balance that were not detected using the standard balancer last week. It appears to have fixed the issue, though I want to drive it for a week before making the final decision.

Replying to: mommy03 (Apr 04, 2007 11:21 am) I was able to find the Techincal Service Bulletin online. Go to http://www.hmaservice.com and register for an account. This site is open to the public, it has some really great information. Once logged on, go to Service Information, choose your Entourage model, go to the TSB tab, Chassis, choose 06-50-013. If you want, you can post your email address and I will send the service bulletin to you. My shimmy started at 65MPH and progressively worse at higher speeds. At 75-80MPH the steering wheel would shake, I could feel a vibration in the seat and the center console would vibrate. These appear to have stopped after using the Hunter wheel balancer.

Replying to: wlovett (Apr 04, 2007 6:16 pm) Using the two phase balancer helped but I still feel a slight vibration. I fear the tires have a flat spot from sitting on the lot too long. I took it to the dealer for the 3rd time today. The agree there is a flat spot in the tires somewhere. They wanted me to drive it for 2000 more miles to see if the flat spot comes out. I did not agree, we are in the process of contacting the Regional Hyundai Rep. I would like the tires replaced. I will keep you posted on what they decide.

Replying to: mommy03 (Apr 11, 2007 3:28 pm) By the way, how much better did the dynamic balancing improve your vibration problem?

Replying to: mommy03 (Apr 11, 2007 5:07 pm) Its hard to tell how many tires are affected. The dynamic balancing helped quite a bit. The steering wheel would shimmy back and forth before the dynamic balancer. After the dynamic balancer its more of slight vibration throughout the entire van, still noticable but better than before. I think Hyundai is going to point fingers at the tire manufacturer, Hanook in my case, and expect them to fix it. Waiting to hear back from Hyundai right now.

Replying to: wlovett (Apr 12, 2007 3:57 pm) So the dealer replaced my Hankook's with the Kumho's. Unfortuantly this did not help. The vibration is still there, especially at 75mph. By having the same issue with the Hankook's and Kumho's I am wondering if the issue is not with the tires but something else. So now we are back talking with the Regional Hyundai Representative......
