PURCHASED VEHICLE FROM DEALERSHIP. DROVE HOME ON THE EXPRESSWAY. AT 40-60 MPH AFTER FIVE MINUTES THE ENTIRE UNDER CARRIAGE STARTING VIBRATING AND MAKING A WHISTLING SOUND. WHEN I TURN THE VEHICLE LEFT OR RIGHT THE CAR LOOSES BALANCE. I BROUGHT IT BACK THREE TIMES TO THE DEALERSHIP AND IT IS NOT FIXED. THEY CHANGED THE WHEEL BEARINGS BOTH SIDES IN THE FRONT, AND A WHEEL ALIGNMENT WHICH DID NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM. I PURCHASED THIS AT M&I MOTORS IN HIGHLAND PARK ILLINOIS.
