I've had the same problem since day one. I've had the wheels balanced twice but to no avail. It's not a serious shimmy above 80 but it's definitely there.


DOOR PROBLEMS: Seems to be a lot of complaints and I'm not saying this is the cause -- only a potential cause. Don't let people slam your doors shut. I can see how this could cause some rattles over time. One of the things that I have pointed out to everyone who rides in my car is how the doors automatically close by themselves if you help them along halfway and then just let them go. Try it yourself.
