I am sure I know the answer here.. but sounds like the "shakes" have been pretty well fixed up with the TSBs.. yes? Never really knew about this issue till I saw a good deal on a '11 3.6R Ltd today.. its a manufacturer buyback .

Dealer gave me the Warranty service notes.. and claims the dealer performed any remaining TSBs.

So - are there still cases that are "incorrectible" and should I simply look past the car? Before this I was just looking at '11 2.5 Ltd's - NOT buybacks.


1 customer states vibration while driving, tech states road forced balance tire and performed test drive and ordered parts as per tsb
2 customer states vibration at highway speed, replace suspension compone

Two words for you: Stay away :)
Hopefully you didn't buy it.
