UNKNOWN OR OTHER

ALWAYS WHEN VEHICLE IS IN LOWER GEAR, WITH RPMS BETWEEN 1-2, THE VEHICLE WILL SUDDENLY BEGIN TO VIBRATE/SHAKE AND FEELS LIKE YOU'RE RIDING OFF THE ROAD ON AN INTERSTATE (LIKE THE SPEED RIDGES IN THE PULL-OFF LANE. IT IDLES GREAT, SEEMS TO CHANGE GEARS SMOOTHLY (AUTOMATIC). SOMETIMES THE VIBRATION IS MINIMAL BUT OTHER TIMES IT'S QUITE NOTICABLE, BUT USUALLY LASTS LESS THAN 15 SECONDS. IF THE RPMS ARE OVER 1.5 IT ONLY DOES IT LESS THAN 5 SECONDS. I WONDERED IF IT IS FAULTY MOTOR MOUNTS OR TRANSMISSION MOUNTS? I'VE HAD TIRES ROTATED, BOUGHT A NEW SET OF TIRES, SHOCKS ARE FINE. I'VE TRIED EVERYTHING.

ENGINE

I HAVE TO REPLACE SPARK PLUGS EVERY WEEK. THE ENGINE EITHER KEEPS MAKING THE PLUGS FOUL OUT, OR IT BURNS THE TIP RIGHT OFF THE ENGINE. I'M STARTING TO SEE FROM THE COMPLAINTS THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE. I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING THE VEHICLE WITH MY 6 KIDS BECAUSE OF HOW BAD IT KEEPS MISSING AND TRYING TO DIE. I CHANGE PLUGS THEN DRIVES WELL FOR ABOUT A WEEK.
