THE VEHICLE HAS AN ABNORMAL VIBRATION AT SPEEDS OF 60 AND ABOVE. THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKES VIOLENTLY. YOU CAN FEEL THE VIBRATION IN THE BACK SEAT TOO. THE DEALERSHIP HAS TOLD ME I SHOULDN'T BE GOING THAT FAST AND BECAUSE THEY DON'T WANT TO DRIVE THAT FAST THEY CANNOT DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. I HAVE NOTICED THE PROBLEM SINCE PURCHASING THE TRUCK ON NOVEMBER 30, 2005. I FEEL THIS COULD BE A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. *JB
