We have taken our marinar back at least 2 times complaining of outrageous road noise while driving. This is the worst vehicle I have ever driven or ridden in with this type of noise including diesel trucks. The dealer says it is the tires but they are the original tire that came with the vehicle (continentals). I will not drive the vehicle due to this road noise. Friends that have been in the vehicle with me can not believe the decibel level of the road noise and that it is unbearable. I have a friend of the family who also has a marinar and he also has taken his vehicle back to the dealer 3 times for this road noise to know avail. Can you advise me on what to do about this situation.
Dt: the contact stated while driving on an incline the 4-wheel drive engaged and disengaged which caused the vehicle to jolt. The dealership was unable to diagnose the problem, because they would not take it to an incline when test driving. An engineer with the manufacturer told the contact that because it was all wheel drive the four wheel drive activated when the vehicle detected a wheel slip. There have been no repairs made to the vehicle. *ak updated 1/25/2006 - whenever the consumer drove over uneven pavement she heard a clunking noise. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who indicated that everything was visually ok and the the manufacturer said the noise was a characteristic of the vehicle. After the vehicle's steering rack was replaced the consumer heard a loud humming/whining noise coming from the passenger side front wheel. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who diagnosed the problem as a faulty steering rack.
