Vehicle vibrates and shakes excessively at highway speeds, numerous repair attempts without resolve. Dealership beleives there is a problem with this model of truck and has told me that they have seen this problem often with this model truck. Manufacture claims no problem. So far I have had 3 sets of tires,gas shocks, several balances on tires and a tow package installed to try and solve problem. Dealership also mentioned trying to shim the drive train.
