I HAVE A VIBRATION ON MY PICKUP THAT HAS ALWAYS BEEN THERE SINCE IT WAS NEW, BUT IT GOT WORSE AND HAPPENS ALL THE TIME ON DEC 22, 2008. IT WOULD VIBRATE AROUND 65 MPH BUT NOT OFTEN SO I THOUGHT IT MAY BE ROAD CONDITIONS. IT HAS BEEN AT THE DEALER UNDER WARRANTY FOR A TOTAL OF 8 DAYS ON 2 OCCASIONS. ON THE FIRST TIME THEY REPLACED THE TORQUE CONVERTER AND WHEN I PICKED IT UP IT WAS THE SAME, I DO NOT BELIEVE THEY EVEN TOOK IT FOR A TEST DRIVE. THEY HAVE HAD IT FOR 4 DAYS THIS TIME AND CAN NOT FIGURE IT OUT. *TR
