Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: My truck experiences severe transmision noise when i apply brakes, came to a stop and then proceed.a noticeable clunking noise took place as if the transmission was broken.also my front tires wore excessively on the heels, and i was told by the dealer that the front end was misaligned. ofcourse i paid for a front end alignment but it didnt help the vehicle from shaking at speeds of 55+mph.also , the front suspension shimmies, shakes, and rattles over minor road imperfections. i feel like the steering wheel is telling me this vehicle is unsafe. i have never had an accident, and my vehicle is still under warranty. can someone offer help or advice? thomas j finley. *ak( dot number: )
