Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: The frame was mis-engineered in mass, orientation and design to accomodate the chassis that would be riding on top of it, so much so that the driver feels a constant shuddering, a nearly constant steering wheel chatter, and poor dampening on even smooth or slightly bumpy roads. the vehicle also experiences a feeling of road weariness and sloppyness in turns. i have consulted with other owners and they (and a nissan engineer) say it's confirmed that the vibration is emenating from the back where the especially poor design exists and is channeled/amplified along the way up to the front of the vehicle.
