I drive a 2007 LS460 L Touring 69k, when I'm driving at 65 smooth as butter but once I get to 70-75 it starts to shake. It's driving me crazy. I've got the tires rebalanced and replace new oem rotors and pads. Can't find out the problem.
View 14 RepliesSo, I started my journey in getting vibrations out of my car at the dealer (I know, I know, but it's CPO) - had rotors resurfaced, brake job, fluid flushed etc. That worked with pedal pulsing etc.
Now, fast forward 6 months - still have a notable shake at times 40-45, 70-80mph indicated. Took it back to dealer; tires are shot - I figured just a rotate, balance and align would be the cure. I bit the bullet, put on some MXVs and got the car aligned - again, at the dealer. Old tires had the edges fully worn (outside).
Today, after a 200 mile drive, the vibrations are back, and I REALLY don't want to go back to my dealer a third time to resolve this - in addition to not wanting to destroy a brand new set of tires. Who can I turn to to get this under control?
I have 2007 LS460 (bought a week ago) with 88000 miles on it. Recently I found a very strange issue, that the car shakes (you can definitely feel it, but not too serious) when I stop at red light.
But the issue goes off at night. It turns out to be the headlight. When I turn on the headlight the car barely shakes, so that's why I do not have the problem at night.
Is it the alternator's problem? Or the battery? I hope it is not the alternator..
In addition, I brought it in to Lexus dealer and they did a health check. They said they did not find any code and all systems are OK. Does it mean that if they say OK, then at least I will not see big problem right now?
I have a 2007 gs 350 awd with about 98k miles. I recently started noticing this strange vibration whenever i stop at a red light. I would describe the vibration as a shiver of some type where the RPM kinda drops. After the vibration, I started noticing my car using a lot of force on the freeway and giving me very low mileage. I did some research and changed the motor mounts, and cleaned the throttle. This slightly fixed the vibration but cleaning the throttle fixed the low mileage/using extra force when driving at high speeds. but the vibration still seems to be a problem. Also, does the exhaust possibly have any role in the vibrations?
View 4 RepliesI had a balancing problem with some tires I bought with the car. At about 80 they shook and hard enough to not want to drive at that speed. I replaced them with Falken tires and it was so much better, but......
At 75-82 mph I still have a shake in the steering wheel. I bought the tires from Discount and they claim the rim is bent and they cannot completely balance the tire. I am going back once more to get a definitive response.
I am at a loss at what to do next. My other Lexus was smooth at any speed, even at 90. Smooth. 2007 Lexus es350
Shaking in the back an also roaring noise.....
View 2 RepliesI just purchased a used 2007 Lexus GS 350 AWD. I had it inspected and there were some minor problems (air filter, small oil issue) but nothing big. Driving it, I've noticed that the wheel shakes a little bit when applying brakes and based on my google searches, it's likely a rotor problem. I've literally only driven the car less than 100 miles since it was inspected. Does the inspection place (Tires Plus) bear any responsibility for clearing the inspection on the car? Should I take the car to Tires Plus to look at or should I take it somewhere else?
View 11 RepliesI just bought the car a less then a month highway speeds car shakes at 120km/h. I just complained to Toyota dealer ship and they put on brand new front rotors and did alignment at highway speeds the car still is shaking and it pulls to the left can it just be tires alone or back rotors because they didn't replace those.
View 6 RepliesI had new tires put on, front end alignment done, had to have tires rebalanced and still major shaking between 40 -60 mph. What it could be??
View 1 RepliesIn my 4 runner when I slowly accelerate between 30 and 40 mph just as I can hear the car about to shift gear the car begins to shake when I than accelerate the shaking stops. Brought it to a shop and they changed a spark plug and coil they say was mis firing, but I pick the car up and the problem is still there. Their diagnostic shows no problems, yet the shaking is still there when slowly accelerating between 30-40, no check engine light has ever come on. While it shakes if I shift the car from D to 4 the shaking stops, and if I speed hard through 30- 40 it doesn't shake, just when I slowly accelerate.
View 5 Replies2007 Accent Hatchback. Put gas in it from an Exxon we have bought from before with no problems. My kids car, running on vapors, put 1/2 tank of gas in. Pulled out of gas station and car starts running really rough, shaking. Still running though. I have gathered some knowledge from other threads, like timing belt needs to be changed (65000 on car). I replaced the plugs as an initial attempt at correcting the problem. Runs better, not great. Saw a thread with changing to better gas, will try that.
View 11 RepliesI have a 07 Explorer with the 4.6 that just developed a problem. It has 75,000 on it and has all of sudden started shaking at idle and acceleration. The acceleration issue doesn't seem to occur until after 45mph. I have cleaned air filter and MAF sensor. Still need to put a code reader on it. Where to start troubleshooting.
View 3 RepliesI have a 2006 rx330 which vibrates bad between 40-60. I had a my drive shaft balanced and new joints installed but still shakes. I have bridgestone dueler alenza tires with 5k on them, had them all rebalanced. Still shakes. I have 205k on her.
View 12 RepliesI thought I'd post an update about my front end shakes that I've been working on eliminating since I bought my SC. They used to occur anywhere between 55-70 mph. The remaining shake occurs around 65-70 mph. I should mention that when I added H&R 25mm wheel spacers in the back and 20mm spacers in the front. I had the shakes both before and after adding the spacers though. The following list is what I've done over the past couple of years to try to eliminate my shakes:
1) New tires - Bridgestone Potenza's, nice tires, better ride.
2) Replacement, chrome, OEM wheels. Look nice.
3) Road force balancing.
4) Steering rack was replaced with a rebuilt unit because the old one was leaking. Came with inner tie rods and I put on new outer tie rods at the same time. No change in shaking.
5) Daizen polyurethane lower control arm #2 bushings.
6) Daizen upper control arm and lower control arm bushings.
7) Daizen steering rack polyurethane bushings. Still not perfect, but this made a huge difference.
I did the steering rack bushings today. I've really, really developed a dislike for Lexus steering bushings!
Some background: I had issues with my '01 LS430 steering bushings @ 85K miles. My only choice was to replace them with OEM. I should have replaced them at 50K. They were really, really awful. The interesting thing, though, is that they physically looked pretty good. The result is amazing; nice and tight.
The bushing design of the SC is essentially the same as the LS. But luckily we have more choices with our steering rack bushings than the LS crowd. I began to hang around the GS guys because their front end is quite similar. The '98-'05 GS430 uses the same steering rack and bushings as our SC. Sewell sells both OEM and an aftermarket polyurethane solution for around $30 complete.
At this point my SC tracks very, very well. The polyurethane suspension bushings probably add a bit of harshness to my ride but I don't find it objectionable and it's a reasonable tradeoff for the added precision in the front end. I don't believe that the polyurethane steering rack bushings have any tradeoffs at all. The remaining shake that I'm experiencing is pretty darn subtle but I'm not done. I'm going to rotate the tires tomorrow and see if anything changes. I'm also looking at toe in. My front tire wear tells me that I don't have enough. I've been running factory settings but I'm going to experiment with a bit more toe due to the additional road forces created by the wheel spacers. I don't give up easily!
I have a 2007 Ford Fusion 4.0L AWD. One day I went to pass a slower car and accelerated rapidly, but the car responded with loss of power and shook to a stop and would not re fire. I took it to the dealership and they said two cylinders were not firing and a fuse was blown. I looked on the internet and some people said their coils go bad or plug wires. I asked the dealership if that was the cause and they said absolutely not, but it's the ECM. They replaced the ECM and 2 days later my CEL came on and I took it back to the dealership and they told me my catalytic converter was bad and I could drive it until I had the money to replace it. Then a couple days go by and I was passing a tractor on the highway, I slowed down to 45 mph to make the pass and as I began to accelerated I felt a thunk, then about a mile later it started cutting out and shaking. This time it would re fire but idle rough. I tried on/off 3 or 4 times then it idled o.k. I then took it back to the dealership and this time they said it's all 6 coils.
View 7 RepliesI have an 07 f150 v8 5.4 and it idles very rough. When i start it it seems to start really rough and just about everytime im stopped its shaking just enough to annoy me. Do you think its the spark plugs? I took into the dealer about a month ago and they said everything was fine. But its still doing the same thing. Also the A/C tottaly sucks is that they way it is? When I accelerate the cold air gets kinda warm and it doesn't get cold until i get up to speed.
View 14 RepliesI have a 2007 Ford Expedition with approx 135k miles with a 5.4. At approx 45 miles per hours it starts shaking and shuttering. It feels almost like you ran over one of those traffic bumps. I've had quite a few issues I've been working so I recently changed all my plugs with motorcraft platinum and all new COPs.
When I am going approx 45 miles per hour it will shutter for about 1-2 seconds with overdrive on. You can almost time it that it will do it every 4 seconds. With overdrive off, you can feel something dragging down the engine and hear a light grinding noise or a mechanical sound but the shuttering is less. I feel there is something definitely cycling approx every 4 seconds.
When i am doing heavy acceleration I feel that it has adequate power and now that I've replace the plugs/cops I don't feel any significant misses etc under hard acceleration (before I changed the plugs/cops I did feel misses).
So my 2006 GS300 has been shaking/vibrating when I decelerate (not using the brakes, just taking the foot off the gas) during highway speeds (65+ mpg). I took it to a mechanic & he said that it was the alignment, which he fixed but the car still does it.

View 14 RepliesI have a Toyota Yaris '07 ... The car has been running pretty rough and ready over the last few weeks... During idle, it started rattling & shaking pretty hard... this progressed with the add-on feature of changing revs during an otherwise steady drive..... It chose the (in)opportune time of driving with our 3-year-old son, grumpy at that time, down heavily trafficked busy roadways during the holidays and stalled 3 x times.... It is in the garage/service center for the 2nd time ... They are stumped. They've checked air, fuel mix, filters, injectors, spark plugs, etc., basics. Computer diagnostics show nothing (briefly showed fault at Cylinder #4 but then that changed and now showing nothing). Toyota Technical is (apparently) stumped. They are talking about needing to order a new computer from Japan (minimum $1200 just for the part).
View 9 RepliesHave a 2007 Sonata (2.4 L inline 4) and been plagued with rough/shaking car when initially started and pull to stop, and generally goes away when fully warmed up. Recently had oil change and service area switched me to a lower viscosity oil (5W30 to 5W20) and checked a solenoid and it was fine. Also did a fuel service treatment I suppose in an attempt to flush out stuff........I was a little surprised he didn't pursue talking about tuning up aspects but maybe none of those codes flashed......a repeating code I do have is Code 11.........though I confess when the codes refer to emission stuff I sort of ignore them.......
