I ran over a Mattress
Got this email sent to me today... don't know if this is a repost or not, but I'm hoping its not as I found this very comical:
Driveline Vibration Issue - Possible Root Cause
This guy ran over a mattress and decided to keep going. The ensuing jumble finally whipped around enough to put a tear in the gas tank, the subsequent lack of fuel is what finally brought this vehicle to its knees.
It had still managed to drive 30 more miles decently with a 60lb tangle wrapped around the driveshaft.
This genius complained that the vehicle had a "shimmy" when driving it at high speeds.
This is what the dealership found..............

Saw the news article on this a few weeks ago... It's a Jeep owner; you can't expect them to realize that vibration isn't normal... Remember, "It's a Jeep Thing...You Wouldn't Understand"...
