Two days after I bought it, the shimmying was so bad that I took it for servicing. The dealer service people rotated the tires. It was still shimmying so that I took it back a second time. They rotated the wheels again, guaranteed that the problem was fixed, but it has gotten worse. Now it is difficult to drive the car even at 55mph. The service folks have asked to me to bring it in again, but I suspect the problem wont be solved for a long time. I am now concerned that there is something seriously wrong because even at idling speeds, my gear shaft vibrates with small amplitude vibrations which are unpleasent and something may be wrong with the transmission. This may be translating to the shimmy at higher speeds. Any solutions/comments will be appreciated. V. Seshadri (sesh) AT&T BL hounx!sesh, 82337757
