19220 mi The vehicle developes a vibration and low frequency noise between 30 and 80 kph with the most vibration at 50 kph in drive and with MDS activated. Although several dealers acknowledge the vibrations, they respond with "everything is normal" answer. 
21080 mi While on vacation, the dealer had 30 days to repair the problem. Chrysler engineers were involved but no solution was available. A flash was available for the ECM but the engine is rough now. I was told to continue driving in fourth gear.  
35340 mi A Chrysler TSB hd been issued for MDS and other drivability issues. It did help the high speed noise issues but did not help the annoying MDS vibrationn/noise complaint. Chrysler Canada was contacted for help but none offered. Not happy.
