Jan 2015 PCM Flash to resolve VCM Vibration at light throttle. This improved the problem, but VCM overall has a design flaw in that it creates vibration at light throttle between 60 and 70 MPH once engine is warm. Rattle in drivers door. Dealer cannot hear it. It has become worse now so taking it back to attempt fix again.
