Description of the problem	This car has the v6 engine in it. I noticed a slight vibration when driving at about 40 mph when the car had 6500 miles on it. I took it to the dealer and they kept it for a week and said their experts in california could not see it on the computer data collected. Over a period of several months, i had it in for the same issue and finally they replaced the torque converter. The issue got considerable worse after that. I brought it back several more times, a total of over 30 days in their shop, and they now say this is normal for the car. They say the variable cylinder management (vcm) system is pulsing at 50 hz to save fuel and this pulsing causes a resonance that i am feeling and hearing. They say it is not a safety issue but i don't believe them. The vibration and noise now occurs at any speed from 15 to 60 mph. In my experience, any mechanical system that hits a resonate frequency eventually fails. The dealer's one mechanic told me this is the worst he has ever felt or heard but he can't do anything about it unless the california boys approve it. He said if he unplugs the vcm the noise and vibration go away. They told me if i paid them $6500 they would give me a new car. Any help you could provide would be appreciated.
