My mechanic is scratching his head about what is making my 2012 CT v6 4WD shudder/shake at 35-40mph and again at 70-75mph. When on the lift he cannot find any visible signs of something being wrong. But go down a side road at just about 40MPH and you can feel something is not right. As the driver you feel it in the wheel and pedals and seat. As a passenger, you sorta feel it. I think our bodies are just used to feeling stuff like these so the brain compensates. Driving with something which is prone to rattling sitting on the passenger seat (like and empty pet carrier), now doubt something is wrong.
My mechanic wants to wait and see if it gets worse so hopefully he can say ah-ha! when looking at the belly of the beast. He doesn't have to live with it every day. He also doesn't want me paying hundred to thousands of ours on a fishing expedition.
Anyone encounter anything similar.
My CT has 135,000 miles and is up to date on all of its servicings.
It does not change with engine speed.
It sorta feels like it is lugging, but forcing a kick down does not make it go away. Only speeding up or slowing down to get out of its trigger zone makes it go away.
It seems more pronounced when everything is good and warmed up.
