OK here's a good one. Drove home from work two days ago in my truck which has never had a single vibration problem in its 1350 miles. At about 35-50 miles per hour and about 3 miles into the drive, it started. It got really bad around 50 mph to the point that my outside mirrors were shaking from the vibration. It didn't matter what rpm I had the truck at, but did diminish as I slowed down under 35 mph.
Got home and went to put the parking brake on and noticed it clicked once and came back up! It appears the brake had not completely depressed when I started out the trip but it was up enough that the parking brake indicator light was off and I had zero noticabke drag or slow down from it being just slightly applied until I got to my hill in my neighborhood and could hear the rear gears kinda clunk from the slack when I let off the gas. The brakes did smell a bit once i got out but only the rears.
Took the truck out on errands today and made sure the brake completely depressed, zero issues or vibrations today all day! Now I'm not taking away form anyone's claims of faulty vehicles but this seems like it could happen rather easily and the symptoms are identicle to what is described here. It could be possible that the parking brake may be at fault for some people's vibration issues. It could be sticking or not completely depressimg when released. Just a though and may be worth looking into
