CURRENTLY LEASING 2005 TOYOTA LAND CRUISER. THIS IS THE SECOND ONE SINCE ORIGINAL PURCHASE. AFTER 1500 OR SO MILES THE CAR STARTED SHAKING. I HAVE HAD IT IN FOR SERVICE CHECKING FOR TIRE BALANCE, AND I HAVE ALSO PAID FOR ALIGNMENT ETC. AFTER COMPLAINING TO TOYOTA CORPORATE THEY AUTHORIZED 4 NEW TIRES AND LOCAL DEALERSHIP CHECKED THE CAR. THEY DIDN'T FIND ANYTHING TOO SIGNIFICANT BUT AGREED TO TRY THE NEW TIRES. IM WONDERING IS THIS A TRANSMISSION ISSUE. SINCE THE NEW TIRES THE SHAKING IS WORSE. THE INVESTIGATION IS STILL ONGOING, AWAITING TOYOTA TO APPROVE THE NEXT STEP. I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE WITH OTHER 2005 LAND CRUISERS. *NM
