Angry "vibe"

Got an FX4, with the 3.73 and goodyears. Have the vibration between 40-60. Took it to the dealer and they said I needed 3 new tires. My truck has just under 600 miles on it. Supposedly the tires got flat spots from sitting on the lot for months. Anybody else been fed B.S. from the dealers?

I've choked on the dealer bs. So far, my XLT that was purchased in July has had New tires, new wheels, driveshaft rotation, and a complete new rearend assembly. You might be asking yourself if this fixed it. I tell you NO it did nothing for my vibe at 55mph. WE are no in negotiations where the dealer wants to put aluminum wheels on my truck and I'm saying that is horse crap and requesting a vehicle dynamics report to illustrate why my truck is so defective it can't run steel wheels. I'm headed to DSB unless Ford buys me out and puts me in a new truck while replacing my undercoating and line-x bedliner, nerf bars, stainless fender trim and vent visors. Oh an one more thing, my truck has been in for this since oct/4/2004. Lets not forget the Sep/27-Sep/29 that it was in for this as well.

i've driven my new truck at various speeds trying to feel this 'vibe' that's apparently all the rage right now. i can't seem to find it. i'm starting to feel a little left out. maybe i should take it back to the dealer and see what's wrong
