Why does my car feel like it is hitting rumble strips?

The problem is this: when driving between 35 and 45 mph, the car feels like it’s hitting rumble strips. Very consistent…not hesitating or anything, but just like hitting rumble strips in the road. Yet the roads are smooth. I have noticed the tachometer going up and down by about 200 RPM when it does it.

Why does my car Rumble at 50 mph?

Yet the roads are smooth. I have noticed the tachometer going up and down by about 200 RPM when it does it.

These are both with in my skill set. I also found this on a truck site “A possible cause for the shudder is a bad torque converter clutch (TCC) solenoid or a bad torque converter clutch pulse width modulated solenoid (PWM). Thanks again.

Why does my Honda Accord sound like rumble strips?

I put 450 miles on it yesterday and at freeway speeds, it runs like a charm. Same goes for speeds under 30. Just in that 35-45 zone, it gets really funky. I did a search in this forum and found a thread about the torque converter as a similar sounding issue, but I don’t think that’s the problem.

Why does my Chevy expedition have rumble strips?

We’re on our 4th Expedition and this one is a 2007 EL 2WD Limited. We love Expeditions and have never had an issue in the past. This one is apparently our “special” one… When I bought it (with ~70k miles) it spent a couple days in the dealer’s (a Chevy dealer) shop because of an “ignition issue”.
