05 Pathfinder Shaking when accelerating...

[libd]

My 2005 Pathfinder has begun to shake really bad when I hit 40 mph.

The strange part is that the shaking stops if I take my foot off of the gas pedal so I don't think that it is a tire issue.

 

Has anybody else had this problem?

My old accord did the same thing, it was the tire balance. Whens the last time you had them balanced?

[BowTied]

how many miles? I bet u-joints.

Have the dealer check the front propeller shaft and u-joints. I have an 05 w/ 42k miles and I just had these replaced under warranty.

[jb77]

45k miles and rear drive shaft just replaced. No noticable shake only a squeaking noise from under the truck. I'm glad I opted for the extended warranty.

Sounds like wheel balance, bent wheel or alignment or a combination of the three.

 

 

Does it do this only when accelerating? Does it more or less go away around 60 mph?

They're really bad for u-joints. probably front and rear need replacing.

I have this same issue, and that is actually why I am here trying to see if I could resolve on my own. I have 40k on my truck. Did you get the problem fixed? Was it u joints? I had my wheels balanced so thats not it. would this be covered under the drive train warranty?
