hi guys, i'm making a separate thread so there would be clearer tracking as well as resolution to my problem....apprently not just me...and not just Philippine consumers of Kia Carens. but also other countries....
mine happens on high-speed runs:
** when braking (but my disk rotor's aren't warped)
** and sometimes on non-perfectly smooth pavement.
i brought the car to Kia Pasay last Feb 9, 2010 to report this problem. and after test drive with ser Elmer (Mechanic/Technician) he recommended to ser Henson (SA ) to change my front disk rotors, but i'm hesitant because they do look fine.... (i've seen pictures of warped rotors on the internet, and mine isnt).
so far in our Carens Club Philippines ser Valskie and ser Hanren ser Mschumacher have mentioned of somewhat similar issue.
i'm setting a link below for the US version (although with a V6 gas engine)....

Notes; interesting thought fm. PLP of that forum, says to jack-up or hoist the car and run at the same speed. to see if have some vibration or not....and isolate if its Driveline or Suspension related....meaning if it still does happen, then its more of like Driveline (transmission-drive shaft issue)....
another forum said (for a Hyundai Trajet-i think its related issue) says he had his half-shafts (axle ) replaced and it solved the problem.

also do note that, already had my Caren's wheel/tires balanced at the expensive shop in BridgeStone Global City...and same thing....would vibrate at high-speed with provocation fm. either road surface or braking....
