    2010, 72,000 miles, regular dealer maintenance. After a stop, turning left, a "stuttering" can be felt like under the drivers seat location. Not all the time. No sound or other abnormalities. At first thought it to be a section of rough road surface, as I first noticed it at one particular corner.
    Any ideas...?
    Thanx...Charlie

    did you look to see if any of the covers were dragging?

    Thanx for the reply bisco.
    Figured a dragging cover would "sound" most of the time, not only on turns. Plus it feels like a heavier situation.
