Test Drive Summary
| Summary |
While completing the test drive, the vehicle vibrated when accelerating and driving above 50 mph. This issue could be due to 1) broken motor mount or 2) Three of the vehicle tires are 5 years old and require replacement, and the R/R tire does not match the other 3 tires. |
Scan Tool Diagnostics
| Emission Status |
Not all emissions are set. Catalyst converter and oxygen sensor are not set. This could be due to the vehicle not having enough drive cycles for those components to pass the test, or it could be due to these components not able to pass the test, making them possibly faulty.
