Alignment and wheel balance are definitely the first step. I *highly* rec getting it done at a shop with a Hunter machine so that you can find out if the wheels are round and true. You can find a shop using this site (and learn a lot of wheel and tire issues): http://www.gsp9700.com/ > >2) Seatback release - mine too. This is a well known problem with the cable >stretching.

You might want to just replace the cable. The TSB has a fix of installing some washers to compensate for the stretch in the cable. Mine were tough to pull even after the washers were installed so the cables were replaced. They work like new. >3) SID missing line - mine too. Dealer replaced the SID display.
