POWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE:DRIVESHAFT

THIS VEHICLE IS EXHIBITING SOME OF THE SAME SYMPTOMS AS PREVIOUSLY EXPERIENCED WITH THE RECALL NUMBER INDICATED (97V204000). THIS RECALL WAS DONE IN EARLY MARCH 1998. THE RESONANCE, WHICH OCCURES WHILE THE VEHICLE IS NEITHER BEING PULLED BY THE DRIVE TRAIN NOR THE ENGINE BEING PUSHED BY THE DRIVE WHEELS(FLOATING BETWEEN ACCELERATION AND DECELLERATION), IS BEGINING TO BE IN THE DRIVE TRAIN, JUST AS IT HAD BEEN BEFORE THE RECALL. IS IT POSSIBLE THAT THE RECALL PROCEDURE WAS INCORRECT, OR NOT COMPLETELY ENGINEERED? GIBBONS MOTOR SALES, DICKSON CITY, PA HAS IN MY PAST EXPERIENCE BEEN COMPETENT. THEY WERE THE SERVICING DEALER. I FEEL THAT THE PROBLEM IS RETURNING. I AM UNSURE IF THE COMPANY WOULD BE OBLIGATED TO REPAIR THIS PROBLEM AGAIN?
