Serious vibration when accelerating or holding speed; smooth when coasting

Hello,

If problem only occurs 'under power' sounds like a u-joint (driveline - rear wheel drive) or a cv-axle (front wheel drive). Check for excessive play, fluid, boot tear and breakage.

Car vibrates while accelerating, when coasting no vibration

I had a similar issue,turns out it was the drive shaft being a little loose,get it put on a lift and see if you have any play either from transmission or coupling areas.

I have 2003 Dodge Durango and when I accelerate above 40mph there is a vibration. When I remove foot from gas the vibration stops. Can coast at speeds with no vibration.

How many miles on your Durango? This could be a failing U joint on either driveshaft. Could also be a ties out of balance or going bad.

Since the vibration goes away when coasting, I am voting for a driveline issue.

Vibration after 50 mph, and when accelerateing after 50 mph, worse when you accelerate, very little when coasting. but only after 50 mph

Welcome to fixya the best thing to do is check the rims for imperfections and slight bents that causes the vibrations at that speed go to www.collisionrepairadvice.com to get a wheel repair company to look at.

I would suggest having your universal joints checked out , sounds like a bad joint or bearing somewhere in the rear end, if you can get your speed up to about 50, put your rav in neutral and let it coast if it stops vibrating, it most likely is your problem
