Default 2009 Caravan Vibration during acceleration

I just bought a brand new '09 Caravan, 3.3L engine, 4-spd tranny. So far so good. A few problems so far;
1. missing the 25th Anniv Edition emblem on pass side door
2. plastic cover missing on bottom of driver's side 2nd row seat. I cut my fingers the first time I pulled the Stow 'n' Go seat out of he floor
3. The overhead sunglasses storage compartment on centre ceiling console will not close
4. There is a loud vibration from under the van, sounds like the front right, when you accelerate from a stop, using gentle acceleration. It only vibrates at a certain engine rpm. It is an intermittent problem. There are days when it doesn't happen at all.

I took the van back to the Dealership. Problems 1 - 3 will be corrected when the new parts come in.

Problem 4 is intermittent, the Mechanic has heard several complaints, so far they haven't yet figured it out.

Has anyone else had this vibration issue and have you solved it?

Thanks,
Gord from Ajax, Ontario.

Sounds like 1-3 is normal fit'n finish type crap.

Has anyone checked the driveshaft balance? Fairly common, yet mechanics never seem to check for it...
