It's probably just looking for attention. Whatever you do don't laugh, it'll only encourage that kind of behavior. Take it to another shop and get it checked out or bring it back to the same people.

^heh, it's ticklish! [sm=smiley36.gif]

It could be a speed sensor issue. If your axles were recently replaced, it's likely related. The tone ring for each of the VSS is on the axles.
