Thank you - the engine light is not on and being a 2009 model would suspect that a 'worn inner joint'. Could this however be an error is equipment spec or faulty assembly ?
I have approx 11,000km.
This additional info may help: as I recall, the car was running really well ( no vibration at all) for the first 1000km, then while highway driving, I had to come to sudden stop do to traffic issue up ahead. The breaking was smooth and the car tracked well under hard breaking. But as soon as I got going again, that's when I noticed the vibration. I'm not certain if this is coincidental as the breaking applied would seem to be well within the performance standards of the car.
One last thought.. does it vibrate through the steering wheel, floor pan ... It still should be covered under warranty correct...? If it is floor pan then I would be looking at engine and drivetrain components... If steering then.. wheel balance, axles, steering rack or mounting bushings.
Hope this helps.. Let me know what you found..
Best to you... Jim
Thanks for the new info - the steering wheel appears to be fine.
I would say that the vibration is coming from the seat (suspect that this would also be the same as the floor pan). The vibration is slight at highway speed but is extremly noticable when power is applied when going up a steep hill.
Although still under warranty, there seem to be a certain reluctance from the dealer to seek out the problem. The dealer seems happier to once again rebalance my tire to see if that works.
