Default Would appreciate vibration feedback

Hi all,

I've been dealing with the dealership to get rid of an annoying vibration at 55mph-80mph (90kmh-130kmh). So far, the dealership has been very don't-give-a-sh*t about fixing this

I tried both the summer and winter tires (on their own rims) balanced them (on very good machines) and tested for trueness/high-spots etc.. No change in the vibration. I was expecting the winters to be better because they're quite new, but no dice.

I feel the vibration evenly distributed between the seat and steering wheel.

Could this be a symptom of an underlying problem. Maybe out of alignment? Suspension? Ball joint?

I really want to get this taken care of before I have to drive 2000 miles for Christmas.

Thanks again for you replies.

Not to my knowledge. Is it something that I can do myself? The dealership seems intent on making me discouraged enough to go away.

How about a worn motor mount?
