Lexus ES 2007-12 :: Vibration During Driving Even With Balanced Tires
I just can't get my 2007 to drive like a Lexus. At 75-85 I get a vibration. I've had one rim worked on. They said it was bent. So they fixed that and I STILL get a vibration in the steering and in the seat.
I've had the tires balanced by a Lexus dealer. That worked quite a bit, but it still vibrates. Where to take this car?
Lexus ES 2007-12 :: Terrible Noises And Vibration While Driving
Last weekend my son had terrible noises and vibration while driving. He went to a tire shop where they discovered that the lug nuts were loose on the left front wheel. So, the car had been worked on a week before, when a shop did brake work on the back among other things. They say they didn't remove the front wheels, as the front brakes could be examined through the alloy wheels. It was the ES300. Factory alloy wheels.
So, this seems to leave four possibilities:
1. The shop is not being truthful.
2. The nuts worked loose over a 9 month period from the tire rotation done last spring, when they maybe were left a little loose.
3. Vandalism--it is parked on the street.
4. Witchcraft
Any bets? I am particularly interested in the reasonableness of 1 versus 2....
Lexus LS 2007+ :: Vibration After Car Sits For Awhile - LS460 Shakes When Driving
Having problems with total car vibration, especially after the car sits for awhile? I am told this is normal, because of the type of tires on the car.After five returns to the dealer, Lexus replaced them and the car still shakes when driving?

I installed a set of Brake Performance rotors ( slotted ) with premium ceramic pads and have had a bit of strange stuff going on from day one. When I first got them installed there would be a mild grinding or rough feeling when stopping. It got better over the first couple of day but was still there. I also notice a loud whirling or humming noise when I stop from high speeds. I called brake performance and they saids that it may be that the ceramic pad is to hard for the system. It sounded a little odd. The weather in AZ finally hit 77 yesterday so I have been driving with the windows down and have been noticing more of the grinding sound even when the brakes are not pressed.
View 14 RepliesCamry :: Wobbly Vibration Feeling Right At Around 41 MPH
2011 Toyota Camry LE where when the vehicle is driven for the first time of the day, I get a wobbly vibration feeling right at around 41MPH... Doesn't seem to be the transmission, switching gears and putting it into neutral doesn't change the wobble. I've had the vehicle to the dealer 4 times now. Here is what they've tried (with no result):
Replaced all 4 alloy wheels
Replaced all 4 tires
Road force balanced
Replaced both front wheel bearings
Replaced both front axles
Aligned the vehicle
Replaced a "shaft" on the transmission (per the advisor, trying to figure out exactly what part he's referring to)
Replaced both front discs
Vibration all but disappears when the vehicle is warmed up.. about 10 minutes of driving. Is this just normal behavior for this car? I've driven several 2011 Camry's.. Some do it and some don't... Even with different tire/wheel configurations.
Prius (2004-09) :: Slight Vibration / Stutter Feeling At Low Speed
98k miles and if the car is on a slight incline and your backing up or creeping forward it feels like you are going over a rumble strip. that slight stuttering feeling. no codes have tripped. I've asked the toyota dealership and they don't know what could be the problem. The trans axle fluid was changed at 88k and from what i was told there were no metal shavings in the fluid. it was a little dark but after going 88k miles i assume it would be.
View 5 RepliesElantra MD (2010-15) :: 2013 - Lack Of Power / Vibration Like Feeling On The Gas Pedal
I bought an Elantra Gls 2013 automatic 4 doors approx 6 months ago. I have 2 issues with it ....
1- there are lack of power/acceleration issues when driving at speeds between 60 kms/hr and 80 kms/hr. If I drive at 80 kms/hr for awhile and have to slow down like say 60 or 55 kms/hr and need to reaccelerate again, the car seems to lose all its momentum. It's like the automatic transmission didn't downshift and is still in 6th gear at 1500 rpms when I slowed down to 55 kms/hr and ready to reaccelerate. I try to accelerate slowly and it's like there's an air bubble underneath the gas pedal (or resistance). I really have to step on the gas harder so the rpms will go to 2500 and then the car really picks up. It's not a steady regular acceleration....???
2- There's this vibration like feeling on the gas pedal and around driver side floor when the rpm reaches approx 2500 ( when the transmission shifts gears ). I can deal with the noisy engine but when you also feel the vibration / like metal when the car reaches 2500 rpms, it is really really annoying.
Is this common?
Honda - Cr-v :: 2007 - Vibration When Driving At About 40 - 44 Mph
I bought a CRV a few months ago. Of course when I test drove there were no issues. Now when I drive there is vibration like running cow grates at about 40-44mph. I came across a post about this problem but with no solution and it's now closed. Has there been a solution??? It's quite annoying!!!! I read some place else it's in the drive line. But again no solution. It quits of you accelerate or decelerate. You have to be going at a perfectly steady speed. Italso seems to slip or change gears, something, just not a smooth drive at other times. Is this the transmission??? Occasionally it smells really bad after I turn car off too.

I've purchased my 2006 Sonata (LX) 2 years ago and noticed a very bouncy feeling when I drive. When I hit potholes and bumps I can feel the impact on the lower body, and when turning, hitting a bump would pull the car slightly in one direction. I've read through the forums that this might be normal (?) for 2006 Sonata's? I wanted to make sure if this is common occurrence and if changing the struts would make any difference. Here are pictures of my front and rear struts......

We have a 2011 Santa Fe GLS with 3000 km on her. 3.5L with 6spd Shiftronic transmission. Had a "jolting" feeling when first start up after sitting for 4 hours? Of course this doesn't happen every time but more often than not.
We will turn ignition, CUV will start and then a "jolt", like you had high RPM and slammed in gear. Not lurching forward or reverse, but a "bump". Of course that is what it feels like but it happens within 1 second of start-up.
I think it may have something to do with the transmission but not sure. Maybe line pressure too high and torque converter "jolting/jumping/bumping" ....
Santa Fe (CM - 2007-12) :: 2011 - Sudden Vibration When Driving / Whole Car Shakes
I am having problems with vibration on my 2011 Santa Fe 2.2 CRDi Premium, 95% of the time the car is fine, but twice now in the last month, out of nowhere, I can be driving along as standard and all the sudden a vibration will hit the whole car out of nowhere, it almost feels as if there is a bleb or defect on one of the tyres, the whole car shakes, but the shake is not coming through the steering wheel, it is the car body that seems to be shaking, if that makes any sense... However, if I pull over, turn off the engine, restart it, and pull away the vibration immediately disappears???
I am totally lost, as it is a occasional occurrence I can not replicate it for the dealer to inspect as it is still under warranty...
Suburban :: 2007 - Slip And Grab Feeling Coming From The Rear End
My '07 Suburban with 55k miles has a "slip and grab" feeling coming from the rear end (when leaving a dead stop, rounding corners at low speed, and coming to a stop). Almost feels like a bad universal joint. The guy at the local axle shop tells me that this is common among GM trucks. He said that he has never seen one fail, but when I get sick of the feeling to have the rear end replaced. He said that it has something to due with the traction control "governors". I will be taking the vehicle to a GM dealership (since this is drivetrain related and under the 100k warranty. As I would like to be as specific as possible when talking to the dealership.
View 14 RepliesTouareg :: 2007 - Rough Resistance Feeling In Steering Wheel
I have 325 miles on my Touareg. When I drive, especially during the first 15 minutes, I can FEEL something unusual happening in the engine through the steering wheel. Example... when I am stopped at a light, I can feel something like a "hum" or something experiencing resistance in the engine. It's not always continous. I am not used to feeling anything like this through the steering wheel when I am stopped (based on my other cars). This feeling is more pronounced when I turn. It seems to vanish when driving a straight highway after 15 min. I can only relate it to "feeling" a hmmm.
I have never owned a 4WD vehicle so I don't know if this is normal. I wish I could describe it better.
Lexus LS 2007+ :: Vibration At Certain RPM
I am considering the purchase of a 2008 LS. After conducting research I've noticed that there is a common issue around an odd vibration problem at certain rpm and around control arm bushing's with these cars. I've also noticed that there is a common issue around air suspension issues. I based my conclusion around threads that seem to pop up constantly.

Steering vibration coming right around 75 to 80 MPH? I have balanced my wheels 3 times to rule out that being the issue. Also the tires are in great shape. At speeds below or above it rolls smooth.
View 14 RepliesLexus ES 2007-12 :: Vibration / Shaking At 40 - 45 And 70 - 80 Mph
So, I started my journey in getting vibrations out of my car at the dealer (I know, I know, but it's CPO) - had rotors resurfaced, brake job, fluid flushed etc. That worked with pedal pulsing etc.
Now, fast forward 6 months - still have a notable shake at times 40-45, 70-80mph indicated. Took it back to dealer; tires are shot - I figured just a rotate, balance and align would be the cure. I bit the bullet, put on some MXVs and got the car aligned - again, at the dealer. Old tires had the edges fully worn (outside).
Today, after a 200 mile drive, the vibrations are back, and I REALLY don't want to go back to my dealer a third time to resolve this - in addition to not wanting to destroy a brand new set of tires. Who can I turn to to get this under control?
Lexus LS 2007+ :: Vibration While Cruising Between 75 - 78 Mph
I have been noticing some vibration from the rear of the car while cruising between 75-78 mph. I had the tires balanced at Lexus 2 weeks ago and the car feels better but not perfect. I called the service advisor and he said the read out on the balance sheet showed that the tires were balanced perfectly but they will look at it again.
My issue is that I am going to have a set of 22's installed on Monday and I want to make sure nothing is wrong with the car itself because once the aftermarket wheels go on the dealership basically washes their hands of the vibration issues. The tires on the stock wheels are brand new and maybe have 1000 miles on them.
Lexus LS 2007+ :: LS460 - Vibration At 65 - 75 Mph
I took it in to Charles barker Lexus (our dealer here) and they said the water pump was leaking, the front struts were totally blown out, and the 2 belt tensioners had some free play.
Got the dealership I purchased from to pay for the water pump but they would not cover the struts because they said the car pass inspection so they don't believe they are damaged.
Got and independent shop to replace the front struts with kyb 551122 for $400 parts and labor. While they were under the car they said the upper and lower control arms looked newer as if they were replaced recently
Got all wheels balanced at a little small used tire shop small change. The vibration that started at 60mph now starts at 65. Question is are all tire balancers created equally?
Lexus LS 2007+ :: Rear End Had Bad Vibration
I ran over something a few weeks ago and one of my rears had a bad vibration. Took it Friday to the wheel shop and found out it was a bad tire, not the rim so I inquired about the Delinte 305/25/22. They said they can have it the same day there but was in a hurry. Paid a deposit and picked up today. Just as CJITTY posted in another thread, the 305s have more vertical wall compared to the 295s so it doesn't look stretched. My fenders are rolled so I'm sure rubbing will not be an issue. Drove home on 4 on the data system and there was no rubbing whatsoever. I, running a different brand 255 in front now but will be switching to the Delinte 265 shortly. It' looks like it'll be a better side wall comparison to the 305s.
