High Speed Vibration
Anyone experiencing any vibration around 80-90mph?

I've noticed some slight vibration as the needle moves to 80 then it stops. Where i notice alot of vibration and surging is in the brakes. I think my rotors have been warped and need resurfaced. This may also play a role in the slight acceleration vibration.
It might also be that the tires aren't balanced properly. So far it hasn't been a big enough problem to make me take it to the dealer. I'll wait til my first oil change and then have them look.

just had my rotors resurfaced-fixed slight braking vibration, but seems like I still have a little vibration at around 80 even after tire rotation....I think I might take it in and have it checked out

if you feel the vibration on the floor..something is wrong with the rear wheels
if you feel the vibration on the steering wheel..its coming from the front wheels
if its not the wheel balance..also consider the tires..when my tires tread distorted from hard braking..it caused vibration in my car..the some of the tread blocks looked like tooths..the pic is an exaggeration
also check the tirerack's vibration chart

Yep, the front wheels bounce like basketballs sometimes. Seems the CL-S is a car like any other car after all.
