Steering and Acceleration
2 Quick Questions: For some reason, on the highway at highspeeds, my steering wheel starts to shake, and i could feel it even in the footrest.
Also when i accelerate kind of hard, it doesn't feel smooth at all?
I just got a wheel alignement done so i don't think its that.
Anybody know whats wrong?

Have you tried having all 4 rims and tires balanced? I had this problem and I got a 4 wheel alignment which didn't solve it. Once I got the tires/rims balanced, it was fine.....

I had what sounds like the same problem. The dealer never did anything about it because they claimed it was soley caused by a bent wheel i have (hit a BIG pennsylvania pothole). But that bent wheel was moved to the rear, and my steering wheel still shook. So i went to A&H and they balanced all my wheels, which solved the problem.

Those Pennsylvania potholes will get you everytime! I think JuniorBean and UDMechE are right, you need to get your wheels re-balanced.
