Ok, having an issue with a new Jeep. My 75th anniversary 1.4 Manual trans 18" stock wheels tires. I have no modifications and I get a vibration that starts 40-65 and gets what I consider to be bad at 80mph. Can anyone hear tell me if they experience the same thing. My previous latitude 2.4 auto was smooth at this speed, never had this. I have Chrysler support involved and the dealer attempted to correct with a 50G weight on front passenger side. Didn't really help. Can you guys share you experience? https://goo.gl/photos/7nzB28fMQLfRdcNGA
Maybe get your axles checked? My father's Ford Escape had a similar problem. Started off as a slight vibration that got worse with speed. The dealer replaced the tie rod ends first, but that did nothing. Took it back and they found one axle was bent. Another thing that it could be is perhaps a rim is out of round? Does the vibration come from the front or back? or from a particular side? Your alignment can also be off too. However, the vibration can also eventually throw your alignment off too.
Definitely think it's a wheel tire issue as the dealer tech attempted to add a 50g weight to it. The dealer is going to get me a loaner so they can spend a whole day with it next week. Want to get this resolved ASAP because I love the Jeep. Once this is behind me I'll be satisfied.
They road forced balanced it and attempted to correct the imbalance on the rear passenger wheel. They scratched my quarter panel when they initially were spin balancing so it's in their body shop for another day or so. Hope to get it back for the weekend. I pray they finally fixed the balance issue that's the only issue I'm having.
