Hi,

I can't imagine an issue with the Suspension on such a new car, except if something wasn't properly torqued on the Assembly Line and has now shifted. But, have you hit any pot holes, curbs, speed bumps, even a sharp driveway, or the like? You could have delaminated a Tire causing the vibration.

Your Tires and Suspension are virtually new. Well, manufactured things tend to fail at one of two stages - in their infancy or old age. The first because of poor manufacture or assembly, the latter due to old age and simply wearing out.

In either event, everything discussed here is sheer speculation and can only be confirmed by visiting the dealer, or a tire & alignment shop and getting these things properly measured to insure they're within spec. Gonna cost some time and maybe some $$, but there's no other way except to live with it, which I certainly would not. Hope this helps...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
