Hi Guys,
I've been experiencing a vibration when driving my car pretty much since it was first purchased (only 4 months old and now sitting at 6000 km). The vibration comes and goes when driving around 80km/h and is most prominent on the freeway at approx 120km/h. I can feel it through the seat, pedal and steering wheel and occurs if I am either accelerating or coasting. The weirdest part about it is when I feel the vibration on a particular part of the freeway, the following day if I drive that same stretch it won't be there but then will occur again on a part that it was previously fine on.
I have had a Kia tech drive the car last time it was in for service and he said it is just the feel of the road. Prior to this I had a 2018 Stinger which was silky smooth on the freeway - this is far from it. Any ideas what this could be besides the usual wheel balance? I've balanced the wheels 3 times and also swapped to a different set of original wheels I have, but I still get this vibration.
I will obviously continue to take this up with the dealership, but as you know trying to explain something to them is like pushing shit uphill!
One thing I recently did notice was that If I have my foot slightly on the accelerator at low speeds and move the steering wheel from side to side I can hear a very faint mechanical/grinding type sound. The sound is not present if I am coasting nor is it there if I switch off stability control - Not sure if its related to the vibration, but then again anything is possible.
