Vibration in front seats

da(m)n · 03-14-2022, 02:44 PM

Hi all,

I have noticed the passenger seat vibrating when driving on any type of road surface or speed when alone in the car. No weird noises in the suspension.

Service didn't notice anything unusual (without test-drive though). Any suggestion on what this could be/solution?

Many thanks

Any abnormal play in the seat? e.g. grabbbing it and shaking it?

These models are very sensitive to out of balance wheels/tires or excessive road force from the tires. I recommend having a shop with a road force balancing machine check road force. Anything over 10lbs on these vehicles will be felt.

Does the car have the massage seat option?
