Vibration at Highway Speeds
Recently purchased new 2003 C240 and have experienced a mild vibration since delivery date. With currently 1000 miles, I have had it in for service 2 times however service tech states they can't feel the vibration. They have rebalanced the michelin tires, but still vibration. I get alot of feedback in the steering wheel, even over the slightest bumps in road. The vibration seems to worsen while excelerating. I've had it over several smooth roads, however still vibration. Having driven several C240's (including friends) I know this isn't typical. Is it possibly something in the steering. Only reason I wonder is due to the excess road feel in the steering wheel. If only I can correct this issue, I would love my car. I absolutely hate the idea of scheduling another svc appointment knowing they will say there's nothing wrong with the car when there apparantly is. Any ideas are greatly appreciated. Too bad I have to do the svc techs job in diagnosing the problem.
Thanks for all input

i never experienced the vibration in the steering wheel, but both front doors due vibrate....apt next week to check it out 
sorry i'm not much help, i only know that steering wheel vibration occur when you have misalignment. but you already tried alignment. i don't know if you can have something else cause the vibrations.

One thing to add about repeat problems. Make sure you meet a tech at the dealer that you demonstrate the problem to. Once you do that, the guys tend to have a lot of pride in making sure it never comes back for that problem.
I've had repeated problems with a squeaky sunroof until I got introduced to the QA technician that checks out every fix before it goes back to the customer. He made sure the problem was fixed!
