Jens C320

I've noticed that ever since the last service, when the dealer rotated the tires, I have a vibration. The vibration starts at 95mph and is in full effect by 100mph. It is very noticable, shakes the car car quiet a bit. Now, I've been to the dealer to get this fixed, but they claim that the car feels like all C320's and that they re-balanced the tires, but to no avail. Now, I know the dealer won't drive 100mph to check for a vibration, so what could this be so I can get it fixed? I already checked the tire pressure, and before the tire rotation everything was perfectly smooth.

Have the wheels and tires dynamically balanced at a reputable tire shop. Your dealer wouldn't be Phil Long, would it? I wouldn't let them work on a Ford.

I'm just curious where you get to drive 95-100 mph on a regular basis such that this would be a real issue.....

I'm lucky to get to the speed limit here in Houston - I blame that on the large number of lumbering SUV's.....

I drive on NJ parkways and turnpikes...over 100 regularly.

I drive to school everday on 280, and on the way home, about 11:00am or so, I average about 110mph. Now I go faster than that in certain spots, but when I pass people at that speed, it looks like everyone else is stopped. So far the car has let me go 139, but I'm trying to push it farther.

Actually it is Phil Long...I know I know I had a Ford before and they rearended it while it was in service. But the Denver Mercedes dealer insulted me when I was looking for the C320 back in October. They flat out told me to stop waisting their time since I CAN'T afford one of their cars funny enough, the Colorado Springs VW dealer told me the same thing about the GTI I am driving. I guess I'll have to look around for a place with a good balancing machine.

Interesting...everyday I drive over 100mph. I guess the Interstate here isn't as bad as everyone makes them out to be, except rushour they are relativly empty between the cities (Denver <-> Colorado Springs).

sometimes, a wheel alignment will not just do. you might have a tire problem. maybe they slipped you a bad one....

Well it wouldn't suprise me...one tire developed a buldge after 200miles, dealer was refusing to replace it. It turns out the tire had a patch...and to think this was a factory ordered ca r
