Vibration at highway speeds in sport and sport + mode 2016 gle coupe

I’m experiencing vibration (heavy) 70+ mph with my suv. Seems like it’s a MB issue based on my research.

Where is the vibration detected? Brake pedal? Steering wheel? Seat? Elsewhere? Under throttle or no load? Under braking or no braking?

Vibration felt in steering wheel and/or brake pedal while braking = warped rotors.

Vibration felt in wheels while accelerating or coasting = wheel alignment or tire balancing issue.

Those would be the first things I'd look at.

Just FYI, you might want to post this in the GLE Coupe sub-forum to get responses from people who actually own the Coupe.

Exactly as stated above. I would also add I've seen front suspension part wear such as stabilizer arms contribute to vibration also.

I wouldn't say it is a Mercedes issue as this happens to all makes and models when a worn part or mechanical condition exists.
