2013 gt with annoying vibration above 55. anyone else?

[2mchtoy]

Brought back to the dealership. They put on new tires. Nope. Still there. They suggested bringing it to a dealer with a road balancer. Did that. Helped alittle. Still there though. Driving me nuts. They don't know what else to look for since the cars are soo new. Thinking about a class action law suite if they can't figure it out as I have read of a lot of mt82 owner's complaining also and I have an auto. My wife took out a new 6 speed and said it was worse in the manuals.

Mine is pretty damn smooth and quite. I have about 2,100 miles as of today. You getting a vibration from the steering wheel or where at?

 

[moostang09]

No vibration for me. Been zero-138mph with no issues. 1,400 miles!

it happens when you start driving above or braking from 55? braking is a common issue and you might wanna skim the brakes, but never mind it will occur again after a heavy brake..
vibration while driving usually from unbalanced wheels but you said they did the job, or perhaps they didn't do it right

my 0.02 cents

After-market wheels?

They change out the stock wheels if those are what you're on?

Could be a D/S that lost a weight, improperly set D/S angle, bent axle(s), bad motor mounts, trans mounts, bad suspension pieces, the list goes on. If all they've done is replace the tires, they're no where NEAR being done trouble-shooting this.

I have the same problem... They can't figure it out either and say its normal. If you figure it out let me know. I gave up after a new rear end and tires.

It seems rotational issue but mine seems to get better over 100mph from 50-85 is ridiculous. My feet literally fall asleep from the unique vibration.

I hold my shifter and I feel no vibration in it...which if the d/s was unbalanced I would think the shifter would feel it.

I've got 6,000 miles on mine, have hit 142 MPH on the NJ Turnpike, have made 15 passes at the track, and never had an issue, with vibrations, you got me curious.

Just at 7500 miles and no issues with noise or vibration

no vibes on either of ours...

I have a 2013 GT and no issues. Mine has 4500 miles, took it from NJ to FL and no viberations. Pretty smooth driving car.

Do you know if the tires are properly balanced?

It's probably the epas

 

[Scuba-Matt]

It's probably the epas

^^^^^THIS^^^^^
There have been many issues with the electric steering

 

[konablue11gt]

When you get the vibrations are you driving with traction control off or in sport mode? what kind of road surface is it on? When i read your description it does sound like EPAS shudder your describing

Yeah, most likely your EPAS

 

[Fake_Snake]

When I fly back in to nashvile I will immediately turn on to the highway from where I'm parked I will check to see if mine does it I have 1100 miles on mine which almost 900 miles are from driving under 45 mph

 

[dre256]

Wow, i just saw the video on the EPAS and thats crazy!

How many people does that effect? Guess Ford has to put new electric sterring ?

 

[way2qk4u2c]

I'm going to experiment with the advance Trac on and off to see if that's my issue too. My steering does shimmy but not as bad as that video. Hopefully this is the answer because it's driving me nuts.

 

[JDos1]

As said, it sounds like either the EPAS or their balancer isn't calibrated properly.

i agree. my 13 has nearly 4k miles and no vibrations.

Let's see. Tires have been re balanced then replaced. Still stock wheels. Then put on the road balancer which puts a road load on tires and rebalancing them. Doesn't matter what type of road it's always there 55 and above. Gets worse as you go faster. My thought is the driveshaft as that is what I did to fix my fox body when it had a higher speed vibration. If you hold the bottom of the steering wheel you feel the vibration worse which is weird. All the tech's can feel it as can the service manager. Which I guess I'm lucky at least they know I'm not crazy.
