The Official '11 Steering Wheel Viration Thread/Poll
So, with over 5,000K miles now I've been able to pin point that I feel a vibration in the steering when when the RPM's are at EXACTLY 800 and then 1800. I feel it even when I am in "Park" and depress the accelerator and hold it steady at those RPM points for a few seconds, although the vibration is more pronounced when I am in "Drive" and I do the same thing. (Try this-- Put your car in drive and move the RPM's to 800...rolling forward slowly...then keep it at 800 for 5 seconds or so... Do you notice a distinct vibrationin the steering wheel compared to the otherwise dampened feel of the wheel?
It doesn't seem to matter what gear I'm in... I feel it in all of them, except that when I am 'at speed' on the highway in 8th gear at 1800 RPMs (about 80 mph) I do not feel a vibration.
I should note that when accelerating quickly through those RPM points I feel the viration, although only briefly because the RPMs are obviously not being held at those points. I also do feel a vibration from time to time (someone described it as "crunchiness" on slow turns... For eg, I always feel it when turning into my driveway, but not necessarily on every turn... I'm thinking this is connected to the car being at the RPM points noted about for a period of time as I am making certain turns...
At least one forum member has tested their CS and has not felt this, but others have. I recall feeling a similar vibration in the steering wheel on my dealer's loaner car (when I was in for soemthing else) although I do not recall if it occurred exactly at these RPM points.
The vibration is not present at other RPM points, although
Is anyone else experiencing the same thing?

just checked mine while parked, there is a very small hint of vibration at 800 that goes away around 1000 and then comes back around 1800 and goes away again, but it is barely noticeable and its is probably due to some kind of resonnance from the engine. not readily felt at all you have to look for it to feel it.

Bingo, that's it. Thanks for checking. It is a little more muted while in park then while driving...
