Hi there,
I leased a 2013 CTS-V Coupe last Friday and I got to say I love the car, but one thing has me worried/scratching my head. When I drive the car above 50mph on the highway and I accelerate, there is a noticeable vibration coming through the gas pedal which also slightly manifests on the steering wheel. The vibration is not very consistent as sometimes i seem to not get vibration but other times i do, could be my imagination, so i'm having a hard time putting my finger on it. But I can say this for sure, there is definitely a vibration. I've driven Mercedes and BMWs and never experienced such thing so i have to say this is not normal.
The interesting thing is that for some reason if i'm traveling with a passenger the vibration issue is not there, or so it seems to me. I haven't tested this theory fully yet but i will. I brought the car to the dealership suggesting it might be wheels/tire related and the service manager told me he can't touch the car until i put at least 500 miles on it. Maybe it needs some break in? I don't know. Long story short i took the manager on a test run so he could experience the issue and the car made me look silly because it accelerated smooth the whole time which emphasizes my passenger theory.
I'm really not liking this issue at all. What do you guys think this could be? I'd love to get some feedback so that i may take it back to the service department.
