I would take it back to the dealership and have them check the tire balancing.

No prob...you should be ok. Be optimistic :) These are great cars! Make sure that they do road force balancing. This applies pressure to the tire while balancing. It simulates pressure on the tire from the weight of the car.

These cars do go down the road smooth. If the stearing wheel is shaking, the dealer should be able to find the cause. Most likely a tire out of balance.

WOW! All four tire were out of balance from the factory? Sounds fishy! You sure the dealer didn't do a tire swap before you took delivery?

Hi

Do not know but the wheel still shakes. Not as bad but still does. Maybe a bad Tire?

Bad tire, bad rim even bad rotors or even tierods. Keep taking it back even though it's a hassel.
